Ok I know most of you are not down with the Flat Brims but I am even though I am a 45 year old father of two. I have wanted a Ping Flat Brim for a while now and was tired of waiting so I had my own made. So I could not use the Ping name as it is trademarked for clothing and hats as well as a bunch of other things. But I have a brand new set of S56 irons and after a check thru the uspto.gov website I found tht Ping only trademarked the S56 for golf clubs not for clothing or hats. I am very familiar with how trademarks work since own several myself. And this is not an attempt to make any money I am just a very loyal Ping fan been playing them since 85 I even named my son Karsten. I had to have 12 of these hats made as a minimum and I am keeping 4 of them so I will sell 8 to try and recoup some of the money I spent on them. They are Otto Caps Flex fit size l/xl and top quality. I have a thread in the classified if you want to buy one.

Pretty cool idea. Even though that's what the kids are wearing, you can pull it off. Not bad

Be sure to save that picture to show to your kids in 20 yrs.!

I'm glad you're into the style. When the kids see someone your age wearing those horrible caps the fad will certainly die and quickly.

Yeah if it were that simple I would be wearing some skinny jeans/pants as I am not a fan of that look. But I am anything but traditional I have been a musician, snowboarder and a chef my whole adult life and march to the beat of my own drum. More then the look of the flat brim they just fit my head better. I have a 7.5 hat size and most traditional hats are to small and don't fit me correctly. I actually put a slight bend in the brim of the caps I wear.

Believe me there are many other photos of myself that my kids will laugh at when they are older.  I know this because my wife dies laughing at some of them and can't believe that is who she married.

If my head is a 7 1/8 fitted, will the L-XL fit?

Should be fine the L/XL were described as fitting size's 7 - 7 5/8.

Thanks for the order let me know how you like it.

I'm really liking the hats man. They look clean with just the S56 down in the corner. Sadly I don't play S56 irons even though I love them but I think you got a great idea here. I almost wanna steal the idea for my deloved AP2's but they are in their last season.

I got my hat today from Otto. If your thinking about buying one, go for it. They are very nice hats. They look even better with just a little curve. Dustin Johnson like.
