Gorgeous caps, Alan, but you may have overdone the ventilation on your summer shirt...

Fortunately, I have a backup. ;^)

Swell caps!

The linen with the variances in the thread thickness and weave is just eye catching. Lovely is the word that comes to my mind. Having a liner to match a shirt - brilliant!

The red cap is a stunner. That model really allows the fabric to take front stage when wearing the cap. Keith's, K.Lo Blue fame, caps have a size and heft that I really enjoy. They draw the eye.

I can not wait to hear of and see the adventures that your cap has.

Congrats Alan on the two new caps. Eric -

This is a mighty nice one, Brent. Is it a recent acquisition? I got a couple of caps from B Wear about 10 years ago. They were very well made, especially for the price. I still have one of his "Wild One" style biker caps, though it rarely gets any head time these days.

Wearing a Zasu work/railroad cap made from a sturdy cotton duck material like the carhartt pants I usually wear to work. The stuff is practically bulletproof.

weared a Chinese made wool/cotton blend and soft brim cap on my way work this morning, and photo it now. I just consider it as crushable for its soft.

Thanks. The hatter lives on the same road as my office! I met up with him (Brett) and we worked out the details. Two-day completion time for a custom made cap! I think he’s $35 for standard and $50 for the full-cut. Quite the bargain. I’ve eyed his biker caps too, but I don’t know when I’d wear it.

Fantastic cap, Eric. Looks perfect for chilly weather. It pairs well with that coat. Are there more pics/details about it (the coat) around the lounge somewhere?

Thanks Dale. The jacket is a Filson Cape Coat. I have had it only a couple of years and find I wear it quite a bit. I really like it. For temps down to 40'f it is excellent. Today, with temps in the 20'f with wind, I am wearing a Filson Mackinaw. Heavier wool with it's advantages and disadvantages.

Not today, but for the last couple of weeks I've worn this cheap Newhattan grey cotton Ivy cap to work:

It's comfortable, but so poorly constructed that it doesn't fit quite right and the crown kinda' hangs off to the right (my right that is). So, work cap. If anything were to happen to it, I wouldn't be too heartbroken.

And in my off hours for the last several days I've been wearing this grey Herringbone Ivy cap made by Walrus Hats:

Yes, you read that right, Walrus Hats.

I really like this cap except for one thing. Walrus Hats uses generic sizing--small, medium, and so on--and despite my best guess using their "hat sizing guide" I chose poorly and the hat is too loose for my head and won't stay put. So my best friend got a new cap because it fit him perfectly and he'd been looking for a new Ivy cap anyway.

Lucky for me, Village Hat Shop's store in Long Beach had this nearly identical cap in stock on Saturday:

Made by Brixton Hats, this is their "Hooligan" model in grey and black Herringbone. Lighter in weight than Walrus Hats' version, it's also a bit more comfortable and actually stays on my head.
