Independent apparel brand, RichWierdo, strives to be different with their latest "Evrythng Else Is Rglr" snapback cap. This is a solid, six panel cap made in cotton twill with plastic backstrap. Upon close inspection you will notice the spelling is a bit odd, in a block letter font. The visor is decked out in a full-color sublimation print of a nice tropical scene and RichWeirdo's icon embroidered on the back. This piece retails for $40 at Arth stores plus directly through RichWierdo's online site, which also offers red or black crowns. Enjoy the summer, have fun and be different, cause everything else is regular!
