Noticed 'baseball' caps on sale at Chiltern Street.  Like Patrick, my late father used to wear one for fishing.  I thrifted a couple of USA-made examples when I was running my short-lived 'Americana' stall and they sold.  In England, however, the 'baseball' cap still has some highly dubious connotations, whether worn frontwards or backwards.  Team one with your hooded sweatshirt and you'll look like the friendly neighbourhood crystal meth dealer waiting while your bull terrier takes a crap on someone's doorstep.

AFS thinking of getting a basebal cap? I’m nonplussed by this break with tradition, I can only compare it with my surprise at finding that they now sell pint glasses of beer in The French House - haha!

I think ball caps are fine with a casual outfit, they look a bit odd with a mac or an overcoat though.

Two brands I have found to be excellent are Ebbets Field and The Ideal Cap Co. Both USA made and come with shipping charges etc, but worth it. Firstly the quality is excellent, secondly they don’t have the gap at the back with adjustable strap because they are sized and this looks much better (they run true to size). You will have something different to the herd wearing ball caps with Puma or NYC written on the front.

I’ve got a couple of Blue Marlin retro ball caps knocking around for holidays and such. Black Sox and Brooklyn Negro League. Kind of relegated them to the ‘too old for’ box. Two wool mix, plain navy blue and plain grey for weather like today. Look ok with jeans, boots, decent sweatshirt or heavy knitwear and body warmer. Casual and necessary for us baldies.
I do prefer low profile ones with a slight curved brim. Can’t get on with the straight brims at all.

I have an Orvis wax cap bought & used for walking the shaggy dogs, ideal ,
