More modern style caps in this picture, i'm guessing late fifties going on early sixties

Just bought this vintage cap for my(upcoming) birthday too lol.

Really pleased to have picked up these two vintage French caps, in my size.

They appear to be unworn and still have the original tags .

Think i saw them on etsy, the grey prince of wales is my favourite, nice hats.

No prob, saw it on a older and more obscure thread on here, sent it to my mum too to give her ideas to perhaps make one for me in future haha, she recently made an older style cap for me from taking apart a manky old cap and used the pattern to make it a new one out of waxed cotton, will try get pics on Monday if i remember, i haven't got a smartphone anymore so can't take pics anymore as i find them annoying.

Nice old cap spotted, reasonable price, 57cm size, must be old inner liner is style with no grosgrain or leather band, something seen in British caps in the past i think, ships to USA according to listing. Not my size unfortunately but i have enough caps to last a good 50 years:

Just bought this retrosport cap from mamieblue ebay which is similar to the more British cut of caps i like(they may not actually be uniquely british style cap) i have had the darted caps from them but i prefer the style i posted recently more, it will be interesting to see how it fits considering people usually go for the darted caps from them, i havent seen anyone post pics of this style from them so i will take a pic once received.
