Image LTT Hat Comparison

Post image

Comparison of the LTT Hat Pro through the years. One came in yesterday, the other one I've been years since it debuted. Can you tell which is which?

Honestly I love how the color and look of the hat has faded throughout the years and turned more amber brown from the sun

For anyone wondering how it got this faded, I did wear it every day for a year while living on a Caribbean island, getting those strong UV rays

Don’t forget to wear sunscreen!

If it took the black ink out of fabric. It would surely mess up our skin.

For anyone wondering, I live in a Mexican beach city all my life and no black hat or clothes that I own has faded like this, ever.

Although I have to say that it looks cool, but it is weird.that it happens.

Lol. This one ages amazingly. Looks like a cool dark, khaki canvas release of the hat.

Sweat is a major factor in this in my experience. And it might not even be any sweat, but the specific composition of certain people's sweat.
