IHC-06 - 21oz Indigo Denim Cap

[Brock]

@Aetas thanks Dirk. I like that you’re keeping this thread alive! ….winter is coming in the ole PNW!

Getting the hat dirty today!

[Brock]

Wow I have aged quite a bit! Thanks for pointing that out

[Tago Mago]

@Brock if you shave you’ll look barely a day older. Not that I’m advocating for a shave

[Brock]

Well I found the other IHC..

[Mizmazzle]

@Brock love how the leather straps have aged on yours! Have you conditioned them at all?

[Brock]

I hit them both with obenaufs right before these pics. They were getting rather crusty

[Aetas]

Beautiful pictures @Mizmazzle

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas the hat really does all the work!

[Brock]

@Mizmazzle
How did you find one of these in such mint condition? Or have you been sitting on it for a while?

[Mizmazzle]

@Brock it was a miraculous act of kindness from @ROman who answered a WTB post I made.

[Brock]

That’s what makes this forum the place that it is!

[Mizmazzle]

@Brock yeah man. Kindest group of denim nerds around!!

I have officially joined the IHC-06 club! Thank you @ROman for responding to my WTB! Giles happened to be in NC visiting Sam at the time of the message. There was a small tear on the cap and Giles offered to bring it back to Gosport so that Lynne could repair it for me. We chose a visible repair and Lynne created a little selvedge mountain made from a 9oz flannel fabric they had in the shop. So stoked on this one y'all!
