i am still thawing around the idea of a full cut , yours does have some room, i don't want it too baggy though , i may end up with a simonds one day---- and yes a good looking woman has my definite attention in hats, just makes my blood flow :eusa_clapThank you. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "gentlemanly", or the difference between that and a "blue collar dock worker/prison look". It could be the way I wear them--centered on top of my head rather than having the crown off to one side or the other. There's enough crown with the "full cut" to play with the look somewhat, but for wearing them the way I do what you see is what you get.
I've thought about getting one with the "extra full cut", but the Capas cap I have (seen here) already has more crown than I prefer. The "adjusting strap" is simply a length of elastic sewn beneath the sweatband; you pull it through a small access hole in the sweatband until the cap cinches down to the preferred fit (I'd guess as much as 2" if necessary), and secure it with a small safety pin (which they provide). I don't use the adjusting straps because their caps fit me just right as-is, so they lie unused and unseen beneath the sweatbands of my caps.
As for the beard, I've been fortunate that most of the places I've worked at over the last 35 or so years didn't really care as long as I kept it neatly trimmed; now that I'm on the "disabled list" I can wear my beard and hair however I want to, but if I don't keep it trimmed I look like a deranged bum or a Duck Dynasty employee.
Wonderful photos you shared with us! Your wife is lovely, and with that cap...well, let's just say I really like the look of an attractive woman in a flat cap; I'm a child of the 60s, what can I say? Looking at your photos again, it occurs to me that the caps you're wearing in them is the "blue collar dock worker/prison look" you mentioned above, and I think you just might be able to re-create that look with one of Hat People's "extra full cut" caps.
