The Cap Faction

[The Wiser Hatter]

I am with BK looks more 50's that 30's. The union label would tell you is it australia union? Hard to make out. Nice cap I had one with the big button that I had Johnny put a small button on when he put a sweatband and removed the ear muff's from. I have had that cap for 50 years. Just turned 60 last month.

It's not Aussie, it was an Etsy buy. OK, I'll live with it as being 1950's, I don't love it any less

Happy belated, Ed! I'm 10 years behind ya and gaining fast.

Another charity shop, another 1930s cap. This is another Dunn & Co "The County" cap.

Compare to the one I found in another charity shop last year:

I just received my first Cordova cap today and am thrilled with it! It's made out of lightweight vintage silk from Empire State Silk Corporation. Thanks, Johnny!

Dynamite cap, Jeff - it really suits you. I must admit I was waiting to see that fabric used in a cap, it looks amazing. Thumbs up again, Johnny!

Jeff, nice cap. And nice colour combination with the shirt and tie.

My eight dart flat cap from Simonds, the classiest hat in my collection.

Nice, HatsWV - love the low profile!

Baron Kurtz, is that a reeded sweat on the 1930's Dunn?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Taped.

My first "WOOL" 8 Dart From Cordova. I lean towards the cotton fabrics in the 8 Panel Style but this one is top notch!

Ne Plus Ultra <1926

A whole Newspaper page folded up from 1926. 8 darts but somewhat different placements.

What a beauty, rlk! The color is amazing. And a bonus with the newspaper page - was it inside the cap?

Nice find Robert! Do you have a pic from the top to see the dart placements?
