The Cap Faction

[Mario]

Those French caps really are something, aren't they? And this one especially with those edges. Beautiful find!

Baron,
Outstanding Find, 3 point's on top rear & 2 raised seams & Killer Pre atomic fabric....Very Nice!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Thanks chaps. I think you guys will like the other one, too, though it's rather more "standard". To be posted tomorrow!

BK must let Johnny get a good look at it might need to have some copies made
Love the fabric that Atomic stuff is just not made any more. A good donegal tweed would work nicely thou.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Not me. I wouldn't pay that much for an "ordinary" cap.

Baron, did you snatch that cap right from under my nose?

Another deadstock Aero Club cap from my Paris trip. Lovely box check fabric:

Now that's a funky fabric and a great grab. :eusa_clap

Paris, eh?

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

What Mario said, great fabric boy wish they still made fabric like that.

 

[Johnny J]

Wow!

Baron,
You have been blessed with the gift of the Cap.

Those French caps really are something, aren't they?

the French 30s caps (and especially the jazzy fabrics) just have that je ne sais quoi.

 

[Simonds]

Another nice cap, Baron, yeah those french caps are very nice in profile.

 

[mikespens]

Really nice pair Baron, makes for great memories of a trip to Paris.

You name it. There are no words that could express just how happy I am with that brown 30's French cap I scored a couple of weeks ago. It has become my uncontested favorite at the moment. I rarely ever leave the house without it and if I do keep asking myself why I did....

 

[Lonny]

Long time since I've been on here!

Or since I purchased a new hat!
But the other day I got a great deal on 4 Goorin Bros cadet style caps. I had one last year and it was perfect, my favorite cap by far and I was a dummy and lost it along with a pair of Ray-Ban wayfarers.

But now I'll have 4 in varying colors, pretty excited! Though they aren't vintage, I figure this is as good a place as any to throw my shopping-spree-excitement!

Pictures when they arrive no doubt!

 

[Chepstow]

Baron, congrats, fantastic find and cap that is for sure!

Empire state cap. Probably '50s. Maybe late '40s?

I love the logo!

The belt on the back looks almost functional instead of just a decoration.
