Hunting Cap Recommendations

[JohnnyLaw]

It gets really cold up here, and warm headgear is essential. I've been wearing toques (beanies for you Yanks) for years and want something new. I'm thinking about a hunting-style cap. A wool cap with ear flaps that can be folded up. I'm looking for something pretty simple and not overly Elmer-Fuddish. I saw a nice cashmere one by Eugenia Kim, but it seemed overly delicate. It was already showing signs of wear in the shop. Just for an idea, here's an Engineered Garments one.

I want something a bit more modern though. I really liked the look of the Eugenia Kim one, but can't find a photo online.

Alternative hat suggestions are welcome. Also, I have a large head.

Discuss.

J.Crew has a nice wool one that shows up in their sale section every other day or so in the mornings. You might also be able to find it in store still, where I found mine for $12.

I like the second, wool, one, but it's a bit pricey.

That sounds interesting. I don't have access to any J.Crew stores, but I will keep looking at the website now and then. Price is definitely right.

That's pretty intense. I'm not sure I could pull off something that bold.

Filson has two caps - the Mackinaw and the Double Mackinaw. The first has the flaps hidden in the cap and the later has the flaps Fudd style. Both are made in the US with wool and have a lining.

Another Filson recommendation:

Tin Cloth Wildfowl Hat.

Quite warm, and only slightly odd.

Of course there's the Canada Goose hats too, such as Aviator style, "Classique hat with beaver felt" and the same Classique but with sherling, if the logos don't bug you.

Some good recommendations here.

I would definitely pick up the Filson Mackinaw if it came in Charcoal, like the Double Mackinaw.

not really a hunting cap but,

Wigens - has fold down ear flaps. Made of Wool. Lined with something.
