Just got this Chinese domestic product flat cap off ebay for £8, it's surprisingly nice quality, and the cut is quite vintage, it's more a royal blue in person i will post more pics on monday of me wearing it. it would be fascinating to hear how it ended up in the UK
The gent second left in...
Happens all the time with older stitched caps, that's why i prefer ones with snap brims, it's very easy to fix though, just do some small stitches in the very middle a few times if you get what i mean.
From what i understand, the snap button was so you could have the cap sagging to the left or...
My latest vintage cap purchase, from the seventies according to the seller, it still has influences from earlier 20th century caps(even though modern looking ones started appearing in the fifties) it's very British in cut, usually worn by older gents like Albert Tatlock in corrie.

Had no probs stretching a cap 2-3 centimetres if they are made of natural fibres, i don't use a hat stretcher i just shove them on my head then pull at the sides until they fit comfortably. I don't like it when caps fit super low down on the ears i like them to fit somewhat snug
Darted cap spotted at low starting price, i have enough hats, you may have to ask if they would ship it to the US.

Quite amazing how much wool can stretch, the twenties cap fits perfect now and i repaired the liner, still got plenty of life in it, i think the previous owner would want me to wear it not for it to be a dust gatherer.
Belonged to the sellers grandfather in the twenties from what she told me, its got the same three piece construction as the modern ''bond'' caps you find on country clothing websites over her, a very British cut.
Nice bin lid, probably 1930's, not my size and a bit knackered unfortunately. Will prob not go for loads
