Anyone have recommendations for a denim ball cap with a curved brim? Also, just brands in general you like for ball caps. I have a big head and like hats with a structured high crown. I also love a flexfit. The filson tin cloth mesh logger fits just about perfect. New ear hats I'm between 7 3/4 and 8.

@wjw you could try Ciano Farmer. He’s making denim caps out of cone mills denim and also using hickory stripe, Wabash, and different weights and colors of canvas.

@jordanscollected those hats look sweet. I'm going to reach out to them and see if any of their hats go bigger than 24" for my big noggin. Thanks for the recommendation

@wjw said in Hats and Beanies:

@endo hey, Idk how to link other posts but @jordanscollected posted about Recapitate Headwear and it looks like the kind of hat you were looking for

I got in touch with Todd—very helpful guy. Ordered this one:

I only just found out that he also made the hat for Kevin Costner in 'Horizon'.

@endo Looking forward to when you get this and hearing how you like it. How long is the wait time? He makes some cool looking hats!

[endo]

@Denman-John I ordered it about four weeks ago, and now it’s already on its way to Baltimore, where it will be waiting for me.

[Denman John]

@endo I checked out his website again and he makes some incredible looking hats. This one caught my eye … https://www.recapitateheadwear.com/style-library/free-will
Edit: just read that he doesn’t ship outside the US

[endo]

@Denman-John Yeah, that one's really cool too. If you're interested, you can solve the shipping problem using MyUS or a similar service.

@Denman-John that is a unique style hat. In one of his interviews he said he jumped into a pool one night at a party and his hat got all misshapen and wonky… and he said it opened his eyes to how he actually wanted his hat to look. It inspired him to start making interesting designs.

I got the Black Goose. And while it looks like a cattleman’s crease western with a straight brim, the slight wave and brown aging make it really stand apart.

Anyone got experience with Borsalino?

[Denman John]

@jordanscollected @endo Thanks for turning me onto Recapitate Headwear and putting it on my radar. I probably won’t order one until the new year as I have to dial in my hiking gear a bit more before going to Nepal. He’s making some really nice hats and there are a few I would be happy to wear. In the meantime I’ll live vicariously through you guys.

@Denimhead-0 this look decent Jay, I’ve got a couple of ball caps but they never seem to look right on me! Love a beanie tho

You can’t buy one of these. You have to earn it by setting a class record at Bonneville over 300 MPH. They’re awarded by the SCTA. This one belongs to my friend, SFMC brother and SCTA member Jim Hoogerhyde. He fast.
He’s also forgetful. I found it in my kitchen after he and his wife left my house this evening. I’ll keep it safe for him - and no, I won’t try it on. Stollen valor ain’t my thing.

Rising summer temperatures, falling hair count. No wonder I have been wearing this cap more and more the last 20 years.

Does this look like a fedora to you? I didn’t think so, it it is described as one in the description. It’s the only thing stopping me from buying one. I just don’t feel nostalgic in any way to the early 2000s guido fedora fad.
