A Borsalino. This one is a touch large for me - maybe a half a size or maybe even a whole size but even aside from that, the cut is a little larger and not as close to the head as English made caps I have. Has anyone else noticed this about Borsalino?

Very nice Caps Keith and 888.
Borsalino has his own style. I had several Borsalino Caps and I have sold all. Not the right shape for me!

Nice caps Keith & Jhe888. I've not tried Borsalino but I like that fuller look - on my big head some traditional English caps look a little too streamlined.

I agree with Richard - I like the fuller cut to that cap, jhe. Nice one! Any way to get a shot looking at you from the front?

 

[jhe888]

Here is a front on view. The color is more accurate here, too. It isn't almost white and black, it is more beige and black checks.

Thanks for that - I really like it. And the color is terrific - much better than black/white, IMO. Goes great with the cardigan!

I think, it's got close to perfect proportions for you. I don't find it a fraction of an inch to big. I think most of us are quite sensitive to things like crown-height and brim-width (fedoras) and crown-"fulliness" and bill-length (caps). It takes some time to get used to new dimensions, nevertheless these preferences do sometimes change.

I used to prefer a 2 3/4" brim on my fedoras, but now I feel most comfortable between 2 3/8" to 2 5/8". A small step for a non-hat-wearer, but a giant leap for a fedoramanic. Give it a fair try, and it may end up as the most loved cap in your collection

This is the first time I've seen a salt & pepper cotton in a newsboy cap. I love it. Goes perfectly with my 1930's French atelier coat and work shirt! The cap has a very subtle windowpane.

That is a fantastic fabric Keith. Absolutely beautiful, and the cut of it works well for you.

What a crack-up - only you, Bert! Or maybe me. Or, really, any of us.

I do not have a large enough tree for all my vintage drums! Che should be posting his hat tree any day!

I think, I have read about that tree. Isn't that the Californian Redwood, they call "General Sherman"? lol
