It\u2019s an undeniable fact that a bird\u2019s eye view of my head seems to shine quite radiantly these days. Most of what was once a beautiful head of hair has gone drainside prompting my DermaDoc to demand that I cover up when playing golf. For years, I\u2019ve had many occasions to use the hundreds of golf hats accumulated from \u00a0many sources. Red, black, blue, orange, lavender, white, brown\u2026if you pick it I can pull it out, flaunt it about, and bore you with the story that goes with it. The problem was, I never looked good in what was actually a \u201cbaseball\u201d cap with golf, police, or military related logos. Why, I thought, can\u2019t someone come up with a more stylish cap that will serve the same protection yet with a bit of class and style?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always been a Ben Hogan fan and have just about everything that\u2019s been written about or by him including the August 8, 1955 issue of Life Magazine. That issue, which sits on top of my bookcase and where I see it every day, depicts a picture of Mr. Hogan wearing his recognizable white flat cap. THE HOGAN HAT<\/em>! That\u2019s it!!!<\/p>\n

\"hat\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I call it the Hogan Hat <\/em>but it has also variously been known as ivy caps<\/em>. cabbie caps, flat caps, newsboy caps, golf caps and driver<\/em> caps. Rounded and marked by their distinctive short brims at the front, these caps are both elegant and casual at the same time. They\u2019re a versatile style that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Dating back to Europe\u2019s 14th<\/sup> century, these iconic hats became a popular choice for sport car drivers, cartoon characters (Andy Capp) and prominent golfers. Tom Weiskopf wore one. So did Payne Stewart. Even Bryson DeChambeau is wearing something similar on the tour these days. I love the style, it\u2019s functional, and it\u2019s not a baseball cap. The problem was I couldn\u2019t find anyone selling the HOGAN HAT<\/em>. Some offered a similar design but their version wasn\u2019t cotton or it didn\u2019t have the snap in front. I couldn\u2019t even find a HOGAN<\/em> at the PGA Merchandise Show. I talked with Pukka, Imperial, Flexfit, Legendary and several other headwear companies. Nothing! I even talked with the Ben Hogan Company itself. None of them had the \u201cflatcap\u201d style I was searching for and weren\u2019t able to direct me elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Fortuitously, I stumbled upon the Kings Cross Company<\/strong> \u00a0(www.kingscrossknickers.com<\/a>) that showcased the exact classic model I sought. I ordered it and received a perfect replica of what Mr. Hogan wore. I don\u2019t know why it was so difficult to locate this particular style so I asked my cap a number of questions:<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Are you a hat or a cap?
\nCap:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Use your head for something other than a hat rack, John. It\u2019s pretty obvious\u2026all caps are hats but not all hats are caps.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Why is your style so hard to find?
\nCap:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You\u2019re not looking in the right place..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Can you help a golfer score well?
\nCap:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Could we please just leave sex out of this interview?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Why the snap in front?
\nCap:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A zipper didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Are white and black your only colors
\nCap:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019re not racists, you know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Why the slant back to front instead of front to back?
\nCap:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Have you ever seen a Porsche with a raised front end?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I don\u2019t see any plumbing. Which team are you on?
\nCap:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019re worn mostly by men but the ladies could start a very colorful trend.<\/p>\n

\"hat2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was obvious I wasn\u2019t going to get some serious answers to my questions so I returned the cap back to my closet. Now my world is a little more stylish, my baldo is still protected, and my golf score is sure to improve. All because I found a source for the vanishing Hogan<\/em> style cap.<\/p>\n
