Guess what? The best hat ever made by anyone isn't made anymore!!! (trying to control floods of sobbing) Remember that Seinfeld episode where Jerry did the bit about men wearing their underwear to the point where they can just walk up to a window and a breeze will blow away the remaining scraps of a favorite pair they were hanging on to? Yeah well that's how it is with me and my favorite Oakley Icon Cap. It is literally in shreads after repeated dyings and the last time I bleached it before the dying process which only ate away further at the precious remaining fabric. I've had it for 11 years and went through of 3 identical ones prior to this one. So naturally I looked on-line for a replacement only to discover that Oakley has discontinued the hat. WHY THEN haven't they removed it from their site yet, your guess is as good as mine. With the billions of revenue they accumulate from thier overpriced goods (people are just paying for the name - I bet even the most expensive pair of sunglasses only costs $5.00 to fully manufacture) they could at least properly update their website. But no. Here I was looking for a replacement for the only hat that ever "fit right" and the mothersite of Oakley said it was available only to be not true. I have never been so disappointed in my life. What can I do now? Everywhere I go I try on different Oakley caps but to no avail. If anyone has any advice who has read this or has an old Icon cap that is in good shape please send me info at autumn_axis@yahoo.com and I will buy it from you, thanks.

Color: Black, Blood, Blue Corduroy

I have owned many of these basic caps over the last 8 years. I hadn't seen Oakley caps in a long time (during the classic logo days) and then a new basic cap had appeared more similar to this than what is called Basic Cap. I thin black material with silver embroidery. It featured the Icon and stretch logo on the front and had the # 1242 on the rear.

It had later showed up in Black, Blood and White with "O Matter" on the rear and even came out made form 8 Whale Corduroy and Mesh.

They were all great hats and it was a nice alternative to wear in the summer when the other popular styles at the time were heavy wool Starter caps or just basic rough fabric.

The only downfalls on these originals were shrinkage and the Blood bled into the white embroidery in the rain.
