Quiet Man Cap

[Atticus]

I've been lurking here for awhile and finally decided to join the group. I've learned a lot so far and look forward to learning more.

I've been searching (to no avail) for a cap similar to the one worn by John Wayne in the movie "The Quiet Man". The closest I can find is a Newsboy cap (which is a possibility) but I'd prefer my first choice.

Can anyone suggest a retailer that I could contact?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps

Welcome to the Lounge, Atticus!

Maybe something like this?

from J Peterman, on sale.

That looks like the Strathcarron cap available from Scotch Corner (the top cap on that page) in a wide variety of tweeds, for $59.00.

Another possibility is the Turnberry from James Lock

It's actually very hard to get modern caps that are exactly the right shape, diameter and pattern of tweed. As always, I reckon keep looking on ebay, especially ebay UK. I have seen a few near ringers of late including a nice french casquette went for about ?Ǭ£13.

EVERYTHING turns up on ebay in the end. You just have to put the effort and patience in.

My favorite movie. Great cap, too.
Good luck finding it:beer: "I'll take one of those......black beers...."

"Cable Car Clothiers". The preppiest store west of the Rockies. I've always wondered how it survived the '60s in San Francisco.

Maybe a Hanna Hat from Donegal?
