It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane… It’s Bullet in a PAi INC. Cap

Everyone has their favorite something, right? Whether it's your favorite pair of jeans, worn out tennis shoes or that old, seen-better-days t-shirt you have from the championship football game your senior year? Whatever it may be, it's only human to have that something you never leave the house without.

Well, a certain little furry friend of ours made a statement that his owner is not the only one with a favorite. This 3 year-old chihuahua, named Bullet, proved that it's not just humans that have their favorites.

Now, you might be asking yourself... Sure, he is super adorable, but why in the world is PAi so enthralled with this little guy other than his cute face? Well, it actually just so happens that Bullet's borrowed headwear comes from none other than PAi's very own stomping grounds. Bullet's owner bought a Realtree cap from the Tractor Supply Store that was designed and manufactured at PAi. The cap instantly became the gentleman's favorite and soon became Bullet's favorite too! From the word's of his wife that submitted this photo to paifashion.com, "My husband loves anything camo, and when he got this hat it became his fav. because he said it's extremely comfortable and a perfect fit for his head."

PAi is dedicated to providing quality to our customers and brands; which is why we are not at all surprised to see this a cap like this, a frequent wear of choice for Bullet and his owner. With over 80 years of experience in making apparel, we figured we might have some influence on those "favorites" out there.

We would love to know what PAi cap is your favorite or good luck charm wear! You can submit your photos to info@paifashion.com or join us on Facebook and upload your photos there!

Happy Wearing!
