Our business is to still remain dark according to our Governor (press conference announcement today). Well Dressed Head cap worn before Zoom athlete workouts and an afternoon meeting.

I hope that things can get back to some kind of normal for you soon, Eric...and for everyone else affected by this mess.

Great cap, though, for what it's worth.

Hopefully more and more things will get back to normal. But it does make sense to go slow. Sometimes caution is the better part of valor.

My cap of choice right now is a 2020 Baltimore Orioles "spring training" baseball cap. Picked it up at Ed Smith Stadium, Sarasota, FL in early February. That was back when no one seemed to know for sure just where this Coronavirus thing was headed. Now with no baseball in the immediate future it means more to me than ever. Wish I has a pic but I seem to have misplaced it. :(

I can understand that. I feel your pain. Here is my favorite “baseball” cap. Miami Dolphins training camp hat from A few years back.

It’s a bit dirty beat up and stretched out.. but I give it a good clean up every year for training camp whether it needs it or not. Here it is about half way through it’s cleaning.

But shhhh. We have to be careful. Don’t want to upset the hat police around here. LOL

Picked up this Wabash Indigo Stripe Cap from a Chinese denim maker Bob Dong, who copies Japanese vintage work wear reproduction denim. I suppose this cap is a cousin of the quintessential striped railroad cap which is a Hickory Stripe. The denim heads drop big bucks for Japanese reproductions of vintage American work wear, but this knockoff works just fine even though it took 7 weeks to ship.

Very nice! That’s a good looking cap and you wear it well.

I am not a cap guy save for the occasional baseball or running hat. Recently, I received an ad from Sterkowski Caps & Hats, a Polish company I have purchased from before. Because of the COVID-19, they were offering five handmade masks, either free with purchase, or separately.

I thought I had placed an order for just some masks, so when the package arrived weeks later, I was surprised to find it included a cap. Well, nothing I can do except try it, right?

The fit is a bit snug. I'm wondering if wearing it will stretch it a bit. I can't say I'm sold on it, but maybe some feedback from those who wear a cap regularly?

The driving cap looks good on you. The drop on the back of cap looks good and the brow appears to be in a good spot above the eye brows. The brim is stylish. Looks good. Leather sweat in the cap? If leather sweat, it is my experience that the fit can be adjusted by using a hat stretcher and some steam.

Excellent first cap. For the next cap experiment; a larger "brim" on the cap would shade the face more. I like the look of a 2.5" brim. You can play with the type of cap, type of material, and amount of drape. Fun to experiment.


Psychedelic!!! Fantastic cap, Eric!

Thanks sir. Good thing the cap is on my head and when I turn my head I do not have to see the "many colors."
