PRODUCT
What is The Original Squatchee™?
The Original Squatchee™ is a patented adhesive hat hook designed specifically for baseball caps. Unlike ordinary wall hooks or storage solutions, its unique curved design creates a clean, front-facing display that keeps your hats visible, organized, and easy to access without nails or tools.
Is The Original Squatchee™ patented?
Yes. The Original Squatchee™ features a patented design created specifically for displaying baseball caps in a clean, front-facing arrangement. Our patent reflects the unique design and innovation behind the original adhesive hat hook for baseball caps.
What types of hats work with The Original Squatchee™?
The Original Squatchee™ is designed specifically for baseball caps, including fitted hats, snapbacks, trucker hats, dad hats, flat-brim caps, and adjustable ball caps. Its patented curved design creates a clean, front-facing display that keeps your favorite hats visible, organized, and easy to access. It may also work with other hats that feature a similar crown shape and top button.
Why is The Original Squatchee™ different from other hat hooks?
Unlike generic wall hooks, The Original Squatchee™ was designed specifically for baseball caps. Its patented curved design supports the hat by the top button, creating a clean, front-facing display that showcases the logos, colors, and details that make every cap unique.
Why is The Original Squatchee™ curved?
The patented curved design follows the natural shape of a baseball cap, allowing it to hang securely while creating a clean, front-facing display. The curve also helps keep the hook discreetly hidden behind the hat.
INSTALLATION
How do I install The Original Squatchee™?
Simply peel the protective backing from the premium foam tape adhesive, press the hook firmly onto a clean, properly prepared surface, and allow the adhesive to bond according to the included instructions. Once fully bonded, hang your baseball cap and adjust it until the front faces straight.
What surfaces work best?
The Original Squatchee™ works best on clean, smooth, properly finished surfaces such as painted drywall, finished wood, metal, glass, tile, and many laminate surfaces. Always clean and prepare the surface before installation for the strongest bond.
Can I install The Original Squatchee™ on textured walls?
Light texture may work, but smooth, properly prepared surfaces provide the best bond. Highly textured surfaces may reduce adhesive performance.
Can I install The Original Squatchee™ on brick?
Because brick is porous and uneven, it is not recommended for the best long-term adhesive performance.
Can I install The Original Squatchee™ on wallpaper?
Results vary depending on the type and condition of the wallpaper. Because wallpaper adhesion can vary, we recommend testing an inconspicuous area first.
Can I install The Original Squatchee™ on wood?
Yes. The Original Squatchee™ works well on smooth, finished wood surfaces that are clean and properly prepared.
Can I install The Original Squatchee™ on metal?
Yes. Clean, smooth metal surfaces provide excellent adhesion when properly prepared before installation.
Can I install The Original Squatchee™ on glass?
Yes. Glass is one of the ideal installation surfaces when thoroughly cleaned before applying the hook.
How long should I wait before hanging my hat?
Follow the included installation instructions and allow the premium foam tape adhesive to fully bond before displaying your baseball cap.
REMOVAL & REUSE
Will The Original Squatchee™ damage my walls?
The Original Squatchee™ uses a strong foam tape adhesive designed to hold the hook securely in place. Because surfaces, finishes, and paint conditions vary, results can also vary. Follow the recommended removal instructions, including gently warming the adhesive with a hair dryer and slowly peeling it away from the surface.
Can I remove my Squatchee™ hooks?
Yes. Carefully warm the adhesive with a hair dryer before slowly peeling the hook away from the wall. Following the recommended removal method helps minimize the chance of surface damage.
Can I reuse my Squatchee™ hooks?
Yes. The hook itself is reusable, but the premium foam tape adhesive is designed for one installation. To relocate or reinstall a hook, simply apply a genuine Squatchee™ Replacement Adhesive.
Do you sell Replacement Adhesives?
Yes. Genuine Squatchee™ Replacement Adhesives are sold separately, making it easy to relocate or reinstall your reusable hooks without replacing the hooks themselves.
How long does the adhesive last?
When installed on a properly prepared surface and used according to the instructions, the premium foam tape adhesive is designed to provide a long-lasting hold.
BUILDING YOUR HAT WALL
How many Squatchee™ hooks do I need?
Most baseball caps need one Squatchee™ hook. Pick the bundle that matches your wall: Starter (8 hooks), Great Value (16), Most Popular (24), or Best Value (32+). Bundle savings apply automatically, and you can always expand later.
Can I expand my hat wall later?
Absolutely. Start with the bundle that fits today—Starter, Great Value, Most Popular, or Best Value—and add more Squatchees™ whenever your collection grows.
Can I mix Black and White Squatchees™?
Yes. Both colors feature the same patented design and perform exactly the same. Choose the color—or combination of colors—that best complements your space and style.
How much space should I leave between hats?
Spacing depends on the look you're trying to achieve and the size of your hats. Leave enough room so each baseball cap hangs naturally without overlapping neighboring hats.
Are the hooks visible behind the hat?
No. The Original Squatchee™ was designed to remain discreetly hidden behind most baseball caps, helping create a clean, floating appearance.
Can I use more than one Squatchee™ for a single hat?
Most baseball caps only require one Squatchee™. However, some customers choose to use additional hooks for creative display layouts or specialty applications.
Why should I display my hats instead of storing them?
Displaying your baseball caps keeps your collection organized, easy to access, and ready to enjoy every day. Instead of hiding your favorite hats in boxes, bins, or closets, The Original Squatchee™ turns them into part of your space while showcasing the logos, colors, and memories that make each cap unique.
