I got this hat specifically to have a hat that would take a patch on the front (an iron on patch) and it worked well for that. The only thing I would change (other than my slightly crooked but not bad application of the patch) is the bill. The bill seems a little small compared to the bill on other hats. After all the purpose of a hat is to keep the sun out of your eyes. (well, that's my purpose since the visors on the spider 124 are pitiful.) If it had a bigger/wider bill it would be 5 stars, In any case the fact that it does not have s sean down the middle of the front like most hats makes it well suited for application of a patch.
