Some days, when jeans are called for, I'll slap a baseball cap on my noggin.

Anyone have recommendations for vintage styled baseball caps?

I saw you can get a replica 1937 Brooklyn Dodgers cap (among others) from the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Any others? Or non-baseball team caps.

I have a 1948 Boston Braves cap that I got from the Cooperstown Ballcap Company. I high recommend them.

RARELY would I ever put on a ballcap...but when I do it has to be a Cooperstown Ballcap. I second the recommendation. Right now I happen to be wearing my 1930s Milwaukee Bears (negro league) cap while lounging around.

I have several Cooperstown caps. All are well made and they will do custom work as well.

I will say this , I do not wear many Ball Caps , But when i do, ONE SIZE DOES
NOT FIT ALL. I just hate the look of that cap pucker in the back.

I'm glad you reminded me about this. I picked up another one of their caps today -- Milwaukee Braves, 1954.

The main reasons I like their caps:

Fit is old school. Smaller brims, fuller cut and floppy bodies.
Fabric looks vintage. It's soft, and not stiff like new caps.
Leather sweatbands are absolutely essential from now on. I won't buy a cap that doesn't have a leather sweat in it, because it's much more comfortable than a fabric sweatband.
