Hats and Beanies

[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

@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.

@Oaktavia imho its a maximum of 10% fedora vibe from first impressions of the shape

@Oaktavia People often interpret ‘fedora’ the wrong way. Based on the crown, this is a classic fedora. But the wide, flat brim that accompanies that crown is far more stylish than the super short brim fedoras that are often associated with lame douche bags. This hat is sick and you shouldn’t let the fact that it’s a fedora stop you.

Thank you for the response dude that helps a lot!

@Oaktavia if you don’t get the hat then I will!
