What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

[dkstott]

Picked this one up on a whim recently. Very basic knit watchcap of a type that's been around forever. Perfect for wearing round the house these colder days when I'm a bit too 'workwear' for the smoking cap. View attachment 563770 View attachment 563771

Love it... I typically have one of my newsboy caps on while in the house during the winter.

Good morning cap folks. Here are a couple of caps I have worn the past days.

Cheers to all, Eric. -

WDH Five Points joined me on my trip to my folks for Thanksgiving:

This is in Manitowoc on the ride back home, about three hours into a nine hour trip in a wintry mix. Not fun, but we made it back home safe and sound.

They're a good option. I've misplaced the watchcap this morning and need to get on with some stuff, so I've thrown on a denim A3 (not quite as warm, but enough to keep the chill off the bald!). Got a smoking cap and a few fezzes that are also useful when there's company...

Yesterday chores and I enjoyed the peace of a fire. A Stormy Kromer was my work cap.

Cheers, Eric. -

Boy, I like that cap! Mr. Lo Bue sure does nice work; I only wish I could afford it.

Thanks, Al. I was lucky enough to snag this on eBay for pretty cheap a while back.

I forgot to mention that when I was walking through the craft store with my wife during the holiday break, the woman working at the fabric counter couldn't get over the cap. She was actively assisting a customer but still made a point to comment on it as we walked by.

I've admired WDH caps as well, but they're priced way above my budget...

Yesterday's cap was a made with a delightful gun check wool from Fox Brother's. I am surprised at how easily the checked fabric caps pair with clothing.

This morning I headed into work early to get some tasks completed. I feel much better as I am done. The day will be smoother for all.

Good morning to all. Best, Eric. -

Afternoon shenanigans find me wearing a heavy wool cap.

Cheers, Eric. -

Cordova cap earlier this week.

SJC (Cathcart Heritage now) eight-dart cap from the 16/17 Winter collection. Corduroy with brushed cotton lining; the warmest cap I've ever owned other than a B2 or a ushanka (assuming the latter is a cap rather than a 'hat' - jury's out on that one!). Paris today for my last teaching trip this semester, but no Eiffel selfie, owing to a mix of a 9am start and then haring across town in a cab to meet a colleague from another university for dinner at 'Au Petit Suisse', which was a joy. On the way back, I meandered around the Notre Damme area for a bit, chancing across this cute little shop-window display in a store specialising in antique / vintage cameras...

Today's red Harris Tweed wool cap added some needed color to the evening.

Cheers, Eric. -

...the warmest cap I've ever owned other than a B2 or a ushanka (assuming the latter is a cap rather than a 'hat' - jury's out on that one!)...

Google's search engine returned results with the phrase "Ushanka hat"; that's good enough for me.

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Today my downtown shenanigans found me sport'n a heavyweight wool tweed cap.

Cheers, Eric. -

 

[Trenchfriend]

I WILL get a nice Ushanka, today. Synthetic fibre, but surely nice!

Must be some fierce fighting with the Christmas shopping crowd if you are already Into "shenanigans" this season, Eric!



Another excellent cap you have. I'm hoping to have a nice, new Simonds before Christmas. Fingers crossed.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Said and done! I got a new affordable black Ushanka form Seeberger, all polyester.

Short story:
It's cozy and luckily, this only available M-size fits me well!

But the shape altogether is not on optimum in my case:
1. the earflaps are great, but doesn't fully cover my sides, still beeing a little open at the front
2. in your neck, you still need a turtleneck, because the backside is too short
3. the clasp is too uncomfortable over your Adam's apple, when the flaps are lashed together (put turtleneck under it!)
