Seeking a lost hat from my lost youth

May 19, 2009 8:00 AM

I used to have a brown UPS drives hat. It was the old style with the plastic buckle. It was given to me in 1998 or so by a UPS driver that I randomly asked if he knew where I could get a hat from. I was doing a school project where I wore a different style of hat every week for the entire school year. Anyway. At some point I lost the hat. I would like to get another one. Anyone know where I can get it, or just really sturdy hats with the nice plastic snap buckles any more? The ones with the holes and pegs in them.

I had asked a friend that worked at UPS a few years back if he could get me one, but he said that after 911, they tightened control of that (not sure if its true or not).
So any information would be helpful.

Thanks!

YEah, I've checked ebay periodically throughout the years, and never found the exact cap.
It looks like almost all of those have the crappy fabric strap in the back.
