@endo I love the roll neck. Can you tell me the brand please?
-
@IrishHeart it's a "Royal Navy 1941 Submariner - ecru" by Aero Leathers, mine in size L (whereas I wear XL/XXL in IH shirts and jackets). IMO a simple (not dense weave) but warm and well fitting pure wool turtleneck in a heritage style. There may be better ones, but this comes for a very good price.

@endo thanks for the info. Just checked the link. It looks great in olive and navy too.

@jordanscollected how do you like that hat? How’s the fit? I have a big head so it’s hard ordering hats online

@WhiskeySandwich solid fit man, and your beard is coming in real nice.

@Choko I like it a lot now that I've given it a couple wears. It is waxed pretty firm and has a nice smooth crackle feel to it. The snapback part is a bit lacking, but maybe it just feels "basic" because the rest of the construction is monstrous.
It has a deep crown and the tip sticks up a bit high & pointy for my liking, like a classic 70's high crown trucker hat. but since it waxed, it has a bit of mold-ability and I'm good with how it sits now. There is wax blotching and irregularity in the fabric which i personally love.
The biggest issue i have with waxed caps is the lack of breathability in the summer especially. my filson 14oz tin cloth gets to hot to wear on warm days, but the A New Medium Cap seems to be a slightly lighter base fabric, maybe 10-12oz or so.
The sweatband seems to be well made too and and is very comfortable
Regarding the fit, I wear a 7-1/4 or 7-3/8 and i wear this snapped with all holes filled (how the hell do i describe this?)or one open hole. When worn where i like a hat to sit, the top button is floating above my head, not resting on it.
