Ivyest could well be the rear buckled kind, but the Ivy name had been put to many styles of cap over the years.
Any fellow fans?
- It's nippy out.

daniele, u be awsome
damn.....that's very nearly the exact cap I've been wanting for a while now. Great look there
Daniele notwithstanding, I think flat caps look better on younger guys. They can easily look a little too staid from middle age onwards.
^ I've found that moving to a longer peak cap shakes all of this up once more:

... In all honesty, I'd buy that M&S Grey Herringbone cap just now. Top Ivy style!
^ Good call, Moose. That says nothing but America.
- Tell me again why the Baseball Cap isn't 'Trad'?
The Baseball Cap is pure Old School American style. Those Trad boys really ought to visit America sometime - It's a great country with a lot to offer.
IMO.

I love these caps. i used to wear one nearly every day for about 2 years in the mid 90s, almost to the point it was like a security blanket and I coulndt leave the house without one. Had em in all patterns, fabrics, etc even a suede one which makes me wonder now what I was thinking.
nowadays I have 2 that I will throw on occasionally, or if it's raining
^ corduroy - very cool
I like the Hanna Hats caps in Donegal tweed. I have two, one brown (bought in Galway) and one patchwork (bought online). Last year I wore them all the time but now I mostly wear them when it rains.
