IHC-18 Iron Heart Snap Back Cap - Black

[profdbrk]

I dig this but I think I'm just too old in a way for this look.  I go to University in my Canadian tuxedo, in almost any IH look because I can–-old professors can get away with anything, really anything short of wearing your junk on the outside.  But this is a look that Cool Papa Bell would not get in a ball cap, which means it's looking cool on you guys but on me, not so much.  Wear on, gentlemen.

This is exciting. Ordered today. Any chance the Crew can spill the US manufacturer? Not sure the protocol on that, but as a baseball hat collector, I’ve very curious.

I pimp it…

Nicely pimped guys!

How is the sizing on these?  I know it's a "one size fits most" but I have a particularly large head (~7 5/8") so even adjustable hats rarely fit me well.  It's bad enough that my wife was the recipient of a Good Art cap that just didn't work for me.

I wear a 7.5 in most hats and this fits fine. However, I also fit in the Good Art hat.

X post with WAYWT I've got a pretty large head, and I still have 4 holes available on the snapback. It's a nice cap, but not £80 nice imo. Ebbetts are USA made, and £60. I guess the airmiles on the IHC 18 adds up to £££s

How do you rate Ebbetts? Filson has an Ebbetts cap with a felt wolf patch for $65. I kinda like it. I have 3 other Filson caps that I hardly wear though so it may just be a case of want versus need

The Ebbets hats, especially the repros, are in a league all their own…

@Streetwise:

Good lad.

Very sorry about the delay. Been too damn cold to wear it. I finally got around to curving my peak using the rubberband/empty wine bottle method:

I tried it on after a couple of hours. It started returning rather quickly, so I’ll leave it under tension for a couple of days. No visible distortion or other problems. Should be good.

Looking good, @neph93

Sweet. Ordered. What size snap to pimp with?

17mm.  But we are out.  However we could snap-cap it for you…..

I think the cap is already with UPS. The pimp is for a few weeks down the road. 17mm it is. But what is meant by “snap-capping”?

Thx

It's a snap that can be snapped on and off a male socket.  Looks the same, but can be swapped out…..

Giles, would you need the hat (item) in-hand to do that? Alternatively, if I buy one that’s in stock, can I install it myself? Thx

You could, but it does require special tooling…....

I’ll have to reverse-engineer the snap on my GA hat and see what’s needed. Thank you.
