Its beauty is almost phenomenal, DJH. I may go back and spend some time there some day. That place is just gorgeous.
My wife feels similarly to Cole's... but you're right, it eventually becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, even for 33 year olds, when one has three kids (one going into middle school-- yikes!) and you start noticing your body is falling apart more every day...!

I see no issues with this cap (hadn't seen the negatives you mentioned). It is very light and not at all stiff, not sure what the gripes were. It is hand made, and there is a minor flaw here or there, nothing that detracts from the wear-ability or look of the cap IMO. Just shows you it is indeed hand crafted.
As to the extra full cut, I think I'd be more likely to wear it with the excess centered in that case, in fact was thinking of the Green Brown & Black like you have, but in the Extra Full for that very reason (see the Cap Faction for more thoughts and pics, just posted there).
Summer is a ways off for you yet (roughly our Winter here North of the Equator for those who hadn't considered the difference). Enjoy your Winter, hope it's milder than it was at my home (then again, I defected to Florida for much of ours!
