The problem with leather and caps is they will make your head sweat. [emoji3]One head must breath.
I have two caps with leather sweats and yes, I do prefer the fabric over leather. Fortunately I never move fast enough to work up a sweat so the leather works for me but I learned there is no real need to spend the extra for leather.The problem with leather and caps is they will make your head sweat.

Yes, I have a Fallsworth and I like it. A little less full than the AmiCharnel. I have one of Hepville's and really don't care for it. Mine has a very flimsy fabric and the brim has little to no substance to it. It just kind of flops. Also the sweat was low quality. I didn't think it offered value for the money I paid compared to so many others.
I was talking about a full leather cap or hat. One see’s these for sale but they general appeal to those who have never worn a cap or hat regularly. Leather sweat bands are not a problem all by caps have them.
I don't know if there's an actual list, but you can look through the Merchants Forum and maybe contact some of the merchants/vendors who primarily make caps to see if they can help.Is there a comprehensive list of hat makers here somewhere? Thanks
Thanks, Eric. I'm already wanting to order 2 or 3 more!New cap day rules!
Congrats on the new cap sir. The fabric used on your new 8 panel is very dapper. The material has enough colors and hues to pair up with a bunch of your kit. The drape of the cap is flattering. Congrats!
I look forward to seeing more of the cap in the near future.
Best, Eric -
Do you have that many sport coats to sacrifice?Thanks, Eric. I'm already wanting to order 2 or 3 more!
Actually, I had already offered the extra fabric to Eric in advance of my cap being made, but after Jonathan cut out the pieces for my cap he told me there just wans't enough left for a second cap, unfortunately.@Tukwila I saw your hat on Instagram and was immediately mesmerized by the fabric. I asked Jonathan if it was his own fabric or provided by a customer. Any extra fabric from that sports coat?
I have a beautiful Magee Donegal Tweed jacket I'd love to have in a cap, but I'm not willing to cut it up as it actually fits me!Do you have that many sport coats to sacrifice?
I know that Jonathan Richard hats are quite well known for their traditional handmaking techniques. But they dont sell online. The newsboy range is nice
