The music is fine! I agree with Ed, it's the floppy button on the top of the cap. Nothing that a needle and thread can't fix.

Silly question, but couldn't you just tap the button down?
It's a metal loop. There are no loose threads or stitching in this cap. The button is like it because of the way it's designed, not the quality of how it is made.
I was thinking that it was a button with almost like a metal "tack" on the underside, which in this case is under the lining.
What do you all think of this line from Boardwalk Empire, as said to Al Capone:
"You are a man, yet you wear the cap of a boy."
I didn't see the episode, so I have no idea about the intent with which the line was delivered, but I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Chevalier. It seems to me to be more of a comment on Capone's social standing and/or position within the organization's hierarchy, i.e., "If you want to be taken seriously you should wear the clothing of a businessman."Don't know. Flat caps were the caps of men who did manual work and/or did things in the countryside: shooting, hiking, golfing, driving, etc. Flat caps weren't meant to be worn while engaged in white-collar work.
Ah, this old chestnut again. Medically speaking, the only way hats contribute to baldness is if the band is so tight that it restricts or eliminates blood flow to the hair follicles....and apparently tight hats can contribute to baldness.
Thanks to Lefty for posting this auction that had closed without an opening bid.
