I wore a cap to work. This wool cap has a mesh liner feature that makes this cap work in a huge variety of temps.

I have to stop scrolling every time I get to this photo and the one accompanying it because I REALLY like that cap and jacket combination! Sadly, I seriously doubt they would look as good on me, but on you they're a sharp pairing!
Which color did you order? I was looking at their website last night after reading your post and it looked to me like their "brown" might be the closest match to the cap Mr. Shaw wore, but I could be wrong and it could just as easily be their "olive green" or "tan". The color of your cap looks spot on to me.Wearing my Stockbridge waxed cotton Quint cap while taking my folks and my nephew to the museum on Saturday!
By the way, since I couldn't decide I ordered one of their indigo denim Mechanic's Cap replicas instead.

Home after an afternoon/evening at work and I am doing a walkabout in the cool Minnesota Fall weather in a Cordova Cap.

Heading out in a few. Picked one of Keith’s(Well Dressed Head) off the hat rack. This one is a few years old and still in great shape.

Excellent looking cap. Congrats.
WDH caps are well suited for wear. The hard wearing materials and craftmanship make my WDH caps sweet wearing year after year.
The wool may be thicker, but it looks really sharp. Excellent cap sir. I hope the thicker weight suggests you are experiencing some cooler weather.
Full caps are many folks preferences. The proportions work for you.
Cheers cap folks, Eric -

Thanks Eric. No unfortunately not any cooler yet. Though it’s been raining very often... when it does it sometimes starts to feel like a fridge in the house.
This did the trick.. was comfy and will Come in handy for those two or three cold days we will have later in the year.

The words "indigo denim mechanics cap" sure caught my eye, so of course I had to look into this. Did you order the 8 panel version? I'm looking forward to seeing it in action and reading the full report.I have to stop scrolling every time I get to this photo and the one accompanying it because I REALLY like that cap and jacket combination!

This new Simonds Caps literally just arrived. Another well made cap by Barry. Sizing is perfect and feels incredibly comfortable.

Yes Sir, this one. I've always liked the look of the mechanics cap with the brim folded/curled up and I've occasionally tried to achieve that look with ball caps, but they never looked "right" to me because the stiffeners in the brims worked against my shaping efforts. Also, on most of the reproduction A3 caps I've seen over the years the brims looked more like Ernest Hemingway's fishing cap with the elongated brim than the A3's I've seen in photos. Stockbridge's cap doesn't look "to spec", so maybe that's the key for me--it looks more like the "idealized" version of the cap that I see in my mind's eye than the actual cap. Basically this was just one of those "right cap at the right time" purchases.

Recent arrival snap front flat cap camel color. No brand on this one. Not sure of the material.. it is A wool like fabric but could be a polyester mix. Cool liner on this one... I like the shape and feel on this cap.
Got a bit of rain water on the liner while getting the photo
