haha, the timing of this thread.  
We just got some sweet flexfit hats the other day. We were wearing them around the shop with the tags still on acting all thug. I got mine dirty already welding under a car.  
Anyway I had my welded plugged into a work bench 6way, just to reach something to tack. So I did have to move the car. I lost power, After looking into it, the 6way took a dump.  
Someone gose.  
“WTF John you broke broke my outlet, it was fine yesterday!”  
I didn’t know he was joking, getting all mad at me at 1st.:picard:

If that hat with the crown is for the ALKN then they really fucked it up. Most of the crown tats or insignias are 5 points, in prisons some are 3. They won’t buy this if the crown isn’t designed that way.

Fuckin noobs

At least this recall isn’t because the caps are full of lead.

Though I guess wearing the wrong cap in the wrong part of town could result in lead being fired your way.
