A good cap, a good price, a good guy
Not only does a fine fedora tickle my fancy (and I've been tickled many times) but a good cap is "comfort food" for the head.
Brett Stiles makes a really cool cap that is refreshing in many ways. The price is right, the look is sporty (I am so tempted to say they are amusing with overtones of roasted almonds and a hint of oak--but I won't) the fabrics are traditional to funky and all really feel good.
I have already gotten some for myself, my wife, and a couple of gifts and they all scored high marks. I also just received three cashmere tartan caps made from Johnston of Elgin, Scotland scarves which I sent Brett. They are normally really expensive but if any of you have ever been to the Sierra Trading Post website, they are available at a very proper price. The cashmere caps have everything going for them and are "cloud weight".
I have read the thread a few times as to whether they are vintage and IMHO they are; they are vintage 2006. A riff on the traditional can really be a good thing, and the item which must be an exact copy is a spare key.
A B!Wear cap will make your hat feel good and a conversation with its maker will make your head feel straight.
