What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

Yesterday I stopped at the bakery for some bread and fresh squeezed orange juice to bring home and make a lunch. I wore the Fox Brothers gun club check wool cap yesterday.

New cap from my visit to Delmonico Hatter.

Wigen's blue herringbone newsboy. 100% Shetland Wool. Wigen's calls it a classic newsboy with a model name of "Gottfried".

It's seems to vary in coloring appearance depending on the lighting. Sometimes it looks Grey and other times it's definitely blue.

I was a little hesitant about buying it. Simply because it's very similar to a Grey herringbone Gamble & Gunn cap that I already own. But the price was heavily reduced because it was 2020 stock. So I then I just had to buy it. Lol

I like the hue of the herringbone wool. Shetland wool, from Shetland Sheep have a heavier fiber, is very durable and hearty. I see blue, black and gray in your images. I bet it will be very easy to pair with your hiking and outdoor clothing. It looks very sleek on the head.

Cheers. Thanks for sharing.

Fabric has been ordered for future caps commissioned by Cordova. Below are pics of the Fox Brothers fabrics.

I have not asked when they will be completed. I intended the caps to be worn starting in the Fall 2022.

Thanks, I'm becoming a fan of Shetland wool. It feels softer and seems to breathe better than Harris tweed.

I've worn it recently on 80 degree F days and it hasn't been too hot.

Blue, Grey and Brown seem to be my favorite color's to date. I haven't gotten accustomed to wearing Black caps yet.

Have you figured out how to ride that bike, drink expresso and wear a cap at the same time.

Yesterday early evening we set a record temp of 92'f. Evening found humid temps with storms rolling through my neighborhood. An unlined cap was a good choice.

I was inspired to wear a red shirt back to work after seeing a Scarlet Tanager in the yard when home for lunch.

Another great looking cap. Love the pattern with possibly arrows between the segments. Very nice,.

I really like that "Wabash Dot" pattern, especially when the hatter knows how to use it to their advantage. Ahh, maybe one of these days...

Sharp cap. Your pics shows a man who you do not wish to mess with. Thanks for sharing your leather cap escapades.


Yesterday morning my errands (car wash, groceries, liquoir store and hardware store). A Cordova Cap (Fox Brothers Covet Cloth) was my cap choice.

I really like that color. I imagine that, much like a "mid-range" gray, that shade of tan/brown can be worn with almost anything in a person's wardrobe. Nice!

Agreed - it is my most versatile cap. The worsted wool makes it my nicest cap showcasing wool, appearance, luxuriousness in hand and durability. https://www.themerchantfox.co.uk/products/fox-classic-covert-cloth

Yesterday I headed out in a Cordova Cap made with Fox Brothers while cricket flannel.

A Dashing Tweed cap was the cap choice for today.

The material I really get a kick out of. On my escapades today folks gave plenty of cap compliments. My challenge is when I say "Dashing Tweed." Other words for "Dashing" are debonair, jaunty, raffish, sporty, or stylish. Those words are not me.
