Hats

i hit the lock and co website. those are some nice looking hats! while pondering a purchase, in addition to what is listed in this thread, what should i check out?

Caps- who do you like? Looking for something in the flat/ newsboy camp that isn't comically oversized. I have traditionally thrown a few stitches in to keep the crown to the brim if they are buttoned or snapped. Bought this cheap one used, and the brim is finally disintegrating.

Preferably unstructured, wool(/ blend). Bonus points for felted or leather rather than plastic inner bill form.

I just got a Goorin Bros ball cap, all black, no logos which I can wear when I walk around at lunch (it's sunny in Colorado). But they make a ton of reasonably price hats:

Thanks- I have a Goorin porkpie I like. I ended up ordering a discontinued Stetson Hattaras Newsboy.

New Stetson 8 panel cap. Highlights my latent ol'manishness.

That photo is freaking me out.

Because that guy is just so good looking.

Because he's missing a decent chunk of ear (and a little bit of his glasses)!
The hat's real nice, though!!!

Image appears to have been photo-shopped.

Probably a botched attempt to make an already handsome guy even more gorgeous.

Sort of like this from a few years ago: ;)

Phone photo- looks like it did some odd parallax/ auto correct deal?

Pretty sure my ear just looks funny from that angle. Add in the jewelry and tattoo and...

Embracing this 80* October as an excuse to wear this vintage Knox Panama.

I'm not convinced it's ever been worn, even though the box has seen some closet time.

The second of three closet find vintage Knox hats. This one a lovely Kilkenny long oval center crease with a custom edged 1-3/8" brim. This one was worn, but also in immaculate condition. Possibly my new favorite.

My wife traveled to Tokyo and she picked me up a Kijima Takayuki-United Arrows collaboration hand knit hat. The feel of the hat is so soft and the profile is super slim. I used to think my Topo designs knit hat was nice, but as soon as I put this on, I gave away the Topo to my son. Now just waiting for some cooler weather to test it in the wild.

Lock and Bates are both in the St Jameś area of central London i.e Clubland. I recently acquired a beret from Lock. I think it is sourced from thé Basque Country and it is one of the highest quality bits of stuff I own. It is so closely woven it also feels fairly protective when I cannot find my cycling helmet. Comfy too. Yes it is a bit comical and attracts some friendly comments and I say, yes, it is my anti Brexit statement.
