I copped an orange ALIFE 'Bubble' tee
on the Commonwealth site, about a
month or so ago, and need some help
finding a hat to compliment it.

Here's the tee:

I own an immaculate pair of old Bass
matching canvas shoes I used to rock
in the early 90s... these were immensely
popular among the "Native Tongues" type
Hip Hop crowd here in Jersey).

Here's a photo of a pair by Sperry,
the ones with the laces (just picture
them in a subtle orange w/ brown
leather shoe laces):

I was think of coppin a blue 3sixteen
5-panel 'Houndstooth' cap to rock
with the ensemble:

The blue in the hat would match the
blue ALIFE bubble logo of the t-shirt,
however, it would not be too overstated
or "matchy-matchy" (as you guys like
to say) considering there's no orange on
the cap, just white, which is fairly neutral
and wouldn't ruin the continuity of the
entire outfit.

If y'all have any other suggestions, I'd be
interested to hear them.

that link is jacked up, it took me to wikipedia...

but if i recall, isnt the orange blank alife used almost like a hunter orange deal? really bright?

you could try that upper playground new era with the allover walrus design, it looks a little loud for my taste, but may match the shirt...

i think the 3sixteen would be better, those are nice looking hats.

would the peach-ish and blue Diamond Supply/EstateLA gingham joint match it, or is the shirt too bright?

and even though i cant see a pic, props on the Bass', i have had many pairs of those in my day. i wear some sperry's nowadays also.

I'm sorry about that, bro... try the links now.

Yeah, I thought about the UP 'Walrus' but it
is a bit loud. Yeah, I found those BASS shoes
in my folks attic when I was up there rummaging
around for some vintage shit.

ummm...i have that shirt and if you really wanna match with that buy a pair of supas, im in the market for a pair now. i now im probably not gonna get them but i will settle for reverse supas and hat wise im not really into matching hats with shirts really just making sure they flow or whatever.
