DESCRIPTION
The homepage of honkerco.com had a large picture taking up most of the background above the fold of a guy wearing a nice new white t-shirt with Honker branding on it while standing next to a horse. Below the fold were Honker Club hats (baseball caps) for sale. When I scrolled back up, I noticed links at the very top of the homepage that made it clear that this was an e-commerce site for buying mostly hats and t-shirts, but there was also a link to “shop all” there as well. My first impression of the brand was that it was trying to appeal to people who lived rurally. The main background picture was taken on a farm and the pictures on the hats were of bulls with horns. There was also a Mexican edition Honker cap that had the Mexican flag colors printed under the hat’s brim. The t-shirt worn by the model in the background on the homepage wasn’t for sale on the t-shirt page. I also noticed the quality of the white t-shirt in the background image reminded me of a really nice thick cotton similar to a Pro Club heavyweight t-shirt. But the t-shirts on the actual t-shirt page didn’t seem like they were the same type of t-shirt, although I couldn’t assess that properly because I couldn’t zoom in far enough to check. This inability for me to zoom in could be innocent; it’s not easy to create the exact features you want on a website. When I downloaded the images so I could zoom in as much as possible on my own computer, it was still difficult for me to assess the quality of the t-shirts, not helped by them being black instead of white. If this were a rural brand, I would recommend they sell white t-shirts instead of black because rural locations are often warm, and white reflects the heat. White t-shirts would also be easier to assess the quality via the online store and may increase the chances of someone purchasing them.

Is honkerco.com Safe?
Here, I analyzed honkerco.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam:
I checked honkerco.com on Sucuri, and it returned as a low security risk.
I then ran a parasite scan with Unmask Parasites on honkerco.com, and it is suspicious.
Unmask Parasites cites 1 suspicious inline script:
(function e(e,n,a,t,r){var o="function"==typeof BigInt&&-1!==BigInt.toString().indexOf("[native code]")?"modern":"legacy"...
I also checked honkerco.com on VirusTotal, and it is clean.
URLVoid says honkerco.com passed all blocklist engines.
In conclusion, we graded honkerco.com no higher than relatively safe because of the suspicious inline script. OVERALL GRADE: Relatively Safe.

I have bought from the honkerco.com website and can confirm that it is a real company that ships the product. They need to show their Instagram account which has 26K followers to add trust. It is here: instagram.com/honker_co/.
I really liked my cap. The quality was what I had hoped.
Note: Hunter has linked to the honkerco.com Instagram account; however, until the site puts it on its website, I won't include it in the post as an official link. It does look to be an official link associated with the same website.
