    High patrol hats
    I really didn't know what category this should be in, but this looked as good as any. You will probably think this is weird, but so what. It bothers me.
    Those hat that most state troopers wear ( Smokey the Bear Hats) ; they are always three fourths of the way up the back of their heads with that silly little strap holding them on, brim in front all the way down to their eye brows. Why not buy a hat that fits and do away with the girly strap? If it is supposed to be macho or intimidating, it ain't working.

    If they are driving in cruisers or on bikes I can understand the safety feature. I don't think it is meant to be intimidating, prairid dog. Why don't you become a state trooper and find out really how intimidating it is? The strap serves a purpose and when you think about it it might make sense, and I don't even live around you.

    Their hats are all sized according to their head size, their uniforms follow suit, everything has to fit. Their hats are sized to fit their heads the same as the helmets for our police force in Toronto. Perfect fit means safety, prairie dog.
