Board Certified Back Porch Meteorologist Hat

Board-Certified Back Porch Meteorologist

Every family's got one. The man who steps off the porch, squints at the western sky, holds a wet finger to the wind, and announces with total authority that "this'n's gonna go north of us." No degree. No green screen. No Doppler. Just forty years of watching the way the trees turn their leaves over before a storm and a knee that aches when the pressure drops.

He's right more than the news is, and he'll tell you so.

This one's for him — and for everybody who's become him without meaning to. The credential nobody issued but everybody earned, stitched in gold and navy with a funnel cloud touching down right where it counts. Wear it on the porch where you do your finest forecasting. Wear it to the hardware store. Wear it the next time the sirens go off and you're the one standing in the yard instead of the hallway.

The Particulars

• 5-panel, mid-profile crown — sits right, not too tall, not too flat
• Structured front panel with full buckram, so it holds its shape and the lettering stands up straight
• 65% polyester / 35% cotton blend twill — breathable, durable, soft enough to break in quick
• Slightly curved visor (bend it to taste)
• 6 sewn eyelets and a pro-stitched front
• Plastic snapback closure — one size fits most, adjusts to fit dang near any head
