Yes, mine arrived today too, coincidently. It too is size 59, but there isn't a lot of difference in fit to my size 60. And no City Sport Brand... but exactly the same in every way in lining, donegal tweed lab, and brim and so on. It is also the smaller sized newsboy City Sport style, which what... -

I actually saw some photos of some latin blues musicians that were wearing red wool Zasus. It wasn't a bad look. Sometimes it is fun to have something outlandish, but not all the time. -

Holy smoke - a red corduroy cap from Zasu! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VINTAGE-1920s-1930s-STYLE-NEWSBOY-CAP-HAT-ZASU-CAPS-size-7-3-8-59cm-/251024491848?pt=US_Hats&hash=item3a7239c548 Not seen that before! -

The colour and bold herringbone of the newsboy cap looks good on you, Frank. -

I think I can safely guess that vintage cap style wearers aren't vegans :P -

I guess it is just personal preference. I've worn Akubra felt hats for years and I associate leather sweatbands with being hot and sticky. They are also the first part of the hat to wear out. Akubra have a wire that runs around inside of them and when the leather starts to go, the wire digs into... -

I can imagine what you mean by an improvement with a leather sweatband, even though I hate the things. I think Zasu achieves the same kind of structural look by by putting an wide elastic band inside the lining - it looks like they don't have a headband, but I think they do. -

It's 100% wool - a worsted wool fabric. The pattern is very nice and it is a good weight for a cap. I made some comments about my thought on the cap on a previous page, so I didn't make much comment with the photos. It's a good cap. It's not blocked like a Wigens or City Sport, but I think I... -

I actually don't think blue caps are an ideal colour for me, but I liked the look of the fabric in this one, and it's a suitable autumn weight. Now that I've recieved it, I can say the fabric is very nice. -

Ah, that is disappointing. Maybe it is vintage polyester though :P the hottest cap I've worn is one with a polyester shell. -

This I reckon would be a brilliant summer cap. The wool blend may shape better and wrinkle less than linen... and well if you are paying the same price, you might as well go for a fine wool fabric than a linen. Be interesting to know what percentage blend it is though, in that regard... -

Summer caps are the trickiest ones I reckon. They're are out there, but summer fabrics rarely look as good as the tweeds in a newsboy style. I'm thinking the eight dart, French style cap has potential in that regard - I have the impression that flatter plane, one piece design will work better... -

Retro Sport cap from Brigitte turned up today (pics tomorrow). Very pleased. Nice quality, fits perfectly - true to the metric sizing. It's a very comfy cap and has enough room in the crown for me to pull it down the way I like. The one place that caps often irritate me is at the back seam - I... -

I don't have any other caps with earflaps, but the ones on the Wigens are well designed... they have elastic that cups around under your ears. I have rather large, long lobed ears, and they manage to cover mine, so I'm pretty impressed with them. A friend on youtube has an Eddie Bauer cap that... -

There's a lot of Wigens on the net, Frank. I've heard a lot of criticisms of Wigens being pricey, and read a few bad reviews in regards to their linen caps, but I would have been happy to pay retail price for the two I have. If you hunt around on the net, you can usually find mark downs. My main... -

Most factory caps seem to be fastened these days, Wiser Hatter. I wear my caps centred pretty much, but yes, it restricts you from wearing it any other way. I think I also prefer Wigens Ivy style to the Gatsby, because I think the Wigens Ivy design is a well resolved one, but this will get... -

Thanks. I wear my oatmeal, linen hp cap a great deal - it is fairly wrinkled and creased, but it is comfy, cool and the colour works for me. Never planned to be a beige guy, but it does seem to suit me. These Wigens Gatsbys would be good with just the one snap.
