Alan, you the man with that hat and sport jacket!
Alan, it's hard (for me, at least) to imagine that elegant hat with the brim up. How about a pic? Thx.
Thank you Perry... some day I'm going to have you teach me how to wear a tie.
Great hats from everyone today guys.
Orangegrad you look fine in those caps. If anything you just need to wear 'em a lot more. Like a leather jacket, the more you wear them the more they will relax and conform to you. I have a capas and a b-wear myself. Over time they start to sag and drape and get just right for your head. I spent a winter in Ukraine with only a black b-wear cap, and after months of being rained and/or snowed on daily it took on a completey different shape from when it was new. I think I've posted pics before. I also happen to live down here in Alabama where being drenched in sweat is a way of life, and that too will add plenty of character to a cap.
Here are some pics of my new capas cap, it's a full 11 inches in diameter I've only had it a couple of weeks, but its already been in the rain, and with todays high expected to hit the low 80s, it's getting a pretty fair soaking from the inside out right now.
I also usually let my beard grow during the colder months, and ,yes, I think it looks a little better with caps.

it could also be one of my Stratoliners
Alan, I noticed that brim style on the video of your very interesting lecture - on the mink(?) Stratoliner. It looks a bit like the old adds for the OR, and yet not. I really like the very slight upturn and the pointy (couldn't find a better word) front. I have noticed, that you use that style on a lot of hats, and it suits your face darned well.
I have tried "The Friedman Style" on a couple of my own, and it looks just great. Tends to give the hat an early 20s/30s look. A real fine alternative to the snap
TJones - I just ordered this cap: http://www.villagehatshop.com/show_product/451139-75625
They didn't have the one you suggested in my size. This one looks very similar, just a slightly different color. If I look half as good as you do in yours, I'll be a happy camper. Thanks for the tip (which I should have paid attention to earlier).
It's hard enough to keep eyebrows out of my field of view (a problem that grows rapidly with advanced age)

I suspect wearing caps is as much attitude as it is finding the right cap(s). Anyway, I'm going to wear my Capas 8 panel tomorrow and see how I like it.
Last Sunday working in a Meet, with my friend Pepe Canchola from León, Gto. Mex., wearing my black Dobbs¡¡¡¡
