Flat Caps

[brucered]

Picked up a few caps from Nathaniel Cole 1934 (Crown Cap Winnipeg's imported China line) but am only keeping this one. The others didn't fit well. They were on a clearance at a major department store.

Set me back a whopping $12 Canadian.

I still haven't made it to Haberdashery to check out the high end hats they have....hopefully soon

Since @oc_in_fw posted his mug....here's mine with my new hat on. Wife & Kids now approve and like them on me now. Probably because I look and act like I'm 70...but I'm only 47

Added a pic of it on if you dare to look.

You don't look a day over 68.

With that scowl and stubble you need a pipe.

Dry pipe maybe....I'm not putting any smoke into my mouth or lungs outside BBQ smoke. As for the scowl, I don't do selfies so wasn't sure if I should smile, look at the camera or what.

When I retire, I'll grow a big beard and maybe a handlebar. For now, work won't allow it due to PPE.

You got a smile out of me...actually a chuckle . After reading this thread, I was going to say the ladies throw themselves at me when I wear this hat and people stop me in the street to ask if they can take my picture, but I didn't want to come off as too narcissistic.

Kids and I made the birdhouse wall decoration a few years ago for my wife....a little woodworking product placement, outside my shop.

If you ever want to see a bunch of unshaven scowlers, check out the selfie thread in the Brown Leaf. Yes, I fall in that category, too.

Ha...it comes naturally to me. I'm not grumpy, I just look like it. As for the stubble, it's the weekend for me, so no shaving.

Yeah, me too- I rarely smile for pics, even though I am not grumpy. In fact I work hard to try to not be grumpy. I don’t want to become the stereotypical grumpy old man. I may not be rich, but I’ve got a pretty good life and fantastic grandchildren.

I like the cap. It's a different kind of color.

 

[cleanshaved]

The cap looks good on you, Bruce.
I have the same no smile photo thing going on. I normally tell people that is my smile!!!

Baker's boy for me, in either grey or black !
I like them with a bit more of cap volume...

That's a lovely cap, I really dig the black/white !

Few years ago bought a bunch from a local Irish store that was closing up shop. Many were made in Ireland. Most of mine probably have a front snap. Also have a black leather one I received as a BD gift, and a heavy wool one with ear flaps for winter duty, Perry Ellis collection.

Nice hat. That is the style I like.

I found this one at Kohl's the other day on clearance for $4. It's got an interesting pattern and it's a bit more of a modern style but I like it and its one of the few flat caps I've bought that the wife doesn't hate.
