Hahah…

Side note…wish the SJ hats had a leather adjustment strap instead of the plastic adjuster.

@Mizmazzle funny you would say that because I'm considering canabalizing one of the straps and brass mechanisms off an ebbets hat I rarely wear

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE that sounds like a nice upgrade

[popvulture]

@GraemeE blame away! I dislike the field of villainous charlatans more than most, haha

Also that origin story for trucker hats is true afaik

[Danimal506]

Since we’re (sort of) on the topic of the origin of the SJ hat profile/fit. I just saw this on their instagram

[Mizmazzle]

My hats landed today. Really nice…might prefer the broken twill one at first look. Gonna start with that one and give it a soak tomorrow.

I love the fits of the Ship John caps. They fit my big noggin.

Anyone going to try and get the new Langlitz Wills? I think the preorder is dropping today.

[Mizmazzle]

@atm23 that’s a badass silhouette for a leather jacket.

Received the sashiko hat yesterday. Looked awesome until I tried to wear it. Did a soak, then let it air dry... still feel kind of ridiculous with the height. Attempting another soak today followed by a round in the dryer.... will report back if that helped or I ruined the hat.

The hat looks awesome, but I agree the height is ridiculous looking on me. My son just busts out laughing when i put it on. I'll be selling or returning.

Got mine I like it’s

Am use to wearing these kinds of caps because I wear new era fitted cap.

Awesome cap

[atm23]

@bluemantra You have the Shashiko cap?

[goosehd]

@atm23 @bluemantra Please take it pm gentlemen.

Update: Well, good and bad news. Good news is the hat is undamaged from the dryer, and shows minimal fading. Bad news is that it still is extremely odd looking on me and sits very tall... ha I also have a giant noggin for reference here. So sadly for me, this one is a miss and I'll either be selling or using it while mowing the lawn to see if it gets better as it ages.

[Mizmazzle]

@Teejus option 2 just might get you to the sweet spot. Think the fabric relaxes once you give it some wear.

Just a gentle reminder that all buying and selling should be done in the marketplace. Whilst not specifically listing your items for sale here, a couple of you are very close...

Please respect the forum rules.

Thank you!

@Kasi

Was waiting to see if someone would mention this. All the New Era 59fifty fitted MLB hats are super high. I don't like it, but that's been the look of the MLB Authentic hats forever as far as I know.

[Kasi]

As I said if you don’t wear new era caps.
Basically won’t work for you.

This is how I want mine. I don’t wear tight small cap.
