Join or Die (Ben Franklin) Flag Patch Trucker Hat

A Join or Die Flag Patch trucker style baseball hat! This mesh back black hat has an embroidered historical Flag patch and is Salt-Washed to create a weathered, heavily sun bleached look.
In 1754, Benjamin Franklin published one of the most famous cartoons during the colonial period. The Join or Die woodcut was published by Ben Franklin to unite the colonists against the French and their Native American allies, and to convince the British government to support a unified colonial government in America. The image was so persuasive that it took on a life of its own. A few years later, in the prelude to the Revolutionary War, colonists repurposed it as a symbol of their unity against British rule.
The high thread count embroidered flag patch creates a vintage look. Mesh is soft and bill has a natural bend. This hat is heavily faded making each hat uniquely different.
Adjustable plastic strap on back. Cotton & Nylon. Designed in the USA.
