Flat bills don't bend properly. They are made different.

They bend just fine. I bought the new era LSU hat when we wore the white caps with purple bills

I like the white but a white hat for me is like wearing a white shirt to a spaghetti dinner.

Colored shirt < 5% chance of getting sketti on my shirt
White shirt > 95% chance of sketti on my shirt

Hate the flat bill soo much, but as long as the youngsters keep wearing them they won't go away

That hat looks incredible if you have worn it every day for 11 years. It only takes me about 2 years to wear my hats down to about that. I've turned gold hats blue, I've turned blue hats gold. Funny how the dirt goes the opposite color.

Those are the ones I usually wear with the staircase LSU. I have that navy one, an all purple, purple/white front panel, all purple/gold bill, etc.


If you want a hat that's not a flat bill, buy the 47 Brand franchise hat.

Structured, wide brim hats with a slight bend look 100x better than those slouchy super bent bill hats IMO. More functional, too.

Yes official baseball caps are designed to be flat bill now days and take consistent work to bend. Part of that is functional since a flat bill does fit better with sunglasses but also the look these days. You are better off buying a pre bent bill. I hate the feel of new era caps anyway.

If you indeed did buy a flat bill hat and Lids won't take it back, I would highly suggest using it as kindling. frick flat bills. I curve the shite out of mine.

I'm lucky my generation didn't grow up wearing those flat billed abomination's called "hats" I've got two 47 brand ones from Lids and love them. Fit tight on my dome, and the bill stays curved.
