Well at least when I go to work. I wrench on machines for a living and we are required to wear either hair nets or hats because we make some products for beverage and pharmaceutical companies. I have a few hats I rotate through - Cleveland Indians, Strider, and a Spyderco hat.
When getting ready to leave for work the other day my wife said to me - "Really? How old is that hat anyway? "
So I go to the Website and all they have is some Fidel Castro style hat that is sold out. Are there any plans for a plain Spyderco Hat like I already have? My wife is right I'm overdue for a new hat, but I'd like to get another Spydie hat. I think I bought my old hat on clearance in 07 or 08.
Add me to the list of those who wish they'd bring back the baseball cap, as mine's getting a bit ratty too. Would really like to see it in the original black plus a couple new colors, light denim blue and tan.
Gotta love all that AIB Certified crap huh? I worked at a place that required hair nets...and I had to wear one even though I shave my head to the skin...I had to work everyday with a baby butt smooth head with a hair net on it. SO stupid. At the same time me and most of the guys there had beards that they didn't care one bit about. More hair fell off my arms than off my head but I had to wear a hair net. :rolleyes:

a nice, modern hat, sandwich bill, "semi-fitted", quality... in true Spyderco fashion... (not the cheap hats some companies use as "promotional material"... I don't mind in the least paying the extra for a good hat.

Agreed. I will not wear cheap hats regardless of whom has their name on it. I will pay more for modern with a flex-fit or semi-fitted band. I have no problem paying $25-$30 for a hat that I will actually wear.

Right on. I picked up a lightweight Patagonia cap at Dick's Sporting Goods a while back for about $17 on sale. Talk about a comfy hat! Quality stuff is also likely to last a bit longer too.

I'll add my voice to the chorus. I'd like to buy a new Spyderco baseball-style cap (or four). The "dri fit" material would be great - it is a lot more comfortable in the hot weather than cotton...

I spent a summer in college working a temp job at a pharmaceutical manufacturer packaging drugs for shipment to pharmacies. At that job, we had to wear hair nets and beard masks for those who had beards. We also has to wear uniforms that consisted of pants and long sleeved shirts. The uniforms were not allowed to leave our facility. We also had to either bring in brand new dedicated shoes that would be sterilized and never leave the facility or we had to wear booties over our shoes. It was, understandably, a very strict place. I also shave my head to the skin every other day, but I didn't at the time I had this job. Not sure what the rule would have been if I had, but I'm guessing it wouldn't have changed anything.

What are you kidding? That hat looks just broken in. :) If you get a brand new one would you wear it and stop wearing this one?

Totally agree. I would love to have a good quality Spyderco hat and I would gladly pay $30 for it. Make it similar to some of the New Era hats or authentic MLB hats and it would be great. A red one would be nice too.
