Pentax Hat?

**MXLX** · 06-25-2021, 06:01 AM

Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this; mods please feel free to move the thread if it is.

Wondered if anyone had experience with the white-on-black Pentax hat that is offered on the corporate website. Quality, material, fit, etc.
TIA.

I have one. Nicely made. Gets a bit hot in the sun.

Because of the color, I take it? It would be awsome to have a medium to dark gray with red lettering like the old M- and A- series lens boxes.

I have seen some hats with other colours. Someone also posted a vector version of the Pentax logo, so anyone could get a hat made in the colour of their choice.

I can second this. It's a well-made, comfortable hat. I tend to wear wide brimmed headwear if I know I'll be in the sun for a while.

I had a 90's version of the Pentax hat when I was a kid that I'm pretty sure B&H sent in the "kit" when I bought my first ZX-M.

It was black w/ "suede" brim and I don't think I'd be caught dead wearing it today :P

While we're on the topic of hats, I'd like to see a nice bucket hat bearing the Pentax logo. We all have to keep our ears safe, don't we?

The vector file of the Pentax logo could be used for that too

You talking bucket hat like Donald Sutherland wore in MASH?

Will anyone worth working with actually let the average civilian take a logo like Pentax's and have it embroidered on clothing, like via an Etsy store or something? I could see a run of a dozen of such hats being offered through a friendly enthusiast's forum but there might be issues with that...
