Promotional clothing gave industrial companies a practical way to keep their names visible with dealers, installers, and customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company name is large enough to read across the cuff, while the repeated red and black logo graphics carry the advertising around the crown. That makes this useful for a collector who focuses on industrial advertising, petroleum memorabilia, water system history, or vintage company workwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company identification is knitted into the hat rather than added as a separate patch. The matching crown graphics and oversized two color pom pom give this piece a distinctly late 1970s to 1980s promotional look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bright graphics do most of the talking here, while the scattered fuzzies leave the honest signs of an older knit hat that has been handled and stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping + Trust (Reading Vintage standards)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/myreadingvintage.com\/pages\/shipping-policy\"\u003ePhoto-verified condition\u003c\/a\u003e, no surprises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked with care.
