I'm amazed I'm the only one to back a black hat so far. Knowing gamers and their taste in clothes, I thought that would be the only color anyone backed.

As far as I can tell, black is #3 after loden green and one of the khaki hats. I thought it would be #1, too!

Love the design but unfortunately I'm not much of a wearer of trucker hats.

Not surprised in the least that it is already funded.

Always great stuff, Ghul.

Yeah, I've got the original Hyperborea chapeau, and it suits me just fine. But glad the KS is going well.

Thanks, fellows!

Fair. I don't normally wear hats of any kind, but I actually could use something to keep sweat out of my eyes while weeding my infamous landscaping.

Plus I backed the hoodie despite the fact that I never wear hoodies (and have not in fact worn it).

Ahh, yes, the infamous no-lawn! ;)

C'mon BA, you can't not mention your lawn without at least showing some pics of how the japanese maple is doing. :-)

Five days left on the preorder, if anyone is interested!

Our new Xathoqqua logo hats for HYPERBOREA are in production! Check out this leather patch. These will be hand-sewn onto each hat. We ordered extra hats, which will be added to our web store once we get them in.

Very nice!

Ghul, could we just buy the leather patch?

Great looking patch! Is hand-sewing them going to be another task for your poor daughter?

I have the same question: I passed on the trucker hat (not a fan of the style), but would like a patch or two for affixing to my gaming backpack.

Yes, and she has to walk to the sewing shop and buy her own thread.

I'm checking into it and will let you guys know.

Is it at least uphill both ways to the sewing shop? :-)

See, I knew you were going to put your daughter to work doing something related to the hats:

C'est la vie for sure: that's the mild, indulgent upturned corner of "whatever Dad". I'd still count it a victory for Dad. Cheers!
