Based on those photos, I'd guess Hat People's Full Cut will drape similarly to your B!Wear caps. I've been hesitant to order from B!Wear because I don't care for the narrow brim they favor, but I've since seen quite a few of their caps with what I consider to be a "normal" width brim for a flat cap, so I might have to reconsider.

West Whittier here, about a mile south of the southernmost part of Rose Hills Cemetery. :D

I was was also hesitant seeing other loungers pic's of the brim that is why I went with "Rocky" as suggested by Brett, it has brim size I was looking for and the drape is really nice.

Heck! were neighbors!:) I am often over in those parts for work I will need to keep an eye out for a dapper fellow sporting a cap or fedora!:D

So many hats not enough time!

Great posts here of late! Nice to see new faces cappin' it up.

I want to thank Dostioffsky for posting the cap images from the Gemeentemuseum! I'm keen to try and make that design...

See ya round, fellas!

got it on sale for $12 free ship.
Not vintage but one of my favorites, just shows you that you don't have to shell out $$$$ for a good lookin lid.

I have a couple of Hat People caps. The are basic an serviceable cap's. Nothing to get excited about. But before Johnny J started making caps we didn't have many choices. [emoji3] I am very picky about caps and want leather sweatbands and good bills with the proper length. I am not a fan of the mushroom cap or ones with big buttons on top.

Is the second picture also a "Hat People" cap? Also are those the full or extra full cut's?

Thanks

These are all Johnny's cap's and ones I wear everyday to work.
I was Johnny's sounding board for cos when he started and we are really hard core cap wearers.
Most caps I see people wear I would not even put on my head. The bill of the cap has to be at least 5 inches and the crown has to be 10.5 inches so that I can cock the cap. I a cap sitting square on ones head looks silly to be. One must have an attitude when wearing a fine vintage style cap.
Because you will draw attention to yourself by just wearing a great cap. An you must own it. [emoji3]
