If you booted up Windows XP between 2001 and 2006, you saw this butterfly. Seven colors. Perched at the top-left of your screen. Your gateway to MSN Explorer, Hotmail, MSN Messenger, MSN.com, and the early-2000s idea of what “the internet” should feel like: bright, friendly, and slightly cartoonish This vintage-style dad hat features the iconic MSN Explorer 6.0 butterfly from the Windows XP era, reimagined in embroidery on premium cotton twill. This is the version everyone remembers from the early-2000s desktop. Choose the Windows Blue colorway for the full 7-color butterfly effect. A visual tone that carried across a decade, from 2000 to 2010. The butterfly is embroidered on a premium Otto Cap blank with a subtle cotton twill texture that elevates the classic dad hat feel. Soft crown, Velcro® closure, and that unstructured everyday fit you still spot around Silver Lake on people who definitely had a Messenger screen name like xX_Music4Life_Xx. Choose Windows Blue for full 7-color nostalgia. Choose Home PC Beige if you want people to lean in closer and ask, "Wait, is that MSN?" Put it on and it’s instantly 2001: Messenger is open. Your status says (Away) even though you're right there or go (Invisible). Either way go send a Nudge when your favorite friend/ crush signs in. Your display name is half Dashboard Confessional lyric, half cryptic mood message. Status: online.
