One thing I love is to find a beautiful vintage hat that's a bit too big for me. If it fits 'just right' to begin with it always seems to shrink a little bit as soon as you sweat in it or get it soaked through to the sweatband.
I wish they still made them like that. Why don't they? I don't like the poofy look, although I am pleased with my cheap navy blue capas cap, it's the closest to vintage I've seen flop wise.
Thank you, and I agree. It is my favorite cap. It is a "Capas" I purchased at Arnold Hatters. 35 dollars and it is a very sturdily made cap. It looks a bit blueish in person.

I wish I could say, but since this is my first I'm not sure. Part of that "tight" feeling is just the suede sweatband, which is not really tight. It just grips my head very securely. I've heard the sizing isn't always completely consistent since the caps are hand made, but I'd wait for some more...
It does have a very narrow bill, but I think it looks a little longer than my Hanna. Not sure, maybe I'm wrong, but it's definitely narrower. My only complaint with the hat is that it does not fit like any XL I have ever tried on. It's feels much tighter. :( I hope with wear it conforms to my...
Here is a B!Wear cap. Can't wait to wear it sunday and the rest of this week, and, well, all summer. Thank God for hat stretchers. I wear size large in Hanna and it fits rather loose especially when new. I ordered an extra large in this and it fit so tight. Anyway, should loosen up. The cut is...
