[Snowy]

major difference in 1.25 years, go my head!

Looks great with evo on it. @Snowy
Strongly thinking about picking one of these up for summer.

[spitfiredealer]

So my hat arrived today.
This is a size medium. A little tighter than I expected. Should I expect a little stretch?

[Finkster]

Choo-Choo ^^

Yep … a little stretch wouldn't be wrong

[spitfiredealer]

haha yeah that is a choo choo pose.

Sweet with a little bit of stretch this will perfect

[Snowy]

nice one @spitfiredealer. Give it lots of love and it'll go a long way!

[spitfiredealer]

thanks @Snowy

looking forward to getting some evo on it

[spitfiredealer]

Love this hat

[jadechacko]

Hmmm….do these hats shrink or stretch?  I am at the very edge of just fitting into my IHC 14 & 15 hats, even though my melon head only measure out to around 60 mm.  Should I go with a medium or large in these eng. hats? Thoughts?  Cheers.

[Snowy]

I can say they don't shrink much @jadechacko, if anything there's the smallest bit of stretch in them (IHC-10 that is).

Great IHC @hajduk
Guess now it’s time for @Oaktavia to tell a new story in here …

@Oaktavia said in Heroes (Buying/ Selling/Trading):

@hajduk is good people. You rock, my friend! Thank you Pierre!!!

[Oaktavia]

@Aetas thanks! I will start posting here. I am getting a couple of tattoos on my head today so I won't be able to wear it for a week or so. Any other Work Caps out there in the wild?

[Oaktavia]

Are these 12oz hickory?

[Aetas]

@Oaktavia (Edit)
IH had a few with different appearance and weight:
*9.5oz (IHSH-123))
*10.5oz (708)
*12oz (IHSH-91, …):

or
*17oz (IHG-059, 822, …)

But for me, timeline and pictures speak for the
12oz of the IHSH-148, because the indigo stripe is a tad wider than the white one here:

Cap for comparison:

@Giles ?

[Oaktavia]

@Aetas awesome detective work. Man I would love some 17oz hickory, or an even heavier version. I think you are correct though, 12oz seems to be the one for the cap.

[hajduk]

@Oaktavia
The cap is 12oz i think.
I own the IH-802. Hickory logger pants. 17oz.
Definitely heavier hickory fabric than the one used for this cap.

[sabergirl]

It’s my the 91 12oz—that is a distinctly different pattern. It’s like the 107 I think.

[Aetas]

@sabergirl
Think you nailed it. Edited my above post.

[sabergirl]

I don’t know, @Aetas the 148 came out with a new 12oz (from the forum thread) in 2016. These caps got made in 2012. I still think it’s a batch of 07 fabric. I love your spirit of sleuthing! ️‍️
