Yeah, Botvela’s really good honestly! And for the price you can pick up a couple at once. Plus they have vintage-inspired good shape to them. That massive Capas cap, laid flat, measures over 12 in which is huge on a short hobbit like me, I like it but I’m going to “grow” into it a little. When the Cordova comes I’m hoping it’ll be a little smaller on the head.I do think both this and the Cordova Newsboy (above) look good on you and appear to fit you well, but I have to agree with your wife that the Botvela's more modest proportions look better on you. I had been eyeing those myself recently, and I think your post just might have convinced me to get one...or two...or...
I think it looks great! I love a big, floppy cap, 20s style, but it can take getting used to at first. Like a fedora or anything, really. Berets took me a bit to get into the swing of - now I think they look way better on me, but that's all a confidence thing, really.
I have a couple of these myself - the mid brown colour, and the black. I do wish mine were a couple of inches wider, but they really are surprisingly good for the money, great for kicking around in in the Summer. I've been really pleased with mine; next year I might pick up a couple more. I'm very attracted to the burgundy / wine one, that might be next...
That’s the funny thing, I never felt weird with a fedora but a big floppy cap…yeah…a little. Especially odd since I started wearing Newsboys in middle school. How is the mid brown? I was looking at the khaki, then Florida heat broke me (for the 100th time this week) and I decided to try their dark grey and beige herringbone linen caps which should be here soon. The wine is an awesome color but I don’t know if I could do a hat in that color! Maybe a nice wine neckerchief to go with the caps.
