Recommendations to Uncover American Flag Design Hats

By Trevor Price

American flag hats are the perfect way to show off your patriotism, whether you're proudly displaying it for an event or having fun on the Fourth of July. For a list and review of some of the best places to find great flag hats, keep reading.

Cafe Press

Cafe Press is a website that lets the customer purchase any piece of blank apparel, including hats, and print or embroider it with any image or text they want (provided it fits). In addition to being able to make you a custom flag hat, they also produce their own brand of American flag hats.

At Cafe Press, you can expect to pay under $20 for a pre-made American flag baseball cap. If you're buying an original or customized hat, the prices can often go as high as $30, particularly if you're having the hat embroidered rather than silkscreened.

Flag Pro Retailer

Flag Pro is a company that specializes in flag sales along with a wide range of flag clothing and apparel. Alongside hats, they sell neckties, T-shirts-shirts, jackets and more - all emblazoned with a patriotic image of the American flag.

Wal-Mart Locations

Every Wal-Mart in the United States stocks and carries flag hats. It's a constantly stocked item that's kept with and next to American flags and other U.S. apparel items. Patriotic hats at Wal-Mart typically retail for between $5 and $15, with most hats falling under the $10 mark. You can find great deals just after Independence Day.

BuyCostumes Online

If you're looking for a novelty flag hat that's more costume-style than honorable patriotic, then this is the place to go. As the web's largest costume retailer, they have a massive selection of flag clothing and hats that are perfect for Halloween or Independence Day.

Web Hats Website

Web Hats is a company that specializes in novelty, unique and rare hats. If you're looking for a Statue of Liberty hat, you'll find it here. If you're looking for an exact replica of the Uncle Sam hat, you'll find it here. If you want a sequined hat with flying flags on the top, it's here as well.

Unfortunately, the prices at Web Hats are a little on the high side. Then again, there isn't much competition in the world of novelty hats.

Finally, remember to consider the appropriateness of certain American flag hats before you wear them. For example, though it may seem patriotic, wearing a flapping and sequined flag top hat to a Veteran's Day service would be inappropriate, when wearing that same hat to a Fourth of July bar-b-que would be fine.

Just bear in mind that the flag is a symbol of this nation, and while it can be worn, it should never be disrespected. Hundreds of thousands of men and women have given their lives in sacrifice to defend the meaning of the American flag, so tastefulness and appropriateness are always in style when wearing it on apparel.
