You can take the boy out of New England, but... Those are still a fav of mine, too, Andy.
Super sweet vintage cap, my friend!

gear-guy - I really don't have the history on this hat. But Johnny J who you'll find most often on the Cap Faction thread would probably know a whole lot about it. He has a number of true vintage hats as well as his own creations. If you look on that thread you'll see a "Starflower" cap I wore yesterday - which Johnny based on a 1920s ad showing the cap. His work is flawless.

The western does look good on you TJones - I hope you can find a way to pad it and keep it.

Andy - another fine cap. The doughnut reminds me I need to lose a few pounds

Thanks my friend, I appreciate the comment. Yeah, I'm leaning toward keeping the hat. I really like it. I padded the sweat pretty good but the fit still feels a little awkward. Although, after wearing it a little while I don't notice it that much. It's definitely a heck of a hat. Really dense felt.

Che - great to see you again! That two tone is sharp

Latso - great photo!

Jed - lookin good as always. Both hats are look very sharp upon your noggin!

Andy that's a beautiful cap!

T Jones - that Western looks great. Nice choice!

Today I am wearing another of the 1920s caps I recieved from Johnny recently, as I prepare to start another day on Ft. Campbell. Not sure what I will do. .. yesterday I went to the meuseum and will try to post some photos up in a little bit.

...and as requested, here's a pic of me smiling. I don't like it though. I'm not going to make a habit of it. It makes my face hurt...

Thanks TJ. It suits you well, but I won't try to make you change your habits or strain your face muscles

 

[T Jones]

Justin, thanks buddy, I appreciate the comment. That's a really awesome cap! I like that! I gotta get another one!

Dane, Ha! You're welcome my friend! I got a cramp in my face when I strained to get that smile! Lol!
