    I think the cap needs a matching uniform. . . a baseball jersey, p'haps. But what to call the team? The Virzis? The Tremolos?
    I dunno. Why a duck?

    Received the new red cap today. So much for the information to request which stickers you want. I got an "A" and an "F". Asked for two "A"'s. But the cap looks nice

    I think just having the black cap in my possession has given me that extra confidence. A red one plus the new A style stickers are in my future.

    Hi,

    Anyone tried the new Khaki ball caps? I liked the fit of the black version, but the last ones (the red) did not fit as well and the stitching of the motif on the inside of the cap always caught my skin. I'd buy a couple if the new ones are like the black, but not the red.

    Regards

    I just received mine today, thanks to the speedy Mr. Scott. I like the color a lot, I won't wear brown or black, so I was happy to see the khaki available.

    I am on the fence about the cap, but that is mostly due to my large head. It seems to be a "low profile" cap, for me at least. The inside has a tag "OTTO", One Size Fits Most, if that helps you to compare to the red cap.

    I guess I am not most, the linen fedora I just bought at a true hat shop measures 7 5/8" and probably should be a 7 3/4" with my short summer hair.

    I would like to know what kind of strap is on the back of the hat.... is it a plastic type where you fit the peg in the hole? or, is it the leather type where you have infinite adjustment using a small buckle device.

    I am only interested in the Khaki hat.

    I have read several pages looking for this info, or a pix, and nothing is mentioned - except some don't fit large heads.

    thanx

    For the curious, a shot of the back of the cap, and the inside. Scott pretty much has the front covered! I must say, I like the cap a lot, other than the fact that a stiff breeze can knock it off my overly large head.

    Thanks Nick. and Thanks Gary.

    Yup, that's a nice strap. Comfy. Exactly adjustable.

    A good strap is an important detail.

    I ordered the khaki hat just 2 days ago. It was in the morning mail today along with the Beatles songbook and a couple café stickers. How's that for service? The hat feels good and fits nicely. for comparison my tilley hat is size 7 5/8, and the café hat strap will adjust larger than that. Just wanted to thank Scott for the hat, songbook, stickers and the prompt service.

    No pun intended of course, Huh Mike?
    I was so elated with my first cap, I ordered a second in red..didn't help my playing much, but it showed up in almost...scratch that,...... in every picture taken, in every country in Europe over 5 weeks...my wife was not amused.
    It may even show up in Japan and a few other Asian countries in the near future.

    Sorry for the delay in answering. Somehow missed your post.

    There is no size on the ball caps but they have an adjustable strap with quite a bit of room. I have a big head (no jokes, thank you...) and fits me OK but if you're really concerned might want to pass. That said, we never refuse anyone that wants to send one back for a full refund which probably only happens about once out of every 1,000 sold. Yep, we go through that many. A few years ago there was one order of 200 we received that were pretty much evaluated as smaller than usual but hasn't ever happened since, and certainly not with this group.

    On another note, for anyone reading, all shipments are going out daily and there are tracking records from the post office. I'm noticing around 10% taking more time than they should. If they're like our local PO here they sometimes sit on things which is annoying as can be.

    Mine came nice and quickly. It will be worn proudly, especially when it warms up a tad. Thanks for the lid!

    Got mine a couple of days ago. Khaki is my favorite color, and this one is a bit different shade than my Banjo Cafe cap.
