The Harold Cap
Johnny J
the brim is really stiff dont know what it is made of.
gotta work some character in it.
if this cap had a leather sweatband it would be killer.
not a fiftys & up cut.... straight up old school
depression era cut

well yes...
for a repop yes, but you cant compare this to mr freedom but at less than half there price there great for me. I have a horsehide mr freedom cap & it is a killer cap ! its a diffrent style 6 panel. but back to this cap. i want to see what the twill looks like because i would have 2 examples to check for constincacy, the mailman passed no 2nd hat yet.
i think rlk ordered a couple & i would have more respect of his take on these.
remember these have that depression look that current hat makers except mr freedom cant or dont know whats up.
so this is good thing for us..... im not a cap pro though i have a lot vintage & bespoke made for me & its a good cap
I got my 2ndcap brown twill type fabric in also. i like it more than the herringbone wool cap.Got my Retro Sport from France today and I do like it very much! Will post pics later tonight.
Pics of the Retro Sport Cap.
The front looks fine, but the side view is a deal-breaker for me: looks 'unfinished' at the sweatband area.
Johnny JI will post another pic of the inside too. IMO its just too hard to get an original vintage 30s cap in my size (7 3/8) and this one looks ALOT better than other repro's I've seen and tried on.
cap in there logo looks great but dont really see it in there models
Their peak caps look nice. The big French peak is a great looking cap.cap in there logo looks great but dont really see it in there models
