Is that grosgrain? I have scoured the web site, and have not found it.

Also does anybody have the Herringbone brown and black? It says that it does not have a snap, does it stay in place very well?

HP caps do, indeed, come without snaps. This is no problem at all for the crown to stay in place; and, if you like to tilt them, you have no unsigthly snaps appearing. No stiffener inside the bill, neither; but you can shape them quite well, and they can be rolled up very well.

That is grosgrain. They are great people (pun intended.) I am sure they would be happy to reply to an email if we can't answer your questions. I believe the brown and black herringbone is new. So it might be tough to find someone here who has it.

That cap is wild, Torpedo!


I'm very excited, as I've just been notified that my very first cap, from Hat People, will be sent out in the mail tomorrow!

awesome. I love a new cap... what did you get?

Well, with my pale complexion and love of earthtones, I decided on the Herringbone (green, brown and black) in the full cut. It's the one smack dab in the middle of the page of their catalogue. :)

Don't forget pics!!! I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I haven't forgotten :). This will be my first cap, and I'd be glad to share it as well as hear the thoughts of my fellow Loungers, as I know nothing at all about caps (I decided on the name Neophyte for a reason lol).

Neo,
Youv'e beeen buying hats like a sailor buys drinks at a bar after coming ashore from 6 mo's at sea !! :) I think you'll find that cap far more practical on campus and it will become your "go-to" hat for class :)

lol I couldn't take it anymore! Since I started wearing hats in June 2010 I've averaged about one new hat a month. Then, I stopped purchasing anything after the Lightning Ridge (or BGCD, whichever came last) in late October...all that pent-up headwear desire burst out of me once I was at Buckaroo Hatters this past weekend. Two Buckaroo hats and a Hat People cap almost simultaneously...it feels good :D!

I hope that what you say becomes true. My fedoras and westerns are practical everywhere on campus except in the actual classroom, where there is rarely a good place to put them down. :)

When i got back from the U of Vietnam in 70, I went back to school and wore a flat Irish Tweed cap all the time. Was GREAT as you could take it off and fold it up and put it in your pack or pocket, and worked out FAR better with a hood on a parka when it got REALLY cold and was GRAET on a bicycle ! :) You'll like it I'm sure :)

Onward thru the Fog :)
