IHC-14 - Brown and Navy Blue Cotton Duck Cap

[Giles]

@Qinhan:

I'm intrigued to see how much of a curve you can get.

Damn, wish I was asked that question more often…

[Qinhan]

^ Uh, I'm afraid I don't get the joke.  ???

Anyone pick up one of these yet? I'm thinking black but I'd like to see some fit pics.

[Giles]

Sort of like this without the stripes…...

One makeshift method of shaping the bill when its not on your head.  I took it off my head holding the bill how I wanted it to stay and placed it on the table resting as similarly as possible.  These containers have pastels in them so they are weighted.

[Qinhan]

Thanks for the photos Adam.  And now the bill of the cap holds the curved shape without the weights?

[Guest]

The bill relaxes if I take the containers away, but its still curved enough to get it back as soon as I put it on, and gradually the resting curve gets better and better, this one is still pretty new.  The time it takes to train the fabric is a small price to pay for such a comfortable cap.

[Qinhan]

Mmm, ok.  Something to think about.  Thanks for your answers, Adam.

you own two of these adam, right?
how's the older one looking?…

[Guest]

^^in need of a wash, but glorious, the curve holds its shape like well worn knee-combs.

Note to all: If you enjoy wearing caps, do not let something trivial like bill-curve diameter cloud your mind, these things will do whatever you need them to do, after they are done being stubborn, of course. but that is the fun of raw clothing.

I really want a black one of these but I keep going back and forth on sizing (i'm right at 22.5" head size). Anyone wear these hats on the smallest setting? I'm wondering how much material bunches up on the smallest setting.

and if the leather strap really should stuck out too much for you, you can cut it with a scissors…

@adam313:

I wear between a 7 & 7 1/8 fitted cap.  Not much bunching at all on mine, and any bunching you get will just provide a crease where EVO can happen, which is awesome if you ask me.

Thanks for the picture. I'm sold.

Only 4 people ordered one? I stacked one and cant wait to wear it!

[Jordan23]

I will purchase both!!!!

Good idea!!! To make a decision was pretty hard, but I stacked the black.

I received my black this week. Still getting used to soft bill but it is a great hat. Love the black duck.

[veloaudio]

Finn, I'm on the low end of G's measurement range (22.5") and here is what the back of mine looks like:
