You folks make it hard to resist the custom cap world...I’d love to have a dozen Cordova caps!
Zip locks... excellent moth and dust protectors for caps.Quick errand to pick up some plumbing supplies.
I intended to wear the showcased Well Dressed Head cap, but it took some effort. I believed I stored it in it's chosen spot. I did not. I ended up pulling out a couple bunches of caps finding it and then re-sorting them back into containers.

Wow! What a collection - not only the quality, as I always thought and saw, but also the quantity is stunning!
And in addition, an ingenious system of storage - even if it does not always quite work...
I prefer the more modern form-fitting caps as well, which is one of the reasons I've added several Ivy caps to my rotation. The slight difference in design generally makes them more form-fitting....I wish more people would post pics of the smaller shaped newsboys rather than the straight brimmed oversize pancake style that seems to dominate this thread.
Jay that cap is interesting. I like the blue woven fabric. You will have to fill us in on the details of the cap. The drape from the side view appears to be a medium drape of a medium weight material. Very nice looking cap Jay. Congrats.
Today I sported a medium weight wool French styled, one piece crown, Cordova Cap. The black, red and gray pattern works with my work attire well. Pulling this cap on, I do not need to be aware of coordinating any clothing. Just works for me most days.

Beautiful fabricWool for a cool, light snow afternoon in Minnesota.

This is not a driving cap style. It is a 7 point style. Not a big drape, IMO, it is a medium drape. The caps that fit closer to my skull are not as comfortable. This cap touches the top of my bald skull and then the leather sweat is the only other contact. The silk liner of the cap is barely felt.
Many different cap styles for many different tastes. I will have to break out some "tighter fits" in the upcoming days.

I store mine in the top drawer of a bedroom chest.I wish more people would post pics of the smaller shaped newsboys rather than the straight brimmed oversize pancake style that seems to dominate this thread.
just realized I never responded Eric. Barry said “...these wools are some of my favorites to work with. They are soft in comparison to say Harris tweeds, and the weight is heavy enough to hold a great shape.” I agree with him. Feels pretty thin but holds relatively well. Cheers!
ps. I store most of my caps with knock off cap pillows stacked on my dresser. I’ve been thinking they’re a bit overstuffed as they tend to get a bit disheveled.
