Amurican Apparel is selling those? And it's actual leather? Might have to seek out -- I want a cashmere/tweed cap for this fall but haven't seen anything under $150ish and at that price I'd like to try it on first but the options are mostly international.


Says 100% lambskin on the site, and it's only $52 which seems shockingly affordable. I assume they have good returns and maybe the occasional code so it's worth a shot. http://store.americanapparel.net/product/?productId=rsalh508


Reedo get it if you aiming for leather daddy look I guess ...


I guess you could say I'm....Buy-Curious?

like the material on the first better, but think the second works better for a hat

Surely it depends on the shape of ceoceo's head and face? The second certainly wouldn't work better for me as a hat, much as I might admire it on someone else.

^yes it's Gitman. However I thought the collar looked kinda cool. I have two gitman shirts, however the collars don't look like that. They're not patterned tho, just plain oxfords.

filcol if it is the regular 3" collar it's going to be huge like that. i only own one gitman shirt now i used to own about 9. the collar is one of the things that killed it for me.

Whether a big collar works depends on your hair/ neck/ face shape / head size. On a little dude with a little head they're gonna look ridiculous. I like big 70s collars.

Gitman collar is perfect size IMO, roll is spot on
