The Old Town Canvey cap is a suggestion you might want to look into, holds great shape and is very comfortable. For under $80 Canadian I thought the price was reasonable.

Hey Metatron! My first two caps were Jaxon's.... one in Brown Herringbone, one in Grey. Servicable, warm, well lined. Like a fur felt Fedora, something to grab and wear without worry. Not a "cheapskate" move by any means...

Found at thrift store today. 8 panel newsboy, made in USA but no name. Not old and appears to be a cheapy, but it fits and I love the colors!

Hey, nice one Metatron! Great color cord and the size gives you more of a French casquette look. At the end of the day it's not about the price but about finding something that feels good on your head, and is adjustable enough to give you some options on how to wear it.

PS: love the Heart of Glass avatar!

Glad you guys like it.
Yes, Werner Herzog is my favourite director!
Heart of glass is actually painful to watch, what with all the townsfolk going crazy and talking nonsense,
but has some magical moments, and is of course beautifully shot.

This cap from Stetson is called the Manny or Many according to which site your on. It is made in Germany of lamb skin and is very soft. This cap retails for about the same as a Stetson fedora but I paid well below that so I am happy.

It has a pre-curved brim that is sewn to the bill.

I like the soft flannel interior.

Also a New Cap for me!

It's a modern balke Cap. Balke is a hat and Cap
Manufacturer from Germany. This Cap is in an Old Style and very inexpensive. I paid 29 EUR for that Cap. A Stetson Cap would cost 69 EUR.
This Cap was made in Italy for Balke.
A good and well Made Cap for that Price.

Also new to me, ( I posted this Cap in the German and Austrian Hats thread ) Luzena Cap. Very nice Cap, never worn. I guess it is old stock.
The Cap has no Label inside and so wie have no answer who made it. I guess it's the Lunzenauer Mützenfabrick Kern.
Look the Cap logo and the City Logo both are the same!
I think It's a 50s Cap!

Sweet caps guys.
Chepstow I rrally like the fabric of the Balke.
JOB & Seabass the leather caps are awesome. I see yours was formerly owned by Carlos Santana, Seabass, nice little peice of RnR memorabilia. I have an old Ford and folks regularly feel the need to knock on my door and ask if I want to sell it (anyone else with an old ride ever experience this phenomenon?). Anyways, last new years day some dude knocks on my door and wants to know if I want to trade the galaxie for a guitar once owned by Santana. Your cap made me think of that story.
