glass, please, (if you still can) to the satin-lined and richly textured Baker Boy, a virgin wool newsboy with plenty of material to wear straight on or slough off to the side. Kindly raise your left eyebrow in appreciation for The Milvian, a longshoreman cap from Christys' Italian Collection, (which comes in two great patterned herringbones) and for The Claudius, an aptly named newsboy that's fit for a king.
For tradition and all-round excellence, The Dobby Newsboy is a shoe-in for my money, although The Borsalino Salvatore, a fine wool tweed cap with drop-down cotton earflaps, can drive otherwise mild-mannered men (me) quite mad - in a good way, of course. It's close to what I feel when encountering the simply magnificent Vintage County, a Jonathan Richard ivy cap, worked from worsted, merino and fine cheviot woolen spun yarns. Another cap worth its buzz is the soft-as-cotton Borsalino Mario made from two distinctive woolen tweeds.
Don't mistake The Kangol Gaffer for your grandfather's hat (unless the old gaffer's a classic, like me); and when you spot The Original Irish Walking Hat courtesy of Jonathan Richard, know you are in the presence of the real deal. Said Original is made from exceptional Irish tweed and sewn to perfection in Dublin, following the practices of nigh on a century now. John B. Stetson is offering a unisex fisherman cap this season that's pretty impressive. It's called The Elaine, and it's crafted from 100% virgin wool tweed with leather trimmed bill. Try it; you'll like it.
Recapping now, there's the super-silhouette marvel in the case of The Palermo, a textured longshoreman's cap from Borsalino); and you've got your Kangol classic wool herringbone newsboy, plus there's The Baker Boy over-sized cap from Jonathan Richard (satin-lined and woven from virgin wool) as well as The County, a herringbone ivy cap similarly made in Ireland.
Pop off and place your order while it's all still fresh in your mind; otherwise, let's start again from the top, shall we?
