The Cap Faction

After Keith's crazed Chinook, this new Borsalino seems sedate, if not even a little drab.

But lets call it classic, instead.

It is a summer hat, but the price was right and it will be 60 today and into the 70s on Saturday, so it isn't completely out of season. It should be perfect for out hot, humid Gulf Coast summers. It couldn't be lighter. I'll channel Ben Hogan and wear it when I play golf. Perhaps it will help my iron play be more like the Wee Ice Man's.









The tag had a brilliant translation from Italian. It reads:

Congratulations! You bought a traditional made hat by precious clothes and manually well-finished. Our product is the result of our passion and experience for an article that has marked epoches and traditions.

Nice cap, Keith! Wild fabric! BTW, great birthday cap as well by Cordova!

jhe888, nice Borsalino, I really like the shape of that cap!

Che, very sharp knitted cap!

jhe - That's a terrific Borso - believe it or not, I've got a similar cap, though you'd never think it from my last wild hair. Goes with your whole ensemble perfectly - great glasses and jacket!

Thanks for the thumbs up, Dale/Barry/Richard!

Just ordered a new black/white herringbone with full leather sweat from Barry Simonds. Love my two early Simonds caps. Looking forward to the new one. Although I love fedoras, it's so windy in my part of the world a good part of the time that caps are a necessity on certain days.

Talented cousins, Che! Loved the video. Sure that wasn't you backflipping across the table?
