Thanks. Not very expensive, but hope it’s nice enough to dip my toes in.

I have about 10 now. I don’t wear them very often as LOTH believes that they are Grandpa caps. She doesn’t want me to wear them until I am a grandpa. The only problem is, is that I don’t have any children of my own. Her son is my stepson so I suppose I will be a step grandpa some day.
I have only step daughters, but my grandchildren are my grandchildren- been there since day one. I proudly wear the title of grandpa (pappy in my case).
My wife is the same. She hates my flat caps because she thinks they're old man caps but everyone else compliments me on them all the time. Oh well, she has some clothes that she loves but I hate too. [emoji2369]

Well we are in cool company. Here are pictures of Brad Pitt, Robert Redford, and quarterback Tom Brady wearing a Flat Cap.
Certainly in the past the flat cap tended to be a wider sort of affair ... more of the "pancake on head" if you like ... compared to nowadays.
I agree with you 'Doc4', that's the way they were but I like today's style much better.
Did you take that picture of the bunny?

I tried telling my wife that but she wont listen. Ive come to accept that Im just not going to make her see that flat caps are cool. BTW, you could also David Beckham and Justin Timberlake to that list.
In my case the wife was sick of ballcaps, I saw an ad on Facebook pushing Boston Scally.
Got a Scrapper which I think would be considered a duckbill. Logical first step away from ballcaps since they resemble a baseball umpires cap. I'm kinda lukewarm on it after wearing it a few times.
Next I got one of their original Grey herringbone caps. For me the fit was too shallow, felt like it was going to come off if I leaned over. Probably just me, weird head.
IMHO, think the way you wear the cap also makes a difference. I see guys wearing their hats back on their foreheads which to me looks less than flattering. Pull that cap further down closer to your eyes, looks better, again IMHO.

I tried to, but the dog kept eating the pancake.
So it was google images instead.
If you have to tell her that they are cool ... you have already lost the debate.
This is all I can think of when I read this thread...
My first flat cap- a Brixton Hooligan. I wear a 7 5/8 and this is closer to 7 3/4, so just a tiny bit loose. It isn’t going anywhere, but I want to snug it up a touch.

Looks good, Owen.
Thanks. Since I wear blue a lot, I’ve let the wife know I am going to need another hat.

It's the right thing to do. After all we don't own a single shirt etc do we.
Exactly. Hell, if women can have different purses for different outfits, then I need more hats. I may go Boston Scally on the next one.It's the right thing to do. After all we don't own a single shirt etc do we.
