    I search for ''flat cap'' then filter out the new items out by clicking on used only, then select newly listed at the top of the page, bear in mind i am in the UK and don't wear newsboy caps so i'm not sure what results you would get. You can still get the cap style i like by searching for...

    cheers, i buy them off ebay 99% of the time, i just check it everyday, most times its luck, I very rarely see any old style caps in shops, it's more modern ones the majority of the time. It is a nice cap, had to remove the plastic bit on the snap button again though so i could drape it to the...

    Yep, early 20th century style is timeless. Just bought this failsworth james cap for £8, this style was around in the thirties too. Going to have to have a break from cap purchases after this i have enough now to outfit a platoon with caps.

    Definitely like the second one more, the first one is a bit too modern looking for my taste, the second looks very Victorian/Edwardian in cut and fabric, they wore them smaller in that time period around 1900, so i wouldn't say it's a modern cut.

    I have been quite lucky with my cap purchases recently, must have going on 20 of them now, they don't take much space up in the drawers and being northern English/Yorkshireman it just feels ''right'' wearing them, unfortunately a lot of of younger people don't carry on tradition.

    Fifties or sixties cap i think, bargain price(only £4.60) a little worn but that gives it character

    Not a bad cap for £4.60, probably fifties or sixties judging by smaller crown size, had to sew it back down in the middle but that was a piece of cake.

    Interesting cap i just received in the post, Probably Slovakian considering it says rajcanka and rajek(a river and town in Slovakia) on the stamped label(stamped labels like this seem to be typical of communist era clothing) so it's probably from the Slovak socialist republic. Only paid £5 for...

    Got this cap to fit pretty well, it stretched rather nicely but had to remove the crap plastic bit they attach to the snap button inside but i always do this anyway because i can drape the crown of the cap to the side when i do so, sorry for the lack of pictures as i cannot charge the old...

    Just bought this cordings cap worn only once for £10, couldn't resist considering they are usually £60 brand new, I am hoping i can stretch it a couple centimetres like i have done in the past , i usually find bagger caps fit a bit looser as it is so it shouldn't be a problem, if it was a more...

    My favorite cap, a modern tweed ''bond'' flat cap, looks suitably vintage does it not?, this cut of cap was around in the thirties according to this site. https://kurtzvintage.wordpress.com/2014/04/16/1930s-cap-dunn-co-houndstooth/

    The Cap Faction

    I find tweed caps do stretch quite well, i have a size 58cm old tweed cap what i was able to stretch by a cm and a half close to my 60cm hat size, steam from the kettle and wearing it and pulling the cap at the back while wearing it does seem to loosen it. i like wearing my caps at an angle so i...

    I would perhaps ask the seller for a manual measurement in centimetres, they should be able to do it for you.

    I think they are scarves and neckerchiefs and some traditional ties, scarves tucked underneath waistcoats is a very British working class look of the time, it does do a good job of keeping you warm i do it myself. Cravats to me are the posh silky items usually in paisley etc you saw lords or a...
