The Cap Faction

Newsboy Caps????

Love them, always have. I have seven. Is that excessive or a normal amount to have? Received another this morning. Love it.

Please look at the first two pages of the hat forum. You will find several highly trafficked threads on the subject.

Here is my Sterkowski cap.

They call this style the 'beret cap' which alludes to it's large, round crown.
I am very pleased with it. The crown is not attached to the brim, however, due to it's size it is not liable to flip up like a peaked hat.
It very adjustable, and naturally drapes to one side when you put it on. It also exposes the brim in a way that I find more flattering than a cap which is completely covered by the crown.
The lining is viscose and it has a split leather sweatband. There is no quilting or polyester insulation, which is as it should be with a quality wool cap, as the wool does all the insulating and the viscose lining lets it breathe.
No bells or whistles, a bread and butter cap in a versatile grey flannel.

Nice cap, Metatron. I like my Sterkowski a lot.

Very nice, Metatron! I love those Sterkowski caps.

 

[Metatron]

Thank you!
It's good to see more manufacturers go for the wider look, and dare I say the Fedora Lounge has some influence on the market.

Agree, worn with aplomb

I think I wear this one more confidently that I did my less conspicuous caps. Seems counter-intuitive, but a wider cap just suits me more!

Great looking cap, Metatron!

 

[GregNYC]

Good looking. I agree with you about more brim. And I like it to one side too!

I'm waiting for more from Simonds, as well as my first caps from Damian and Johnny! I broke down and bought a cashmere and silk Stetson newsboy yesterday. I'll try to snap a photo tomorrow!

Like it Richard how do you like the construction of the cap.

Like it Richard how do you like the construction of the cap.

It's ok but the sweat seems cheapened out, could they run out of cows in Poland?

At least it is leather and in the brim not plastic

Looks awesome. I like the color, too.

Nothing exciting or unique but I added a Harris Tweed Hanna Hat to my collection. It is their newer touring style which has a slimmer look and a slightly narrower brim. I liked it very much when I purchased it and having read about the manufacturing methods of Harris tweed I learned to like it even more. It is in a chameleon weave of a colour and can look blue or grey or even a bit black depending on the light.

I hope to add a green and a tan weave in the near future.

Got my "Spokane" by Monsivais a few days ago. I like it. Here are some various views of it.....
