Orangegrad love it, love it, what can you tell me about that newsboy?

gear-guy - I really don't have the history on this hat. But Johnny J who you'll find most often on the Cap Faction thread would probably know a whole lot about it. He has a number of true vintage hats as well as his own creations. If you look on that thread you'll see a "Starflower" cap I wore yesterday - which Johnny based on a 1920s ad showing the cap. His work is flawless.

The western does look good on you TJones - I hope you can find a way to pad it and keep it.

Andy - another fine cap. The doughnut reminds me I need to lose a few pounds :)

Thanks my friend, I appreciate the comment. Yeah, I'm leaning toward keeping the hat. I really like it. I padded the sweat pretty good but the fit still feels a little awkward. Although, after wearing it a little while I don't notice it that much. It's definitely a heck of a hat. Really dense felt.
