What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Ephraim Tutt]

Hell yeah....Irish and Scottish flat caps everywhere on Norfolk Is.

Not a fedora in sight though.

Barney Duffy's restaurant does a damned fine steak too!

Don't look at jtl's, and this one's fuzzy.

That is a beautiful hat, and it looks great on you:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

"It looks like a nice country Style hat"

EphraimTutt, that kind of patchwork cap is one I have not decided to pull the trigger on, yet. It looks (to me) that they have too much going on at once, and may be difficult to combine, too. But you are wearing it well! Works nicely with a causal outfit.

RoninJedi, surely you stood out as one of the most dapper men at the celebration! (As an aside... a trucker cap? Really? Even if it was worn by a teenager, it is hard to think he, or his family, deemed that as appropriate?)

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Yep Torpedo, I do love the patchwork Irish cap. It's lovely quality, well made and comfortable. But you're right - I keep it for casual wear.

As mentioned before, this has been an unseasonable week, but today the sun made a timid aparition, so I took the chance to piece together this summery ensemble... it could well be the last chance this year!

Nice shoes and suit Torpedo!

For me its Pink in the ribbon, and pink on the wall...tickled pink ...

Dapper, Torpedo.

Dapper!

Is that a Hereford style cap? It looks much fuller in cut that mine. I prefer it actually, a splendid cap.

Today, I wore a cap, for a change. This has been a pretty cloudy, rainy and cool week, allowing for woolen material as this one to come out. It is a Bookster flat cap.

No. First time I got in touch with Bookster, I specifically asked if they could make larger versions of their caps. They answered in the affirmative and offered me to do a more generously cut crown in the Hereford and Gloucester styles. They actually gave them a name, after a village or county, like the other styles, but I do not remember it at this moment. These are not in the web, but are made on request- at the same price as the others.

Although not wholly in the vintage style (I think it should be a little fuller and rounder) I do like this better than the commonly seen more compact silohuette flat cap.

I dug out a couple of pics I took when I received the caps, for your reference.

 

[LordBest]

Thanks, I think I will make enquiries about them. I do like the Hereford but I prefer the fuller cut cap.

Good eye, Deputy! Yup, as soon as I made an appearance in that hat, the dog ran off whimpering into the woods...
