The fabric of the cap is actually made from cork, which must not the easiest material to mold into a hat. A brown leather band with silver loops adjusts the headwear within a span of 56 to 60 centimeters. The D.Original logo appears on the front of the cork cap, an angry mean-mugged skull with swords instead of crossbones.
When you’re wearing the D.Original Cork Snapback, you don’t have to worry about finding a place to put all the numbers you pick up during a boys night out. Just bring along some tacks and stick them to your hat. Don’t be ashamed to boast about how much of a ladies' man you are.
