@Giles what is this piece of perfection? I have been on the hunt for the perfect Jeep Cap. I literally just settled on one yesterday.

Just a cheapy I got off Amazon. It’s 100% wool which I wanted. £12.

Just picked up this Montane Gore-Tex cap as the my Carhartt equivalent is fucked and, not waterproof as I experienced this morning

A fun little Wabash flat cap arrived today. Never been able to pull this vibe off. Maybe the moustache will help.

Hat and stache combo looks good on you

Not sure if the reference will translate outside the US but Roy Underhill would agree

Hovering on the buy button on one of these weird keepsake hats from William Ellery. I think you are supposed to use the mesh panel to stick feathers and flowers or whatever you come across on your journey. Kind of cool, mostly ridiculous.

@GraemeE What a legend!

[Giles]

Details soon.......Iron Heart chambray and a Turks Head woggle made from some fishing assist cord I had lying around....

[motojobobo]

Awesome woggle!!

[Giles]

Thank you. It's th first time I have tried to make a Turks Head. I have a feeling they may start appearing on random stuff all over the place.

@deanclean Saw your post and ended up buying one of the MF denim caps. Just got it and it fits great. Hits the sweet spot in regards to the profile (not too high and not too low). I ended up removing the label as I prefer just a plain cap. Thanks for posting this as I didn't know about it.

[deanclean]

Glad you like it @Nobunaga i love the height as well. I was toying with removing the label also.

Found out about this brand from Naked and Famous. Made in Canada from 100% merino. It really surprised me how stretchy it is with zero acrylic. Very nice.

Wife got me a turquoise feather for my hats. I dig it!

Michael Cerny in Germany makes Newsboy Caps out of deerskin from Gerberei Kolesch, who also supply the hides for the Big Buck shirts. I haven't handled one, but they look lovely.

@Graeme Nice!

(Would make a good gift for my father)

[Graeme]

@JunkPants Attractions make a similar horsehide leather cap with a similar design under their Biltbuck label. It might be another option for an extravagant gift.

I've got one, although mine is more of a dark brown verging on black. It's beautifully made. I haven't worn it too much recently, as it gets a bit sweaty in the summer.

[JunkPants]

@Graeme That looks very nice as well. Thank you for bringing these to my attention.

[Graeme]

@JunkPants glad to help, we're all enablers here.

[Mizmazzle]

@Graeme those are quite nice! My brother in law loves that style of hat…shoot, I’m really liking it myself.

CFD denim cap came today. Very cool. I love how it's almost slightly off center. You can tell someone made it. Not just a machine. The stitching in the bill is amazing and the cone denim is spot on. Took about 4 weeks to be ordered and delivered at a fair price. Now to put a patch on it as planned?
