What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

[jonesy86]

it rained most of the day yesterday. The sun came out for about an hour and a half, just time enough to run down to the beach and get in a good swim. The waves were breaking pretty far off shore, so i had to swim way out to get past the large waves and surfers. Very choppy out there, so I only got in one lap.
Simonds linen cap stayed on my head despite the 28 MPH winds.

A classic cap. I bet the leather smell is enjoyable.

Out for Sushi Saturday in a Cordova cap made from an old Donegal tweed jacket.

That is one of my fav caps of yours - all about the fabric.

Yesterday I was capped for work adventures. McGee Donegal Tweed cap from Cordova has been getting a lot of wearing.

Cheers, Eric -

Wore a Dashing Tweed fabric'd cp for some work escapades this afternoon and evening.

The wind called for a cap while taking a walk and this Sterkowski was closest to hand:

Nice!

I just bought a tan colored one like that. Totally impressed with the quality of it. I'm already considering another of a different style.

Inspired by Brent @deadlyhandsome I broke out the new Sterkowski cap for the afternoon. They call this model the "Harley" but I'm looking a little more "old lighthouse keeper" than "outlaw biker" in it, I'm afraid.

Love it, Dale. I don’t know any lighthouse keepers, but there’s little to nothing about outlaw bikers I’d want to emulate.

I think “Harley” is a lighthouse keeper’s name somewhere in a sea story. Maybe.
Great hat, Dale!

'Harley' doesn't necessarily mean 'outlaw' biker. Similar type of caps were worn during the 1940s by Harley riders.

I know I don’t conflate the two groups. Most of the Harley riders I run into are middle aged men and a great many are respected professional people. The 1%ers are another matter all together.

Sterkowski got me hooked a couple years ago. I'm waiting on another one now, a red waxed cotton Harley rider cap. They also have a red waxed cotton peaky blinder now, that will be next.

Auto shopping found me wearing a Dashing Tweed cap.

Cutting some small tree limbs this morning. Appropriate work fabric’d cap was my choice. Love this Cordova Cap.

Later and back at work, I went out for coffee to rev me up for the remainder of the work evening in a Fox Brothers Covert cloth Cordova cap.

Cheers, Eric -

That grain is beautiful! Perfect for that cap.

20+ mph winds made a Robert Mackie balmoral in lovat green the right choice for today’s river hike.

Received my new Skerkowski today, added a hat pin and I'm set. Really pleased with this one.

My denim Wiseguy cap arrived from Australia this past week. Sweet wearing cap in a very sleek style.

Even with the recent strong winds and intermittent rain, I have managed to get in some good swimming when the water temperature is warmer than the air. This Monsivais one piece leather bill is a bit heavier and works well when it is cooler and windy.

Just hanging out at home this Easter Sunday, but wore a semi-calado Panama hat during the day yesterday. Cooler in the evening, and out with friends for dinner I wore my first cap from Jonathan Cordova.

I must be breaking the warranty. “Casquettes deLuxe, Sport and Travel” built by K.Lo Boe for The Well Dressed Head. It doesn’t say work, sport and travel. It is not the first time I am guilty of product unintended useage.

More seriously, the Wise-Guy denim cap is working out to be a grand cap. It is a sleeker vintage style and hence it occupies a special place on my cap rack.
Work chores (cleaning or relocating leaf, pine cone debris) were “easy-peasy.”

Cheers from a master of unintended use, Eric -
