Blanck's 'Kite Missile' Hat

There are three things I like about Blanck’s ‘Kite Missile’ Hat. One, you’ll probably be the only kid on the block wearing it; two, it has an adjustable snap closure (harder to find these days, and more forgiving to those of us with big craniums); and three, it’s in keeping with the military/cold war-era trend that’s been going on in headwear lately. The details are especially appealing as well– the whimsical motif of a kid flying a cruise missile “kite” and the added texture of the rubber print rising from the surface of the hat both add complexity to the appearance and message of the hat.
