City Sport Donegal Tweed: Lord of the Rings Series - Shelob Herringbone

.................................................

Anybody want pups? Interesting comparison with Wigens. Brims are made and padded in an almost identical fashion - surprised me that the brim on the City Sport is actually bigger! Caps also fit on my head very simarly, inspite of the different style.

..................................

Of the caps I've bought so far, the Wigens has surprised me the most in how much I like it and the City Sport is the cap that has lived up most to my expectations. I'm very happy with both of them.

Pardon, which style Wigens is that and material? Great cap.

Looks really good on you Frank... you´re absulutely a Mützenkopf
So wear it with confidence and start buying more from al those brands you can choose from!

Thank you Bela! I really enjoy the cap already. Looking at the leather sweat band you have added it seems like a huge improvement - very good idea!

@Baron, fine looking cap! I like the color.
@ Hepville, great looking cap, the leather is a good idea.
@ Adnamira, I just received a quick reply from Bookster, they hinted that perhaps my Gloucester cap is still there. They will be back on Monday to check and get back to me.

I always wonder why ball cap cloth does get used for summer weight caps. I have some cheap ones that use a light weigh version. New era baseball caps come in all types on designs using this style of cloth. I know people want to have the newsboy more dress than a ballcap but they do have tweed designs in ballcap cloth too.

Thank you guys!
Well I would rather call it freedom of choice instead of improvement. It´s an option to customize my caps the way you want it... if someone wants a cap with a pink dotted lining I even can do that.

I guess in the future I will come up with summer linen caps too. I still have something in mind... I have access to fabrics from a traditional linen weaving mill in Germany. They have some nice narrow loom linens I´ve already used for shirts (in lighter weights). I may see if they have something suitable for me caps.

Pink dotted linings - now that´s something to think about.....

Bela, that sounds good!

A comparsion with a modern 8 panel cap. I have 3 from different brands (juke jive, c+a) and they are all about the same size. You can see the french cap is much bigger.

FFF, maybe you can even upload a photo once the cap on your head.
