The Cap Faction

Just came today. Vintage Pilgrim Kingfield herringbone tweed cap from sears. Not certain of the age, but I'd guess 1950's latest.

Great find! Can you post a shot with you wearing the cap?

 

[St. Valentine]

Nice shape and equipped with a leather sweatband already. Great find!

Nice Pilgrim !

Johnny, I'll post a pic of me wearing the cap after I get it cleaned and stretched.

Louise Brooks wearing a cap (1928)

I am not a cap wearer myself, but I could not resist this image. From Beggars of Life, directed by William Wellman.

Louise was hot. And the cap doesn't much to rectify this impression. Quite on the contrary...

I Bought this Cap on a flea market last sunday, she is new and unworn and the labels
were still present. I dont know anything about minnesota Hats and it's not a vintage cap, this is sure. But for 3,50 EUR a nice deal, my opinion.

Cubbie's and Optimo what a combo looks like you had fun. FedoraFest next year is heading to Chicago so Maybe you can come up and meet with everyone.

That sounds like a plan! I will watch for details.

Nice find Manfred and looks right at home on you. If it's from Minnesota it must be a warm one!

Awesome cap Manfred, Euro 3,50 is quite a steal! :eusa_clap

Mike, Frank and Johnny, thanks for the comments, it is much appreciated.
Mike, yes, you are right. It's pure wool. How do you know it?

Hi Manfred, Just a guess, any hat claiming it's a Minnesota Hat has got to be a warm one. Besides, the quilted liner looks as though it's insulated. Prost!

It's the Red White and Blue Star tag in the rear of cap. It also tells me it was made in the late 80's.
