You're right danofarlington though it's really the north west of Africa. I've edited it to say north west of Africa now.

Josh, rarely photo, you with Cap, but I like it and can say, looks very good on you!
Cool photo from your grandfather.!

Josh, Great look with the cap! Same as your GGF!

I see a definite resemblance there!

Nice caps Josh & Manfred!

My thought exactly! You rock that cap, Josh.


WOW, THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!! I was a little unsure of how I would look in a cap because I'm so used to wearing high crowned fedoras, that a flat cap seemed so opposite of the spectrum, but I am really comfortable wearing it now. Again, I really appreciate all the wonderful words, Gents!

Well, I took a big step today and spent real money on a new Borsalino. I'm fortunate(?) to live in Cincinnati and took the afternoon off with a buddy and went down to Batsakes. We both left with new hats. Batsakes, Gus and his wife are exactly as I'd imagine. We couldn't get out of there to feed the meter cause he was talking my ear off. Small town and too many folks in common. I am breaking it in as I type and absolutely love it. I dropped off a 40 y.o. Dobbs that will get a total makeover - complete new inside, all for $50. I can't wait to get it back! I'll post when I get some daylight.
