First outing for a brand new Monsivais & Co newsboy, the “National” model in a very nice cotton gingham. Fit is a little looser than I like but it doesn’t slid down my noggin or fall off so it’s all good. Maybe because they call it the National but I feel the need to wear it to a baseball game.
As much as I love a good fedora, flat and newsboy caps seem to have pulled off the trick of looking both vintage and up to date, keeping classic hats alive!
Yeah, same size. I have found my Cordovas fit a bit loose so I attached some sizing tape under the sweatband. Now my hair’s longer I may need to take it out. Off the rack has such variance for some reason. Same company, Botvella, one cap is a bit loose the other is almost too tight, both 59s.
