What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

I'm right behind you on this one.

Good for you. This will be durable as well as warm weather ready. I love the new straw hat. It will never ever be as light and airy as the early straw Cordova offering. This version is classy and dressy. I desired something more durable and usable for my more pedestrian wearing. I can not wait to see yours sir.

I am hopping back in line with a Magee and Fox medium weight Fall cap choices.

I wore the same cap again this morning.

The cap and I went on a liquor shop adventure.

I took the evening off and have been puttering about. Time and the cooler temps had me opening the box that contained a couple of new caps that arrived earlier this week.

New Cap Day: New Cordova Straw Cap Day! I would like to introduce my new straw cap. This was originally listed as an upholstery fabric. It appears to have Raffia and Jute thread woven in between to hold it together. This is my fav warm weather cap! Hands down.

The cap has heft. It does not lie against the head. The "fabric" is breezy (at least from my one evening wearing attests to).

The fabric and the details combine into a gorgeous summer cap. Dang!

I do have an Abaca Straw cap from Cordova. This is the needed lightweight cap for special occasions. Love this cap also. Pic below:

Thanks for viewing my new Cordova Cap.

Best, Eric -
Dang it, Eric! I had to send Jonathan a message about that new cap! Very nice!

I am unable to help sir. Best in your hunt and I hope folks can provide you with sage wisdom to secure the above cap.

The closest I can come is a recent version of the M-1951 patrol cap:

In civilian life it serves essentially the same purpose as a ball cap, but (in my opinion) is better looking and more comfortable. BTW, the dog tags were a bit of Halloween theatrics; I've never been in the military.
