I don't know if has been mentioned but WC Fields had a caddy in a giant cap in one of the versions of the golf expert.

That's a lotta cap up top and it doesn't fall towards the brim.
We need caps made with that old vintage anti-gravity wool..

Thanks John for sharing that pic with us and Feraud for helping post it up. I like it! So there you can see what was the average size width. 11 or maybe even 12 inches at the widest part? Well, of course, depending on each person's head. For me, a 7 3/8 size, I think it would be like 11 to 12 inches max. to look like the one in that W.C. Fields pic.

Feraud, can you get a close up of that cap?

Here you go Manfred. Man he loves wearing the cap straight on his head doen't he. The straight on head look just looks flat. Both in horizontal and style.

Ed, thanks for posting the photos. I was in hurry yesterday!

Big caps

I ordered one of these in linen and returned it for a smaller diameter. The Big Apple would have worked if I were an artist in Paris
about a hundred years ago. Or, John Lennon.

Does anybody know if the Sicilian coppola style of cap has always been consistent in size since the 19th and early 20th century, or are modern versions smaller too?

This style has always been a smaller cap an other version of the fisherman's cap.
