Hats and Beanies

yes, both very nice!
thanks @chrisjohnnick and @jonesy4885 -
Regarding Stetson in Europe, it’s the same in the UK where retailers only seem to carry the flat caps and ball caps.
I wonder if it’s something to do with sales of fur legislations as some hats are made from felted fur. I would imagine these rules differ per country making it simpler to stick to wool/synthetic hats.

Well done…looks great!

Handmade by me with mérinos wool, natural indigo dyed by hand also from a local supplier, it keeps my head warm from our today's weather

Thanks @endo
I've just realized that i bought you a shirt (9oz ombré indigo/grey in size XL) on ebay last year, funny how the world is small.

Thank you @goosehd
I try my best to make all my stuff on my own, i do also all my leather gears (belts, wallet, bags…) and with help of a friend, i forge all my metal stuff also. -
Looks glorious ! I’d love to get one but I have zero clue how that sizing works, as I have not worn a fitted cap in decades

With the exception of this one that I have from them, which I picked up in a sample sale a few weeks back, None of the ones I have are fitted.
At the Sample Sale they were sadly pretty much all fitted. This was tagged a size medium but came up quite big. The only other fitted caps I have are the RMC A-3 mechanic caps in size 7 1/2 (which are a little bit snug but perfectly tolerable). Navy velvet wouldn’t have been close to my choice in a million years but actually really nice fabric in the flesh + the Mrs liked it and it was about £40.
Regarding the remaining Potens I have, they are all adjustable and I have seen a lot of the fabrics in both fitted and adjustable. My favourite is the olive fujinkabai canvas…... They are such nice hats so if you can find somewhere that will return them if you do not like, I would certainly recommend checking them out.
Olive canvas
Navy canvas (another one I was lucky enough to pick up from a sample sale) (soon to receive IH patch I feel)
Navy Chu-Zome iridescent nylon (the depth of it is a right fucker to photograph but certainly considering getting the olive one also).
Black (but looks more grey) chino cloth that posted earlier

@Cutlasshound was correct to give Poten so much love. Grabbed this beige cotton cap on eBay for a steal and it’s lovely. I always have a problem with crown height with caps. Ebbets are a little shallow, HW dog too deep. This Poten feels just right. Will likely get more.

@natehate Thanks mate, apologies did not see this before! It is by a chap called Tyler Stout. Think I paid about sixty dollars for it back in the day!

@jerkules Looks great mate!
Think I have a good 7 or 8 of the buggers now!
