The Madlad Hat is a true classic. It just screams vintage cool as soon as you put it on. This hat can be made with or without the brim. If you bypass the brim, you’ll end up with a beret. Either way, you’ll look tres chic.

Inspiration: John Lennon. Well known for his extensive songwriting talents, John also exhibited quite the personality. When it came to his public image, he was the “madlad” in the Beatles with his mischievous replies and notorious antics. (Madlad: Liverpudlian slang for an exuberant, high-spirited youth.)
