From Simonds. It is linen, and linen lined. The color is even a little richer golden brown, but I can't quite get it right in the photos. It is very nicely made.

Simonds' own picture may be a little closer in color, but is a little too orange or yellow.

Feelin' green... New 8 dart cap in 1940's wool, 1930's kimono silk liner, leather visor and full sweat, vintage snap.

That is a good one. Great color.

new vintage cap for Moco

2 piece leather sweat with a open articulated section in between for adjustment for the brim belt

232323232%7Ffp83232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv6564%3Dot%3E7%3A77%3D487%3D34%3B%3DXROQDF%3E28372%3C38%3B825%3Aot1lsi

"the better kind" logo & 2 stripes are embossed into the leather & the front piece of leather is folded back.
Simonds does this to his leather sweats & I noticed it is very comfy & supports the break / drape between body to brim
which results in a cool side profile or pull to the side angle (articulation)

old school detail on buckle & snap

Krazy fabric & weave, any guesstimate to its age gents ??

Moco digs it & it is adjustable so he will have a few years use as he grows he is 2 & 1/2 now.

the boys do take care of there hats well
but
for the kids I do prefer fabric sweats verses leather as I can dry clean EZ so this cap wont be a daily accessible

Where you been, Bro Cavefish?

don't really have any new lids , just sporting the ones i have, , some fine ones have went by but none fit my style

mikespens · May 3, 2014

Once again Moco proves to be the kid with the lid. Helps g-pappy has great taste and connections. That is one of my favorite vintage caps seen here so far.

alanfgag · May 3, 2014

a beauty for sure... worn with Moco's typical panache. The kid's a natural. :eusa_clap
