So here's my next installment on "The Binge"... Froggy Went Courting - 1920s Baker Boy - Made by Olney I wanted to try a WIDE baker boy, but in the 1920s style and somewhere on this forum someone pointed out an outfit called Froggy Went Courting based in the UK. They specialize in vintage... -

If you go to his site and look at size choices they all look wrong to me. The only thing I can think of is he's listing a 58.7cm hat as 58 and not 59 and-so-on-and-so-forth. The "US" size looks right and the inches measurement looks a little off. I'll mention it to him again. It's confusing and... -

The second hat I bought from Monsivais was a custom order. I loved the look of The Dart from the pictures on their website, I had to buy one. Monsivais - The Dart 2/4 panel cap So, again I think there is something up how sizes are listed on his site. This one while not as tight as the All... -

Got a few of the hats in that I've recently binge ordered... I'll start with the Monsivais - All Sport - 8 dart cap. I ordered a premade cap in the size of 7 3/8. The cap I received said 7 1/4. Not sure what happened there, but that's what I got. I spoke with Damien about an issue with my... -

Yeah I think I'm going with Cordova next after I get these 6 hats in. I also have my eyes on a few other Etsy based retailers and a guy on eBay as well. Anyone ever buy from countrysidehatsandsocks on eBay? His prices are great and if I can tell correctly, it looks like either he or someone... -

@Tukwila Very nice! I should get on their list. Eventhough, I'm on a "bespoke" binge, you never know when something will pop up that I want to try. Should be getting a whole slew of hats soon. Two from Monsivais, one from Simonds, one from Hat People, another from Froggy Went Courting (made by... -

I don't completely agree with that dude in the youtube vid. I wear flat caps backwards. It depends on the hat. Some look pretty good backwards... some don't. The thing is you have to own it. -

Yup, I thought it might refer to the crown as well, logically speaking. According to Websters - : a pointed or projecting part of a garment especially : the visor of a cap or hat //The cap's peak shades his eyes. -

Yup I was referring to the bill or brim. Never really called it a peak until I found this forum. I just thought it was the correct term for the anatomy of a cap. Yup I always have to have my bill / peak / brim curved and cocked and ready to go. I'm in the same camp about baseball caps. I... -

Yup he mentioned he was busy with the show, so I guess that's what that was all about. The thing I like about Monsivais vs. the other guys excluding The Well Dressed Head is that you see every style that he makes. With Simonds and to a lesser degree, Cordova, you take a look at pics and let... -

I'm about to get the first of two caps from Monsivais. Ordered "The Dart", which is a 2/4 design... 4 panels instead of 8. The fabric is going to be a diamond twill weave. I think it'll look great on a panel style cap. I also went with a pre-made they had in stock in blue donegal tweed called... -

@drmaxtejeda really like the cap. Which fabric is that? Looks like it could make a nice spring, early summer, fall cap. I have yet to order a cap from Cordova. It's on my list though. Just curious if you guys like to add a nice curve to your peak on your hats. I'm more of a curve and tip to the... -

Next up is my 2nd Kangol... picked this one up at Century 21 - another one of these discount dept. stores. Not sure if they're nationwide, but we have a few in the NYC area. Might have picked this up for $15-20. Kangol - Bamboo Clery This looks different than a normal 504. It's at least 10... -

So here we go with my Ivys... I've been wearing Ivys for a super long time. I picked up my first Ivy from a Syms before the whole sub-50 yr old Ivy wearing craze started. My friends would give me hell for it. But I liked the style regardless and thus have stuck with it. I might have had 2 or 3... -

B! Wear - Gatsby in blue tweed Now this is my first bespoke hat. I found this forum after searching for newsboy caps - actually found Kevin from JJ first and this is how I learned about the different types of newsboys... which led me here. I saw some posts about B! Wear and took a gander at... -

Stetson - Hatteras Patchwork 150th Anniversary Edition Here's another new hat. Before I knew about this forum and the world of bespoke caps... I was looking for a wool newsboy on the bay and knew that Stetson was known for making fine headwear. I saw this patchwork in mostly brownish colors and...
