My custom version...

I wanted something specific to the 986, but couldn't find anything I liked, especially iin a light colour.

I also liked the way one of the Cayenne hats looked, with the stylized silhouette.

So I PS'd the Boxster outline and had it added to one of the stock caps. At the same time I had "986" added to the side above the stock "Porsche" lettering.

Check out the photos

That's a nice one CM! I haven't seen that before. What's the back of the cap look like? Does it have a clip for adjustment?

Nice work on the hat design there, Norm. I have the same exact hat only in a black color scheme with Porsche inside the tiny brim area. The top is just plain black and it also has the Porsche text in the back corner without the "986" logo.

I like the idea of a plain hat (I mean, the 6-inch logo is just a little much for me) ... but mine seems almost too plain. Does someone on here have any advice to turn this photoshop dream into a reality?

You could try a RS Spyder hat with small lettering "Porsche" on the side.

dcporsche99, the raw material is the stock white cap:

The basic cap comes in black too, as described by 9eighty6. They have the adjustable strap and clip on the back.

It was relatively expensive getting just the one embroidered, but if there's some interest out there, I could look into a bulk embroidering...

I've always liked this porsche cap, not flashy but modern.

"I wish i could upload it but the attachments arent working on this site right now."

The hat im refering to is the Golf Cap in the link that Clickman posted.^^^
