Thrilliest Finds: Snap-backs, Caps, Beanies, and some Random Hats

For the past years, I have unconsciously accumulated some fancy headgear.

Thrilling on snap-backs, caps, beanies, and some random hats.


Whenever I'm shopping, I already have this mental list of specific items I want to buy. When I'm in the actual store, I just buy hats.



I've been trying to clean cleaning my room. I tried organizing and I realized how much hats I've already salvaged. Thought I could share it here.

GIYONGCHY G-DRAGON CAP



My current favorite. I've been wearing this cap almost everyday. I wear it when I'm commuting to work, taking a walk in a park, going to the gym or just grocery shopping.

It's made out of black faux leather pleather with the word GIYONGCHY embroidered on it. It's a word play on the name Jiyong and the brand Givenchy care of the style king Kwon Jiyong a.k.a. G-Dragon from Big Bang. It's ostensibly designed to look like the real deal, making it less of a dupe spoof phony, but I like it. I like G-Dragon and his style so when I saw this cap, crap, I just had to buy it no matter what. I got the one with the green strap at the back.

If you want one too, you can get one from ebay for 20 US dollars. It comes in black pleather with either a pink or a green strap at back.

WOODEN WOVEN SNAP-BACK


This cap is gold. I'm always on the lookout for unique and original caps and this cap definitely fits the category. I found it in a store that sells Filipino paintings, figurines, furniture, and other novelty items. It's a goldmine out there! Who would have thought a cap like this would be sitting there on top of a wooden carabao's head.

It's made out of abaca with sleek woven decal on the brim. The inside is lined with faux leather. The woven abaca lace on the brim resembles the banig, which is nice. Makes it really unique.

It also reminds me of the woven Bowller cap I saw in the past. I don't know where to find it anymore.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE'S FLUFFY HAT

I got this from my mom. It reminds me of Strawberry Shortcake. It resembles Strawberry Shortcake's hat.

It's not my style. This is what my mom thinks of my style. She got style. That's all.

OLD NAVY BLUE OLD NAVY CAP

This cap may not look like anything swag but it is comfty.  It's slim-fit and doesn't have a snap at the back. It's so old, it isn't sold anywhere anymore.



STRIPED GREY BEANIE

One day, I thought, I should get something that's not black. I got grey. Trust me, it's a totally different color.


At least it's striped, right? Aye.

VANS SLIM-FIT GREY CAP

My reason for getting this one is the combination of the two I have just mentioned above.

This cap is slim-fit, comfortable, and it's not black. I shouldn't have bought this. Impulse buying, I hate you. I'm a FOOL.

DENIM HURLEY SNAP-BACK

Denim on denim was so trendy last year. I wear this cap often.


BUDWEISER CAP

Ever since my brother got married, this cap has been living in my closet. I stole inherited this from him. 



I don't drink beer but I like this hat because it reminds me of old Budweiser commercials with the frog and iguana in it.

SUPREME RED AZTEC CAP


The Supreme brand has been getting pretty popular lately. I got this for my twin sister because she told me she likes red caps. I wear it sometimes because it's not black and I like the aztec vibe.

Not related: I used to play a lot of Counter-Strike. I always chose de_aztec over de_dust or de_dust2. I rarely play nowadays.

BLACK HURLEY SNAP-BACK WITH HUGE-ASS HURLEY SCRIPT

I hate it but sometimes I can't avoid being part of the consumerist society.



LEE COOPER KHAKI CAP

When my brother was still in college, he and his four other friends would have similar hairstyles. On one occasion, all of them would be bald heads. On another occasion all of them would look like metal-heads. On normal days, they would all be wearing caps, looking like a group of hit-men.


Inherited from my brother. I like the adjustable leather strap at the back.

FLUFFY WOLF HAT

My twin sister thinks it fits me because I have the same brown color on my hair. I love her.


My twin sister bought me this because I like EXO. They have an album called XOXO which had the title-song WOLF. Check them out.

NIKE GOLF CAP


It's sad but I don't feel anything for this cap. I don't wear it that much. Inherited from either my older sister or my brother. It's hard to gravitate towards something so plain.

BOY LONDON BEANIE

If there's a cap I wear everyday, there's also a beanie I wear in most cold days. 


It's made out of thick and warm knitted fabric.

BAD BOY DIY-ED HAT

I saw a youtube video where some dude was customizing all his caps. 


I wanted to try DIY-ing out. I bought this one in all black and changed the brim into a pink one and covered the top button white. I think it came out okay. My friends disagree.

RAINBOW BEANIE

My twin sister likes it a lot. She says it looks like food. This hat suits her and her personality very much. So bright and happy. She's my best friend.


This hat is from KUSH, a local knitted hat brand in the Philippines. They have all sorts of knitted accessories dedicated for all types of people, including babies, grandmas and gangstas.

PLAIN BLACK BEANIE

For times I feel blue, I wear black.


I like it because it's plain. It's also from KUSH.

KENZO SNAP-BACK

Kenzo is such a cool brand I just had to get it. 



It has two things I really like - it's Japanese and it's pink.

MAROON SUPREME BEANIE

It's New Year and I needed some luck. I had to have something red to wear.


It's a near red color. Plus, I was feeling supreme on the day I got this.

BLACK CAP WITH A RED STAR

One of my favorite films is The Motorcycle Diaries. Gael Garcia Bernal is in it but it's no Y Tu Mamá También. It's a film about Ernesto Guevara (Che) and his friend Alberto Granado. Let the world change you, and you can change the world.


My brother knew I liked the film. I do like it a lot. I've watched it like 8 times.

He visited home one time and got this.

I own twenty hats in total. Hopefully, I stop there.
