The Cap Faction

[jbucklin]

Jason, nice Cap, nice shape, looks good on you!

Johnny, If you could copy that Indra Cap, that would be great!
If anyone can that, then you are it.

It appears that there are two Jasons now. To which were you referring Manfred?

Errr.... no..... [huh] But that doesn´t have to be your fault neccessarily... I am at work and brain capacity is going strongly towards a buffer overflow.
I am not a huge fan of the Ivy-style caps but your´s and the Indra seem to intrigue me anyhow. I would love a cap that is a copy of the Indra for a change.

Driver style caps used to be my preference, but I went to newsboys to try and get more volume. I don't really mind any style of cap, as long as it has enough volume and a descent brim. Oversized driver caps are probably harder to find than oversized newsboys, but they are all pretty scarce, especially to find the more well made ones.

I just pulled the trigger for my first driver style cap and it will be very exiting again to see what comes up from one of Fedora Lounge´s own cap makers. Aah, the madness continues.....

 

[Adnamira]

That will be interesting to see, Frank. I reckon when I order one from him, I will go with a lighter fabric and save the heavier fabrics for caps like newsboys that need a bit of structure.

Check this out - vintage, 100% Australian wool flannel. I should grab this and send it to Johnny for a cap!

Oh but it probably wouldn't make much sense, paying for postage from the ebay seller, then paying for postage to Johnny and then paying for postage on the cap.

J.B, Jason, your Caps are great too. I would like to see the inside of the Borsalino Cap. I have also a Borsalino Travel cap!

Yesterday, I was on a birthday party from a friend. He got from his wife a really nice
Cap. Unfortunately It was him to small and that his wife bought the cap was to long ago.
So I bought this cap for a good price. At home I read the paper label and found out,
that the cap is from that store. I've postet the link a few days ago.
It is nicely done and has a great shape. My guess, it's the first cap on this site!

:eusa_clap Looks really good Manfred! Nice brim and overall shape. Is it pure wool?

 

[Chepstow]

Frank, thanks, no, it has 30 % wool and 70% Polyester. It's a nixed fabric, my guess.
But the shape is perfect in my eyes!

 

[St. Valentine]

Oh pity... I have a cap that looks quite similar which I bought used at Ebay. It was described as pure wool which it is unfortunately not. Normally I would have sent it back but the shape is too nice for not having it.

 

[Johnny J]

Very nice cap Manfred and looks great on you! Congrats!

 

[Chepstow]

Frank, a shame, but, If you like it, and you like it. A small consolation!

Johnny, thank you very much for the kind words, it's much appreciated.

Very nice cap Manfred and looks great on you! Congrats!

+1
It sure does!

Interesting construction at the back.

 

[Razzman]

I agree, great looking hat!

 

[Two Types]

This is a cap that I ordered from Bela (Hepville). I am very pleased with it. The shape is large enough to get some overhang, but doesn't overhang so far that it looks ridiculous. I wore it at the weekend and received lots of positive comments. I am certainly planning to order another one. My plan is to cut up an old damaged Harris Tweed to have the cap made from the fabric.

Thanks, Bela.

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

You got the cap cocked and ready to go. The only way to wear a cap.

 

[seabass]

Very nice cap Manfred and looks great on you! Congrats!

Chepstow That is pretty nice . I have something very similar in a 6 panel with the same bottom band around the entire cap..
This does look great on you !

 

[Chepstow]

Randall, Razzman and Che, thanks very much for the kind words about the cap! I really appreciate them!
Che, let see us your cap, please!

T.T, looks great Belas cap on you. You know how to wear it!
