During a recent trip to Germany, I bought a Russian military hat from one of the old checkpoints between East and West Berlin. Even though the hat is a bit unusual, I really dig the way it looks. To me, it has a timeless quality, plus the small bill is great for bike rides. I’ve dubbed it my “Checkpoint Charlie hat” and you can see some pictures of it here.
I showed the hat to my friend Rachel, from SCOW, and she has created an Instructable on how to make your own Checkpoint Charlie hat.

I’ll be trying to make my own CC hats sometime soon using Rachel’s directions, but I’m hoping she’ll add the patterns soon.
update: the patterns have been added.
