Favorites Series: Caps - Topic of the day 10/19/24

Heads up - talk all about caps here (the head covering, not the hockey team though there may be overlap). What are your favorite caps to wear and how do you wear them? What brands/places have really good caps in your opinion? What features (fabric, construction, etc) do you like in a cap? How do you maintain your caps? Does wearing a particular cap imply support of its message (and should it)? Feel free to blow your lid off here. The Favorites Series is part of a recurring TOTD to replace/update the older "Best X for $X" threads on r/mfa; search for "Favorites Series" in Topic of the Day for the others.

The older I’ve gotten the trickier and more complicated a good cap can be

See hats with these types of patches everywhere and they make my eyes roll lol. Not that they are ugly, just everyone wears em where I am. (I live in the Amazon basics equivalent of a city)

I do have a Burberry beanie and I do wear it occasionally. It's pretty nice. I can't tell what material it is, but still, it's pretty cosy.

Hats are more for the practicality for me. If it’s super sunny I’ll throw on a basic 6 panel or if it’s cold I’ll use a beanie. No douvt are hats an important component of style but it’s just never been something I enjoy interfacing with too much. Drew joiner tends to interface with headwear in a fun way and is good inspo

I mostly wear caps for running because they keep my hair in place. Trashed workwear stuff is the way

XL head here, the Poten fitted baseball hats (a rarer variant of poten hats) from Selfedge are great. You might be able to find them elsewhere but they had the best selection of any stockist I could find in the states. Really nice quality and made by the same factory that produces the hats for the japanese major league baseball teams You have to want an actual baseball cap of course but if you're into it, it's a good option

Poten
Poten takes the baseball cap—a typical workaday accessory—and elevates it through precise craftsmanship and material sourcing. These aren’t your usual fitteds; they’re made in Okinawa, Japan, and if there’s anyone that takes baseball more seriously than America does, it’s Japan. Poten caps come in a variety of fabrics, including wool and denim, ...

Another good option is stockbridge sewing works. Really well made repro baseball caps, and a small shop that seems to be run by an older lady. Most of their hats are not my style (a bit too retro for me) but I have one simpler one from here I love. Everything is made to order so you can customize most details and prices are reasonable

Just do not expect a polished e-commerce experience ha The poten caps are higher quality and more precision made, but the stockbridge caps have a lot of charm still and the custom option is great

I just filter eBay by Canada only and there’s a million to doomscroll, only keyword is “trucker”. Some of my favourites I’ve seen lately are old labour union hats.

Would the Norse Projects hats fit those of us who are #stacked in the cranial department? I am a 7 5/8 or 7 3/4 in New Era fitted.

Idk, I’m european so those numbers don’t mean anything to me. I think my head is pretty average but I’m not sure tbh. I would find sizes on their website or reach out to them

Would also recommend the '47 franchise for a fitted version. The 2xl version is the best fitting hat I've found for my big head
