The Cap Faction

[Lukacs]

53 degrees, breezy with a light rain for this morning's 5 mile hike.

Wore my dark grey Donegal tweed cap from Gamble and Gunn.

Ordinarily, I'd wear one of my Akubra hats in rainy weather. But this cap has been a bit tight since I bought it.

The wetter it got, the farther I pulled it down on my head.

After I was done, i blotted off the excess water. I'll wear it around the house until it dries. View attachment 469811 View attachment 469813 View attachment 469812

I’ll remember that technique. Nice day for a hike in December.

Just got this Chinese domestic product flat cap off ebay for £8, it's surprisingly nice quality, and the cut is quite vintage, it's more a royal blue in person i will post more pics on monday of me wearing it. it would be fascinating to hear how it ended up in the UK

The gent second left in this picture is wearing a very similar, if not exact cut of cap

Just got this new linen newsboy in the mail today, made by Capas, sold by Mike the Hatter, and really pleased! Feels a loooot larger than I’m used to with newsboys but I think it looks pretty authentic 1920s.

Very nice cap! I'll be sure to look at Cordova Caps. Thank you!

Very excited that this Thomas Farthing newsboy is on it’s way!

Waiting for the cap from Thomas Farthing but in the meantime this cotton Botvela in khaki is keeping my hair company.

Really digging that plaid!

I picked up this vintage Harley-Davidson cap recently. I don't know exactly how old it is, but it's old enough to be sized like a proper hat.

Thank you, the colors are really nice, kind of loud and subtle at the same time!

Another new linen cap from Thomas Farthing! It’s one of their “mid-width” styles, 11in crown. Maybe not my favorite pattern but I love the shape and very comfy.

I like your new linen cap. It appears that the cap has a liner. The cap has a grand shape and body. Cheers!

Excellent fabric and pattern on your new light weight cap. Your cap rack is filling quickly.

Cheers, Eric. -

It’s a really comfy cap, and certainly a head turner surrounded by ball caps everywhere.

Very nice, like an adventurous sea-dog on holiday!

Haha, that's what I was going for!

Funny enough, but the last couple years I've found an actual NEED for wearing linen caps in the summer. I never noticed when I was younger, but my hair is so dark, it just sucks in the heat of the sun.

Same way here, linen and cotton caps all the way, especially after sweating through the only Panama I’ve ever found that I liked.
