    vintage caps

    I've been able to stretch a wool size 57 cap to 58 with no issues of deformation in the appearance.. I'm not sure if I'd try much more of a stretch. Especially in newsboys, they might get wonky in appearance afterwards. But if I sweat badly in it the cap or get the cap wet in the rain, it'll...

    Sweat stains ruining felt hats & panamas: is that a real thing?

    I've seen it much more often in unlined vs hats with liners. a lot depends on a individuals physical chemistry. I know guitar players whose finger oil & sweat corroded strings in a few weeks. Whereas, I know guitar player's who play just as frequently & their strings last 6 months.

    The Cap Faction

    What's the general opinion on lambswool in newsboy caps? Is it durable?? I've got my eye on a used Wigens cap on ebay. I know what lambswool is, but a Google search on the lounge just gave opinions on its use in sweaters & jackets. I haven't found anything on caps made with lambswool...

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    I'm strangely drawn to purchasing this hat/ cap for the amusement factor. But the realist in me knows at that price point, I can get a much more useful cap.

    A good day for my Stetson royal deluxe modified Roadster. About 5 years ago, I removed the leather hat band and installed a nice ribbon. It's my favorite hat.
