The cap looks good on you Bud. I have a similar one from Hannah and just bought a second in brown tweed.

I am getting used to it, I would like one that is fuller cut, like the one that Speedster has.

Hey guy has anyone ever bought from this ebay store? http://stores.ebay.com/hats-capsonline

If so do you know what cut they make them? I tried explaining the different cuts to them but they didn't seem to get it. I like the Full Cut and I've bought several other that are always smaller like deep cuts and medium cuts. Thanks in advance

The Hat People rock.

I just received my newsboy cap for the hat people, and I can truly say that it is twice as nice as what I was expecting. The workmanship is flawless, and the fit is perfect. One thing I liked in particular, was the fact that they did not use any kind of stiff insert in the bill of the cap. It just conforms nicely to whatever shape you like without trying to fight it's way back to flat.
They do not use any snap to hold the top of the cap down on the bill, as the weight of the material is all that is needed. And the material is soft and supple.

I will be ordering another one soon in their "extra full" cut.

Anyone?

Hey Bud, What brand and cut is the gray cap you show?
That's the type I'm after

Do they fit true to size?

Thanks, Fred

Fred, it is a wool blend that I got on Amazon. I had a $10 gift certificate that needed to be used. I wanted to try a 8 panel cap, so it kind of worked out. Here is a link to a brown one just like it. While I like it, I am looking at a BWear for my next.

I picked this up last fall, not sure what type of cap it is. It is however warm and comfortable. It has a nice silk liner and is marketed by Perry Ellis.

My latest submission, not the best picture I'm afraid. It's an 8 panel brown herringbone tweed that I bought from Covent Garden market. Not as heavyweight as my BWear and not quite as much material but for £10 I'm happy with it.

Here's a new cap I got today. It's a Dockers brand flat cap. I got it at Goodwill. The original tag was still on it ($20). I got it for $1.

The Dockers logo was sewn on the back so I removed it.

 

[Fredthecat]

Nice score thunderw21 !! Nice looking cap and any decent cap for a buck is worth it.

All I found at Goodwill today was a red Turn-O-Matic "Take A Number" dispenser with numbers and stand for $8. I put it outside my office door, even the big boss had to laugh and wanted it.

Would rather have had the $1 cap

Nigel is the BWear too heavy a material for Spring or Summer?

Probably too heavy for summer but would be alright into spring. The one in the picture above would be fine.
