nice scan rlk,

food for thought for the cap makers among us !

Hullo again, I'm still searching for a good cap. Cordova, Hepville, Hat people.
Any other brands I should be aware of? I'm looking for something made out of wool that is reasonably similar to this

I prefer to spend less than £40 at present, but I welcome 'high end' suggestions too for future reference.

I thought I posted these SOMEWHERE, but I can't find the thread. So here's my caps...

This is my Irish 8-panel tweed cap...

...And this is my blue (corduroy?) flat cap...

This one has no indicator of place or person of manufacture. Just a size-tag: 59.

NOS 1930's cap I just couldn't pass up.

.95 cent price tag.
