Thank you TT! Those pleated caps are pretty sharp and what also makes it nice is that no one makes them so you have a unique cap.

'Black Sheep'

I recently watched a Ukrainian film. It made no sense (it was a tv mini-series cut down from 4 hours to 2 hours for DVD release) but it had lots of caps.

I rather like the eastern European style of flat cap.

I have been reading this board all week and I must say it has been very informative. I decided to make a profile so I can ask questions and hopefully post some pictures when I get my new hat after I order it. I wanted to ask a few questions about Hanna Hats before I order it. I am a flat hat kind of guy. I have two Kangol hats but they are the newer style flat cap / baseball hat style and I want to get more of a older style hat. After reading on this board and looking at all the different companys out there I feel that Hanna Hats Vintage style or the Tailor Cap is what I am looking for. I love the Herringbone look but I would like to get one that is light green or has a green tint. Does anyone know if the colors they have would be green Herringbone. From one of the pictures it looks kinda green but it's hard to tell from pictures. And my other question is what fabric would be suitable for the American summer? I want one thats wool but I know it would be to hot for the summer so should I get one thats linen?


Thank you for any help you can provide and if you think there is a better hat maker than Hanna let me know I havent ordered anything yet.

Can make a Cap Appropriate to your needs.
They have the fabrics that are natural wools or linens etc & can customise the linings to keep the cap cooler or warmer..

I just played around & made these videos so you can see a custom cap in action Enjoy !

Both of those look great but they are a little out of my price range right now.

Here's a pic of me relaxing in my den The Cap is from Next, a shop I don't think I'd ever find anything else worth wearing in. However the cap is super.
