A pile of wool was the trick for the cool weather yesterday. The heavy tweed wool cap was comfy.

Morning coffee wearing a "Minnesota tuxedo" and topped in a Stormy Kromer wool cap.

No more tricks. Time for a treat. Teased cap 2 of 2 from Keith Lo Bue, the L'Étoile:

Constructed from 1930s German wool and lined with 1900s Italian suit material:

Weather took a turn for for the worse with the second coldest and second snowiest Halloween on record yesterday (after setting record highs in the 80s the previous week). Still cold today, but perfect weather for a new cap day:

Obviously I love wearing my hats, but more often than not it's the caps that elicit a comment from a stranger when out and about. Maybe it's because they're less intimidating. Regardless of the reasons, this cap will get plenty of headtime with the onset of colder weather. Can't recommend The Well-Dressed Head enough!

The cap is a Simonds vicuña wool 8 panel.
The vicuna wool cap is just classy and very elegant. Congrats on the dynamite cap.

I ran errands early this morning in a diamond weave wool cap. The belted back caps have eye appeal coming and going.

Friday I wore a vintage JC Penny cap. I really enjoy the pattern and hues of the wool.
