Two things happened on Wednesday that had nothing whatsoever to do with each other, and both of them earned a hat.
Cleveland's mounted unit got two very small horses
The Cleveland police mounted unit took delivery of two miniature horses this week, bought with help from the city's police foundation. They are not patrol animals. Their entire job is to turn up in neighbourhoods and be met by children, and the foundation reckons they are going to be very good at it.
We put one on a cap and deliberately left the lettering off. The Wood Horse Trucker Hat is a cherry hardwood silhouette die-cut to the animal's own outline — no border, no name — so it reads as a horse first and a news story second. That was on purpose: you should be able to wear it because you like horses.

Kansas City got a hot dog into a bun
The same afternoon, a Kansas City ballpark crowd passed a giant inflatable hot dog hand over hand around the stands and, after several near misses, dropped it neatly into a matching inflatable bun. Several thousand people, one shared objective, no practical purpose at all.
An afternoon like that deserves a proper nameplate. The Leather Banner Trucker Hat is a dark brown tooled leather scroll with rolled ends and swallowtail notches, KANSAS CITY debossed into the hide, sized wide at about 3.75 inches so it sits across the front panel the way a banner patch should.
