The American Hatter Nov. 1928
I got my daughter a Hatpeople cap for Christmas. It is the full cut. She actually likes to push it all the way back, rather than pulling it over the brim like the men do. I think she is cute as a button in it!

Moments ago I ordered the Herringbone newsboy (green, brown and black) cap in Full cut from HatPeople! I'm very excited, yet I know very little about the company, the product, or the process. I will be going through this particular thread all the way through, but while I'm reading, I'd like to bolster my search by asking a question or two.
First of all, I was wondering if someone could inform me of the average wait time from the time of ordering to the reception of the package at the doorstep, or at least a ballpark estimate. Secondly, I'd like to ask your general impressions regarding the warmth of these hats, as I ordered this cap as an alternative to a fedora when the weather gets too cold and windy .
Thank you all for your time and consideration. I'm very excited to soon be joining The Cap Faction!
Hey Neophyte. I think when I've ordered from Hat People (two separate occasions), I received the hat within about two weeks. They say they have a bunch of the hats near completion in stock, but just need to sew the headband together to fit the size requirements and cut.
Overall I'd say the caps are decently warm. They do fine for here in Albuquerque where I've probably worn them in weather as cold as 20 degrees or so. Now for much colder, they probably wouldn't do as well as heavier material with ear covers.
Hope that helps.
Thank you sir! That was immensely helpful. It seems my money, as well as my confidence, was well place .

Actually, after reading the information provided on their website, I have only one question left for you. I'd like to ask your general impressions regarding the warmth of these hats, as I ordered this cap as an alternative to a fedora when the weather gets too cold and windy .

A Basque Beret is warmer Glad to see you branching out from your CD/BOP vein!!! I've a couple of Irish Tweed brimmed caps that I have worn in the winter for years. Not a Newsboy style though I have been giving some thought to one of The Hat Peoples caps. BTW, a tweed cap/Beret worn under a the hood of a nice down parka is a VERY WARM combo when the cold winds blow!! MUCH WARMER than ANY felt hat for sure !!!
I had been looking for my first real boot (i.e., not the hiking variety) during my family's trip to Vegas over New Years, and found a nice weatherproof Johnston&Murpy model. In the same shop I found some newsboy/drive style caps. I liked how I looked in the Newsboy, but it was way too expensive (their model was $130 :eeek and too big (sized XL).
I remembered HatPeople being mentioned on The Cap Faction many times, and I figured that since I'm about to spend so much money on a Buckaroo custom, I might as well go for a HatPeople semi-custom at the same time lol. Seriously, I love TFL and the wealth of available information !
Johnston & Murphy huh ? Those are some nice expensive boots Wore their cap toe oxfords when I used to wear suits at work years ago. I wear Justin Ropers with my kahkis now days. Just as comfortable, but not as expensive. ( it's nice to live 15 miles from the factory outlet store )

Hat People are fairly warm but not winter caps. I can feel a strong breeze through them.
I just got one of the green herringbone caps. It's warm but a good wind goes right through it. I'm about to order one their black heather caps, which they say is the heaviest wool they have, but I still think a felt hat will be warmer
Neophyte,
I've been on the verge of pulling the trigger on that exact hat since Christmas. It will be my first newsboy. Please post some pics when it arrives.
