I sell hundreds of the cotton twill mesh back hats to a few gun clubs every
year. I usually talk my Foam Hat people into the twills like Ron does. I
usually get mine from KC Caps, really like the quality and they are around
$1 each. I was actually just having fun with Ron. Now he wants to take
all my business :O
Dana,
I have a few silkscreeners I do contract work for and I have them do all my
printing. I actually haven't had a call for silkscreened foam hats but I
can have them done no problem. I think they are the ugliest thing in the
world but if thats what the customer wants and what sells then thats fine
with me.
