Molotov cocktails are one of the most notorious weapons used by rioters and rebel groups in street clashes.  Molotovs represent the collective passion of individuals who fight for what they believe in no matter the oppression and do it with some DIY ethos.  This much anticipated new One-Time Drop from Official® is a continuation of The Ballistics Series. Cordura® ballistic nylon is utilized with true “rebel” red embroidery.  The back of the hat hosts the Molotovs “M” logo. A red sandwich bill contrasts with a powerful black and white photo print undervisor. There is also a Cordura black and bright green colorway.  The print is an overturned police car engulfed in flames fueled by the delivery of a molotov cocktail.
