What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

Short Balding Guy · Jul 19, 2020

Heading out in the property to pick up branches that fell during our storm and wind event last night. A Monsavais cap on my head for the task ahead.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

I generally like the larger brim, wider body caps as well.

Yes, and no. I don't like my Ivy and Newsboy caps to be so narrow on the sides that they're almost like a ball cap, but I also don't like the look of the way they were worn 100 years ago when they had a lot of excess material on the sides of the crown. There's a semi-narrow margin between "too narrow" and "too wide" for me, but I know it when I see it.

SBG has his pine trees, jonesy has his beaches, I have my grocery store parking lot. Late night mid-week milk run in a vintage linen Cavanagh:

I took my new Royal Blue Linen Cordova Cap out today for a field/beach test, and it passed with flying colors. Yes indeed the soft brim is very comfortable and will hold most any shape, and the light weight of the linen is quite cool. Another great cap by Jonathan Cordova!

Great minds think alike @jonesy86

Mine is on the way!

You are going to like that linen, It feels even lighter and cooler than the straw caps.

DANG! You fellows linen caps are gorgeous! The blue fabric certainly pops, but the details of the caps are extraordinary.

My Cordova cap arrived yesterday... 2nd hottest day of the year at 98°F. Day before was 100°. I never went out of the house, except to open the door and grab the box from the mailman.

I wore the cap around the house a little. Linen is very light and airy. Another great cap from Jonathan Cordova.

The damn hurricane messed up my local beach, the water is kinda nasty with all the runoff, and it is humid as heck. However, my Cordova Cap is really comfy, and the all leather sweat band kept it on my head in the wind as the storm passed by just to the North of the island. Life is good.

Good to hear you and the island were spared. Kauai is where my wife and I had our honeymoon, and it just so happened a hurricane was threatening to hit around the same time we were to arrive. I had half an eye on the island weather on my wedding day in case our flight would be delayed. It ended up veering out to sea and had a somewhat similar effect as this most recent occurrence. It rained pretty much the first day we were there and it was recommended not to go in the water for the first couple days.

Since the beaches are awash how about Waimea Canyon for a backdrop?

Finally home this evening in the cap that took me to work as the sun rose. Love this bolder fabric in this Cordova Cap.

Cheers this late 64'f ( 17'C) Minnesota, USA evening, Eric -

A/C is on early to cool down the house in prep for 95F later today.

Starting off with a tweed Cordova cap.

Back at my local beach with my Linen, Silk, and Leather Newsboy from Stetson EU. The unlined combination of silk and linen crown is one of the coolest caps I have. The leather brim makes it feel sturdy.
The water is all cleared up, but much of the beach is eroded and covered with debris from Douglas. Great swim today, floating over 6 foot waves, another day in the life.

It seems someone at Stetson still understands the appeal of denim and leather (or at least a material that resembles denim). Nice!

It's always an experience. We've got one bearing down on us at the moment I hope we have the same luck as you.

I'm into leather brims lately. The light herringbone linen is pretty nice too. Swimming in the rain today.
