Thanks Eric,
I appreciate your feedback. I really like this cap, The Shetland wool feels lighter and might be wearable in warmer weather.
I think it's going to get a lot of wearing
This mornings hike called for a Gamble and Gunn "Ramsden" model cap. 8 panel slightly slim newsboy. Darker grey Shetland wool. It's got a softer feel to it than Harris Tweed.
If I have any complaints about Gamble and Gunn, it's their secrecy over where caps are made. They don't disclose...
20 degree morning with a single digit wind chill brought out my lined caps during the last blast of winter.
@Zombie_61 inspired me to wear my Sterkowski Malone for this mornings hike in the woods.
My Sterkowski Malone got a lot of wear this winter ...getting soaked by snow and ice didn't affect it at all. The quilted lining in my Rambler and the Malone means they won't be worn for much longer. Sterkowski Shelby doesn't have a quilted liner, so it's getting worn now..

I can say that Gamble and Gunn in the UK is very slow to respond to internet & email inquiries. It has typically taken 5-7 business days to get a response to my inquiries..
I've purchased numerous hats and caps from Delmonico hatter.. never had a bad experience.
Ben and the group are great people.
FWIW. I live about a 30 minute drive from the shop, I pop in every time they have a sale going in. It's fun to browse in the old store..
Good to know that I'm not the only person who decides that a cap purchase is incorrect not long after it arrives. Goodwill and friends have been the recipient of my errors.

I kinda like the mismatched pattern. It's not something that I'd personally obsess about. The Harris Tweed is great wool. My Rambler softened up quite a bit after a few exposure's to rain / snow.

Buying that particular hat is a personal decision. I can say that Ben and the group at Delmonico Hats are great folks. Have you chatted with them about this hat or about your needs??
For all the fans of Sterkowski "Shelby" model caps, they just announced 2 new colors in harris tweed.

55 degrees here today. Great day for early spring cleaning in the yard. My Akubra Banjo Patterson is always ready for yard work. 5+ years old, it's been rained on, covered in snow and ice. Dropped in mud.
