Red Wool Cap
Kangol's wool felt and open weaved synthetic ones will be the easiest to find. They make both in bright red. Amazon has them, and the quality is decent to good without being too expensive. I've heard them called Ivy caps, flat caps, and cheese cutters all in contrast to newsboy caps, which are... -
"A Gentleman Does Not Wear a Straw Hat in the Metropolis, sir"
That was Bertie's white mess jacket with brass buttons, which Jeeves thought appropriate for a waiter, or, perhaps, a naval officer. There were similar contretemps between them over the length of Bertie's short trousers, fedoras (again, not thought to be appropriate for the city) and once, when... -

pls advise: Home made campaign hat / Montana crease
Steam it to an open crown, and start making the four dents with more steam. Just like any crease. If it will hold, it won't need any structure inside. Remember, the "cross" goes front to back and side to side for the Park Service. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a dent to the front. -
pls advise: Home made campaign hat / Montana crease
There are always surplus Ranger/Trooper hats on sale on eBay, and sometimes they go pretty cheap. Stratton is the maker. I'm not sure what luck you will have making a cheap costume hat hold that shape. -
The Cap Faction
I got a new cap from Lawrence & Foster in Yorkshire. I ordered from their website a little more than two weeks ago, and it just arrived here in Texas today. I am very pleased. The sewing is very nicely done, and the fabric is excellent.. The swatches on the website were tiny, but the color is... -

Hat Psychology
I think there may be something to your theory. Another factor may be that the hat simply draws attention to you (us), and therefore, others may approach you simply because they notice you more. Now we just need four or five graduate students to run an experiment! -
Irony in the misconception that people who wear fedoras look ridiculous
Nucky Thompson does! -
Black Sheep Hat Works
I got the sizing kit and card of felt swatches for my Black Sheep order. Bob Jessee sends several sweatbands in 1/8" increments around the size you give him, and you tell him which fits right. I sent mine back today. 24 5/8" fit me. I should get a Traveler (a fairly traditional, high-crowned... -
Irony in the misconception that people who wear fedoras look ridiculous
Those who think fedoras look ridiculous aren't making an argument that they don't help one keep one's head warm, so meeting the claim of a silly appearance with counterarguments about warmth miss their point. It isn't an argument that addresses the claim. Of course, fedoras do not look... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
We are going to be almost 80 degrees today, which is about ten degrees warmer than normal, so I just grabbed a Kangol Ventair cap. Nothing fancy, but I like the color. -

Nice hats, all. MBarnes, that is a great find and those make me very jealous, since my 7 3/4 melon makes a find like that very improbable for me. -
The Cap Faction
I have a cashmere tweed cap with a grosgrain ribbon sweatband. The band is a little dirty and could use a washing. The cap is more than 25 years old, but in excellent shape except for the sweatband dirt. Should I wash it? I am thinking Woolite and cold water and a hand wash in the sink. Is that... -

It is also my understanding that the Akubra Campdraft is similar to (or perhaps even the same hat as) the Open Road Akubra was licensed to make for Stetson. -
current production tilley hats
I wear a recently made Tilly hat when I golf in the strong Texas sun. Mine is the T5MO which is a light, soft cotton (not the duck) with mesh around the top of the crown for ventilation. It is a well made hat.
