What: Limited-edition hat
Where: Online at stetson.com

Appropriately dubbed the “Raygular” Edition, each hat in the classic silverbelly color features a “Raygular” pin that will earn you a free beer and a shot every time you wear it to their bar. For the two friends and business partners, the inspiration was wholesome: “Just our love of hats,” Quirarte tells ELLE.com, before cheekily adding, “But also the idea that, if Justin were actually his character from Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, this is the hat he would wear.” Consider this your Post-it note reminder to grab this exclusive drop before it’s gone.
