The Cap Faction

Keith, that fabric is absolutely out of this world. I can't hazard a guess about the snap situation, but even if it's a goof up, that's money way more well spent than on a carhartt cap.

I promise had I known they were so expensive I'd have tried to take better care of it.;)

Pardon some "cap newbie" questions, but all I have are those I got in shops in Ireland, and I see so many other styles here, but don't know where to get them. I see this one has a bill that sticks out more than the ones I own. Is there a name for this style? One thing I don't like about the ones I own is that the bill doesn't come out far enough to keep the sun out of my eyes.

Thanks Al and also to Keith for posting that. Today I'm sporting a new to me early Johnny C heavy wool 8 dart. The cap was a gift from a fellow Lounger. You guys rock!

Next question: how does one find a "heavy wool" cap? As opposed to the ones for sale by say, Hanna Hats? I want a heavier one that will keep me warm in snow country. This one looks like it'd do it.
