Skaters and cyclops enthusiasts rejoice! The Sect Eye Mesh Cap from Toy Machine is here, and it is cool and creepy.

This hat will definitely help you stand out in a crowded room. I've seen a lot of hats in my time, and some of them have even had eyes; none of them, however, had [one eye](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear) like the Sect Eye Mesh Cap.

This cap is sure to attract a few sideways glances and stares on a crowded city street. That's the price you'll have to pay for being a fashion pioneer. One-eyed fashion will be huge in 2010--I'm calling it now.
