I get this on a regular basis mainly from people who are in their early 20s, even though nothing about the rest of my outfit says 1920s, its not like flat caps are not an uncommon sight round here either, maybe its cos im 30 and wearing one rather than 60+, annoying either way.I have a couple of waxed cotton caps by Failsworth / Earland bros made from Halley Stevensons waxed cotton material,nice caps in the rain and they seem breathable too.
In fact I have been so impressed that I am watching out for a jacket made from the same material,Fred Perry have made jackets from HS material in the past as have many more famous names.
A problem recently with caps is people saying about Peaky Blinders, now I was quite surprised that most people even knew about Peaky Blinders, anyway I then found out (I should have guessed) that there is a TV series about them.
Now of course any time someone is seen wearing a cap there will be a Peaky Blinders comment,20 years ago it would have been Victor Meldrew....
Wool trousers will require a lot more care than jeans though. I do have jeans - Wranglers MWZ13 ‘cowboy cut’ guaranteed not to reveal builders bum. They are reasonably priced and handy for chores where other trousers might get damaged. At this time of year, moleskin and 8 wale cords are nice and warm and don’t get damaged by moths.
Can vouch for em, been wearing them for 4 years now rather than levis. Never looked back. Find them more comfortable too.
This is typical of my winter hat style - all pretty casual.
