Back up at Moloa’a for some swimming in the somewhat protected bay. Keep thinking I gotta save the Cordova Straw for special occasions. The beach was plenty special today, in the low 80s, partly cloudy, with a light breeze.

Nice material Eric, what is it?
I like the way the pattern "mutes" the red so it isn't quite so bright. Mr. Cordova has hit another one out of the park!...I would like to share my new Dashing Tweed cap from Cordova Caps. This "red" is very striking...
This new Simonds Caps newsboy with blue herringbone Irish linen, and leather brim arrived just in time to hit the beach.

Thanks EricWOW! Simonds has been offering some dynamite caps of late. The linen and leather combo is pppperfect! The leather sweats offered in the more recent Simonds Caps are a vast improvement.
I really like your new beach cap!

Thanks Eric
I think Berry does good work, and I am happy with both hats he has made for me.
I was expecting a lighter brown leather but the darker leather brim is going on me. I like to see some creative input from the custom makers, and think this is a winner.
Cheers,
David
I really prefer the traditional "Ivy" and "Newsboy" caps over these modern "Duckbill" caps, but I liked the look of this one so much that I just pulled the trigger on one in Navy Blue. I've read a lot of good things about Sterkowski caps here on The Lounge and I hope mine won't be the anomaly.Finally got my Sterkowski linen flat cap. Took exactly a month. And since Canada Post decided not to use the tracking number, it was a nice surprise after making peace with it probably being lost. My first flat cap, I think I shall buy another.

Thanks Eric,David IMO the darker leather would fair better in your neighborhood and environment. I do not imply you carelessly would stain the light leather, rather the local weather would "patina" it quickly. I really do like the cap and am considering inquiring into one. The combo is so darn cool.
Our weather is sooooo warm and humid that it is hard for me to get real motivated to view cap options. I have been reviewing some Dashing Tweed, Harris Tweed and perhaps the more formal wool from Fox Brothers for possible caps for the winter of 2020-21. I have the links at my fingertips on my laptop, but have trouble getting serious about it. I will have to dig in soon or miss the possibility of having some new cap days this coming winter season.
David, your caps and pics are terrific. Cheers sir. Eric -
I generally like the larger brim, wider body caps as well.I really prefer the traditional "Ivy" and "Newsboy" caps over these modern "Duckbill" caps, but I liked the look of this one so much that I just pulled the trigger on one in Navy Blue.
