From Simonds. It is linen, and linen lined. The color is even a little richer golden brown, but I can't quite get it right in the photos. It is very nicely made.





Simonds' own picture may be a little closer in color, but is a little too orange or yellow.

new vintage cap for Moco
232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv8993%3Dot%3E7%3A77%3D487%3D34%3B%3DXROQDF%3E28372%3B%3B%3B%3A%3A25%3Aot1lsi

2 piece leather sweat with a open articulated section in between for adjustment for the brim belt
232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv6564%3Dot%3E7%3A77%3D487%3D34%3B%3DXROQDF%3E28372%3C38%3B825%3Aot1lsi

"the better kind" logo & 2 stripes are embossed into the leather & the front piece of leather is folded back.
Simonds does this to his leather sweats & I noticed it is very comfy & supports the break / drape between body to brim
which results in a cool side profile or pull to the side angle (articulation)

old school detail on buckle & snap

Krazy fabric & weave, any guesstimate to its age gents ??

Moco digs it & it is adjustable so he will have a few years use as he grows he is 2 & 1/2 now.

the boys do take care of there hats well
but
for the kids I do prefer fabric sweats verses leather as I can dry clean EZ so this cap wont be a daily accessible
:cool:

Once again Moco proves to be the kid with the lid. Helps g-pappy has great taste and connections. That is one of my favorite vintage caps seen here so far.
