That's your spot for your newly acquired CAS, Steve @Steve1857 Welcome to the club, my friend ;) You gotta love the flat caps!

Some serious ribbon work there, Steve! Amazing find

Eric, Rick, you guys are in a different league! It doesn't get any better than this. Thanks for sharing your cap adventures

First thing that came to mind, was the Thomas Farthing too :) Though this one is probably two ribbons sewed together there're vintage examples of very wide ribbons. Most of which I can recall are finished with a backbow though.

It's been a while since I last showed up here. Been focusing exclusively on felts and my cap collection remained on beginer levels. Thought to stop by again, this time with some new gets in wider, vintage esque cuts. Still unsure if I qualify for your company just yet but bear with me, more to...

Nothing really to think twice there. Definitely a keeper my friend. Love the contrasting trims

Fantastic, Stefan! Your recent posts reminded me of the old good days of regular stellar finds

Looking forward to seeing those when you get them, Randy! Keep us posted

Thank you, gentlemen, much appreciated! Seems to me that besides personal preferences, the materials used, head shape and how low or high caps vs felts sit on head might account too Rick, thanks! It's a long overdue, but I am getting there ;) Ahh, TFL and enablers...as if hanging around these...

I am wondering, do you guys go for the same size as your felts for your customs? My off the rack caps seem to be 1-2 sizes larger

You wear all different styles, materials, colors well, Rick! Very cool!

I think there's a similar thread somewhere, roughly speaking, when you have to remove the piles from bed to sleep and back on again in the morning

The high tapered crown was pretty common on the very early up/rolled-brimmed/transitional style soft felts From American catalogs, late 1800s-very early 1900s Judging by style itself doesn't always do it right and I don't know if the size label or any other particular detail narrows it down...

Your cap collection is sight for sore eyes, Eric! A pure pleasure

Thank you, Steve! No JHS mention on the paper label too (just went really quick through your site). Btw, I never get tired of seeing these beauties! Those two Loden Mode huts are top of my list of favourite hats showed here
