@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.

@SamD dude, everything always looks like it was made to fit you perfectly. I'll bet you're never "in between sizes" are ya?! LOL
-
@WhiskeySandwich Ha, I'll take that as a compliment! If I'm being honest though, the L sample for this one is probably a little big for me - looking forward to trying a medium when they drop, should be perfect

@flannel-slut thanks man. Lots of teeth-gnashing on the fit but I’m happy for sure the more I wear it

I feel like with a vest like this it would be more likely you’d get used to slightly loose over slightly tight. Tight if it were strictly an under layer which for riding purposes would be preferable, but for casual wear, you chose well. Too snug for casual wear would bunch too much when you’re sitting I think.

@Tobi looks absolutely fantastic! Would love to invest in one, when the time/opportunity comes around… heirloom quality!

@flannel-slut hey brother! What do you think of those Dehen beanies? I’ve got their cardigan. Wondering if the wool is anything as thick and tough in the beanie.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
