I am so liking this. Quite a change for me. I have never worn a cap. EVER. Opinions? Ideas? HELP PLEASE. I'm definitely liking this style and fabric and considering this other fabric. Thanks.

Bob,
I like caps as an alternative to fedoras. Plus here in Korea, they stay attached better in the high wind. I have the exact same Donegal tweed and love it.

Before you pull the trigger on one, I'd suggest you try to find a local hat shop that carries hats in this style and try a few on first. The reason I mention it is this--I rather like my "Newsboy" caps and think they look okay on me. But their cousin the "Ivy" cap, not so much. For my best friend, the opposite is true--he owns a few Ivy caps and looks quite good in them, but Newsboy caps don't quite look right on him.
Sharp cap, by the way. Either material (or both) would be welcome on my head.

Very nice, Bob!! I'm a giant fan of that black and white fabric myself, but I think you definitely have the right kind of head to carry it on, either cloth you choose.

Thank you RJR. I'm liking his work and thinking that for a first cap the brown will b more versatile.

I'm noticing a lot of Ivy caps on younger guys these days. I saw three just today on the campus where I teach.

Hey everyone....
Found a recent acquisition at a local Thrift store. No label so I'm not sure of the size or materials, but it fits my 7 3/4 a bit snuggly. I assume it's a wool/polyester blend and has a silk lining. Here are some pics. Only a few bucks, so I couldn't resist

Bob, that cap you pictured is flipp'in nice! I particularly like that fabric.
All I have now are a few (relatively) inexpensive newsboys. Ivy's, duck-bills, etc. don't do it for me, though I know some folks that they look great on.
Just happened to be wearing this Uncle Ruby's today. A bit of angle is everything with these lids.
