** EDITOR’S NOTE: Though we generally shun FLEX-FIT caps as the unholy union between Fitteds and Adjustables, there comes a time where partisan politics must be put aside for the greater good. Fear not, we will remain commited to our core philosophy of, “The fitted, the whole fitted and nothing but the fitted”. Occasionally we at STRICTLY FITTEDS will make an exception, under meritus circumstances. After several bloodied noses a vigorous debate, it was decided that this article should run. We encourage purists, small children and the generally disgruntled to avoid this post all together. KOOMBYEYA **
