So I want a ball cap that fits at home with a suit as much as casual wear, think Drakes style direction. This is because some days my hair is just ****, and some days I head out after work instead of straight home. I like ball caps, they look at home on my head compared to other headwear. I can pickup something from Uniqlo or the likes but I am thinking something more distinguished. I really liked the Free & Easy caps, something like the below hats:

And then I saw some caps from Adsum:

Then, I saw some ball caps at O'Connels and got me excited. Navy? Black? Emerald?:

I have a boyish face, I think the caps although may look out of place in some outfits will sit perfectly on my head. If anything just trying to get a direction of where to take this. The whole point too is that its after work and days when I'm just in a frantic rush.

Greg was wearing that buffalo ball cap from O’Connels today, know I got to get it now.

@LA Guy didn't you have a trucker from RMC/Joe McCoy that was about the same as the one above? How do you like it?

Yup - black unlined roughout with a horsehide collar. Pretty great. Not much need for it right now though.

Any experience with the LVC version above?

Which one, or neither? FWIW I would cut off the epaulets likely, and remove the cinches at the ankle. I'd go for black.

Of the 2, the first is much much better. Reminds me of a mechanic suit. It'd be hard to wear though.

I am picturing a tee + thermal underneath and throw a jacket over the jumpsuit.

Pair it with some Hoka One One or the like. Thanks ya'll!
