What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

[jonesy86]

I had Hanna Hats make me a simple Irish Linen 8 piece cap. Pretty simple, utilitarian yet stylish summer wear for my tropical life. I'm going to have them make me an 8 piece linen patchwork cap next if they are willing. I like their work.
The Trade Winds died down but left some pretty big waves for me to venture into. A little dangerous, but very exhilarating.

It is, but good grief! Stevenson's wife looks like Dennis Hopper in drag!

Yes, I've often wondered what he saw in her, but he went through a lot because of her. I guess it was a case of the camera failing to pick up the energy of someone, which I've seen happen. I've always liked his definition of marriage, though: "A friendship authorized by the police."

Just came today in time to take to Kahili Beach in a wide bay with just enough waves to make it interesting.
I am hoping to get another in indigo with a leather brim, though I have trouble imagining a better cap. The straw is quite refined, yet let’s in the breeze, and this cap Is both light and Summery, as well as dressy and formal.

Cordova cap. Great fit and very comfortable with a wonderful Irish made diamond tweed pattern.

What pattern is this cap, an 8 dart?

Yes, it's a one piece design with 8 darts. If you're interested, I know Jonathan had ordered some of this material in when he made my cap. He might have some left.

That fabric is smashing. The many hues are perfect for pairing with different attire. That is a terrific cap and material choice.

Congrats to you and the artisan! Cheers, Eric -

You look killer in the cap. The cap is amazing. You described having a breeze thru the cap and I heartily concur. What a cap! Congrats!

My similar cap is a fav. I have even sourced a hard hat box for storing the cap. I like the cap and do not wish to love it to an early death. It got the most wear of my caps last warm season.

Home from a dog soiree, I am enjoying a cup of the hard to find Costa Rican single blend coffee. Best Dressed Head cap and I are smiling and smiling and smelling the roses.

Cheers. Be safe, be strong and see you on the streets soon, Eric -

I took my WDH Hemp down to the South Shore looking for big waves, had a great fathers day...didn't drown.
I swam way out to where some surfers were pretty far off shore on a reef break, got caught in a current that swept me away from the beach, couldn’t swim back, had to come to shore over the rocks and got scraped up a bit. I took it as a warning to be more careful.

Very cool fabric, Jonesy!

 

[jonesy86]

Thanks, I wasn't really sure what I was getting as the photo on their web page was not great. I am pleased with what showed up.

Thanks Doug, the color pops in person, more than on a screen. I like the shape as well, and it seems well made, especially for an off the shelf hat.
