I wear hats a lot on weekends and these look perfect to add I rotation. I’m a sucker for novel quotes on hats too. What’s the context of don’t trip? I take myself way to seriously to put that on but the others I think I can vibe with.

what’s the history with the store too btw? Why does the name sound familiar?

Free & Easy was the name of a Japanese menswear magazine. I don't know if they just licensed the name or if they're two different operations, but they use the same script.

Don't know if there's a story behind Don't Trip, other than it being a phrase.

Mac Miller wore the orange one at a Tiny Desk Concert performance.

I have mutual acquaintances in the local fashion scene with the F&E people - I heard from someone that the magazine hadn't trademarked the name or logo and these guys just started using it.

that sounds like a brand I’m dying to support. Tbh I find the “don’t trip” hat kinda cringey. it looks like something I’d find at a Bob Marley themed smoke shop.

Take it with a grain of salt - that's some extreme third hand gossip from what may have been a hater for all I know.

What I’m trying to get across is that for people who highly curate and intellectualize their outfits, wearing a hat that says “don’t trip” is corny in my opinion. If @dieworkear was my stoner cousin who was 27 and lived in his moms basement (listening to Mac Miller) id think it was more appropriate ??‍♂️
