[gouki74]

Thank you @goosehd 
I try my best to make all my stuff on my own, i do also all my leather gears (belts, wallet, bags…) and with help of a friend, i forge all my metal stuff also.

Looks glorious ! I’d love to get one but I have zero clue how that sizing works, as I have not worn a fitted cap in decades

With the exception of this one that I have from them, which I picked up in a sample sale a few weeks back,  None of the ones I have are fitted.

At the Sample Sale they were sadly pretty much all fitted. This was tagged a size medium but came up quite big. The only other fitted caps I have are the RMC A-3 mechanic caps in size 7  1/2 (which are a little bit snug but perfectly tolerable). Navy velvet wouldn’t have been close to my choice in a million years but actually really nice fabric in the flesh + the Mrs liked it and it was about £40.

Regarding the remaining Potens I have, they are all adjustable and I have seen a lot of the fabrics in both  fitted and adjustable.  My favourite is the olive fujinkabai canvas…... They are such nice hats so if you can find somewhere that will return them if you do not like, I would certainly recommend checking them out.

Olive canvas

Navy canvas (another one I was lucky enough to pick up from a sample sale) (soon to receive IH patch I feel)

Navy Chu-Zome iridescent nylon (the depth of it is a right fucker to photograph but certainly considering getting the olive one also).

Black (but looks more grey) chino cloth that posted earlier

completely off topic, that kill bill poster is amazing

@Cutlasshound was correct to give Poten so much love. Grabbed this beige cotton cap on eBay for a steal and it’s lovely. I always have a problem with crown height with caps. Ebbets are a little shallow, HW dog too deep. This Poten feels just right. Will likely get more.

@natehate Thanks mate, apologies did not see this before! It is by a chap called Tyler Stout. Think I paid about sixty dollars for it back in the day!

[Cutlasshound]

@jerkules Looks great mate!

Think I have a good 7 or 8 of the buggers now!

Open Road. What do you think? Can I pull it off?

[Matt]

Depends on where you live.

[goosehd]

@Dmart I’m a fan and think it looks good

[Dmart]

@Matt why? Austin would make it easier than my Homebase in Switzerland, right ?

[Dmart]

@goosehd thanks. I actually do like it as well. Certainly not common to see someone in Switzerland with an Open Road but I wouldn’t care. I am the only one wearing cowboy boots and Engineers as well

[goosehd]

@Dmart Always better to be the leader of the pack than one of the herd.

I think Switzerland would accept you wholeheartedly. And of course Austin. I think it looks really cool.

[Dmart]

@Matt thanks Matt!

[natehate]

@Dmart dude hell yeah!
get that hat

[Dmart]

@natehate Thanks man! Very close to pull the trigger. Have a stratoliner fedora on order as well.

Toys McCoy x Grateful Dead. Seriously the best fitting ball cap I’ve ever had fresh out the box. Construction is beautiful, embroideries top-notch, I’m in love with it.

[steelworker]

nice cap!

@Anesthetist Glad to hear you like it!
