Remember, the bottle opener is on the cap. The thing on your forehead that looks like a bottle opener is just a tan.

Cool idea but if you don't like hats then you need a BeerClip. Money Clip and Bottle Opener. Get yours at http://www.beerclip.com

Hi Jim, First of all, not taking/stealing anything away from your awesome, patented idea. Secondly, people are clearly looking for your solution and you are doing an awful job of giving people a way to get in contact with you to resell your patented hat. Until April 26, there was no way whatsoever for us to contact you. Thanks for finally putting your contact info on the site.

Jim | Apr 26, 2007 9:56 PM
It's been a long time since I looked at this sight. We just signed some large retailers and you should be able to purchase the cap this spring anywhere in the US. If you want to see a really lousey website but it has the cap. Check out www.getthetopoff.com

Who sales these hats as blanks? I have a customer who is interested in purchasing them blank.

Jim | Apr 26, 2007 9:56 PM
Pat@vpop.net is a Jack Ass Thief. This is the reason we have patents to stop people from stealing ideas. But then again if you can't think on your own just steal the idea. On a more positive note I now have three patents on this idea and my website is running with current styles. www.getthetopoff.com

Hi Paul Dindo, Drop me an email when you have a moment regarding just getting the opener for your hats. pat@vpop.net

Paul Dindo | Mar 7, 2007 7:10 PM
Where can I find just the opener so I can add it to my hats? Thank you.

I love this idea. great stuff. Found a really cool site where these South African guys seem to be on the money. www.crack-a-cap.com

Jack | Feb 17, 2007 2:53 PM
I understand that you take the hat off to open the bottle, but the leverage required to open the bottle will seriously distort the bill of the hat...at least that is how it looks. Jim, do I have that wrong?

Mauricio Martinez | Feb 6, 2007 3:11 PM

Frank | Jan 26, 2007 5:48 AM

i actually think this could work!

Andy | Jul 1, 2005 12:23 AM
That's silly, how could you possibly get the leverage you needed? You'd just pull off your cap!

Morgan Blanchard | Jun 21, 2005 11:12 AM
Very interesting web site!

Mike Garrett | Jun 6, 2005 11:41 PM
Much more classy than the two can drunk hat. There is actually a model with a corkscrew...and a pair of scissors, fish scaler,toothpick, magnifying glass, two blades, tweezers, and an awl. Yes folks, it's the SWISS ARMY HAT!

tiny | Jun 2, 2005 1:53 PM
Where's the corkscrew hat?
