This lacks beer can holders.
Reading fail:
"The hat also features brackets larger than those found on traditional foam dome-style hats, which are capable of securely holding 24-ounce “tallboy” cans of beer."

“Tequila,” “Popcorn,” and Sisqo’s “The Thong Song”
This hat has an awesome playlist. This is an R-rated PeeWee's Playhouse caliber hat.

The base hat shape should be 'wedge of cheese.'

I agree with most of this hat's features in their jerk-specificity; however, The Thong Song is a masterpiece that speaks to all of mankind.

The final word in haberdashery, as applied to this hat, is "no."*
*Or "no, thank you," assuming that you are a) polite and b) not too hung up on the singular number of "word."

This stupid hat is stupid and wrong. Look, we all know hat technology is 50 years behind naval technology. It's time to move forward. The age of battleships has passed and so must the age of single stupid hats. Stupids of the future need to think along one of two naval inspired lines:
1) Stealth stupidity - You don't see this stupid coming. The hat hides, possibly beneath a toupee or bad haircut (see: Trump), and then rises up from the depths of stupidity to ICBM you right in the jerkface. The range of the hat is practically unlimited - people miles away will feel the power of your stupid.
2) Farce Multiplier - A squadron of jets on an air craft carrier can allow one vessel to dominate an entire region. Similarly, a squadron of satellite stupidity based around a core hat would allow total stupid dominance. Picture a stupid hat. Now picture that hat on Honey Boo Boo's mom. Now give the entire family smaller, matching hats. You have just occupied the Persian Gulf of stupidity.
Admittedly, these are expensive options and require a deep commitment to jerkpid stupwaddery. For developing idiots who might not have the dim resources to construct a fleet of these hats, consider the smaller, bespoke skiff hats constructed out of found newspaper or campaign mailers. Like the Somali pirates from which these hats take their inspiration, the wearer can stupid up, don the hat, and deploy targeted jerkdom by lowering their head and charging full bore at the target. Then before any retaliation is possible, simply discard the hat and fade into the local background noise of ambient dumbness.
It's a new world of stupid hats out there and that's before we even get to the Dreamland of fedoras and other long range douchebombers.

This is a sentence of rare, stark beauty, and deserves some kind of an award. Just what that award would be, and what form it would take, is something I've been pondering.

I too predict it would sell like hotcakes; to both people who would wear it unironically and those who'd wear it as some sort of artistic meta-statement.

Nigel Tufnel, on being asked what he would do if he weren't a rock star: "A salesman, like maybe in a, uh, haberdasher, or maybe like a, uh, um... a chapeau shop or something. You know, like, 'Would you... what size do you wear, sir?' And then you answer me."
See, Nigel knows the fine distinction between a haberdasher and a seller of hats. Let us all aspire to be more like Nigel.
