got anything else to say?

As Woodrow F. Call once said - "Hate rude behavior in a man. Won't tolerate it!"

I think your friends cap is probably a type of "flat cap" or 'ivy cap". There are many variations on the web. Using those 'keywords" you might find one very similar to the one he enjoys wearing.

Is this similar to the "HAT"

Very^ I found one by the same company, only it's leather, I'll have to ask him tomorrow if he's interested.

Good. I enjoyed searching.

DID YOU EVEN READ CORKYS' POST

As Woodrow F. Call once said - "Hate rude behavior in a man. Won't tolerate it!"

I don't tolerate rudeness either .. but corky's post was condescending at best ... especially his opinion of the adjustable sizing belt ... I owned a driving cap that had two, one on either side IMHO it was stylish ... I sold it on the bay & it fetched a hefty sum.

Then he had to do the step by step on how to navigate a site ... c'mon :eusa_doh:

Yes Wil I did read his post. I was actually trying to offer some support for your post. Sorry if it did not come across that way. In the movie Lonesome Dove, Woodrow works a cavalry scout over pretty good with a blacksmith tool, then makes the statement about not tolerating rudeness. Your emoticon smacking the other one around just reminding me of that - didn't mean anything else by it.

I understand now

Caity, back in the '60s and '70s I recall there were a lot of pigskin driving or flat caps of this sort. Usually had a buckle and leather tab adjuster in back. Was a campus fad for a while, actually. Not a throwaway but a classy, moderately costly cap.

I haven't seen many since then. Pigskin has small hair follicle indentations that give it texture, maybe help it breathe a bit, and those hats were usually tan, with a soft finish a bit like suede but smoother. Quick flash back - I think they usually had a tartan cotton lining. Does any of that fit?

You might do a search on "pigskin cap" or "pigskin driving cap" and see what turns up.

P.S. a little later...
Did a cursory search and didn't turn up anything like I had in mind. Lots of Chinese-made shiny chrome-tanned leather elastic-backed stuff, cheap-seeming compared to the ones I remembered.
