      Amen. This country needs to seriously reform its education system. Knowledge is indeed true power.
      Very well said, and a very timely bit of wisdom as well.
      If more Americans had access to more knowledge, we become enlightened and more self-aware..
      and then we can all stand together, as enlightened beings..together. Thanks for the nice comment. Hope u have a great,great day.

      I'm a size 58 w short hair And a size 59 w long hair, I buy most hats a size or so too large,and pad it down w sweat pads,I like the deeper, oversized look..I usually buy 60 or 61, even 62 a few times. I'm mostly wearing 60-61.
      U shouldn't stretch hats, but go large and shim them down, if u have a tight hat,u can stretch it from 57 to maybe a 59 if I do it, if anyone else does it,expect a half size, like 57.5. Nobody stretches like I do, it's pretty unusual.. I can get it as large as u want,60,61,62.. but the larger u go,the more stretch marks,lines and side effects u will get.. malformed brims, torn sweatbands..
      I'd say I can do two sizes, and anything more will look worn,used,or just show the stretch..the idea is to do it cleanly, invisibly.. anything beyond 2 sizes will look a little messed up

    • @KTGHATS
      @KTGHATS  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Big apple is too big, I'd get a Grant if you like fullness,like a Tully.. they're 1/2 price now!
      the Tully is nice, but heavy and winter weight, not as versatile..

  • @billgirolamo9015

    This video is awesome! I had 2 Newsboy caps years ago, purchased on Newbury Street in Boston when every other shop was either an upscale woman's shop or upscale mens shop. Sadly, for some reason, I put them into a Salvation army bag and regretted it ever since. That was 2003. Here is is 20+ years later and i'm finding old Pendleton hats on Ebay, but would love to have a shop like JJHatCenter in Boston. All the men's shops are going now and those that are still around like Brooks Brothers, do not sell Newsboy Caps. I have bookmarked this video as well as some of the brands that have bene mentioned in this video as I am beginning my collection of these beautiful timeless caps. I Love the 8 panel hat with the button on top of the crown. Today I received a Pendleton which is a tweed of significance not a harris or herringbone but a barley corn pattern. I finally found my size, which is the hardest thing to do when you are buying on line. I did the measure thing but hats are sold by S, M, L, etc and then by 7 1/8, 7 1/4 etc and then by CM 58, 59 etc. So it does get confusing.
    Being able ot try a hat on is the best way to buy a hat, but sadly it's not possible in Boston ;-/ but seeing 2 things: 1. this video with all the beautiful hats from Ireland, UK and even Stetson are all amazing and it is probably good that I don't have this shop close by, i'd be buying up 10 fold the 2 I donated to Salvation Army 20+ years ago,
    But the other item is using steam and stretching a Medium (100 % 2 wool) that's probably been sitting around for a while and with Tea Kettle steam and a good stretch holding it right is the method to stretch go increase the size a bit.
    I saw that video on another YouTUbe www.jjhatcenter.com and bookmarked that as well
    Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video it is amazing and I will watch it again and even reach out to JJ and see if I can purchase a hat from JJ and/or just go to NY !!!!!!!

    A client of mine asked me to make a Flat cap out of his much larger beret in his family tartan. Hats are not my area of expertise so I wanted a bit of background information before starting my project. After watching many videos, I came across yours. BOY oh boy you did not disappoint! Very informative and love your presentation style. Thanks for the video😊🙏

    Thank you for giving us the low down on all these caps. I now know that i need to embrace the floppiness of the 8 panel, or bail on it for a 6 panel cap

    • @KTGHATS
      @KTGHATS  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not really, 8 panals can range from tiny to huge in floppiness our Orchard Newsboy model is a tight little modern 8 panel,and we go smaller than that. If u can't get w that little bit of floppiness,it's definitely ivy cap, even most ivy caps are too wide for a lot of folks, they only go for the super skinny Ivy's..

I just bought a Donegal Tweed and it is a lil poofy on the sides , I was debating if I could pull it off cause I have a lil bit narrow head but as I pointed out that is the Irish style . It does create an aura of mystique and refined mojo !! Cheers ! Keep strumming and thnx !!

    Great info on the different cap styles; thanks! I prefer the newsboy look/fit over the narrow ivy style. However, I like the one-piece flow of an ivy (one direction for the pattern). Also, since you were already closed, it may be a little more efficient to pull your caps ahead of time (versus having to run back and forth looking for the right style or size). Thanks for the video!

  • @binkyxz3
    @binkyxz3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This type of hat got it's unique beginning in England during the 16th Century. In order to stimulate wool consumption and general trade, the British Parliament passed an act in 1571 that required all males over the age of six that were not of nobility to wear a wool flat cap on Sundays and holidays. Although the act was later repealed in 1597, by then the ivy cap was fully entrenched in English culture. By the 19th Century, almost all working class men wore ivy caps throughout Britain and Ireland. The upper-class also wore caps made from finer materials on the countryside. The patchwork versions started out of necessity -- using small pieces of scrap material to produce a functional cap. They gained lasting popularity as a showcase for the sewing talent required to produce one.

    Thanks for the video! I bought my first ivy cap (Irish tweed) many years ago, and I still use it. Since then, I have acquired a small collection of newsboy and driving caps. One thing I learned; in the end it is better to go to a real shop, and spend more on a well fitting high quality cap, than buying online and hope that it fits. Fortunately there's a well sorted shop in the city where I live (Amsterdam, Netherlands).

I'm looking to get a grey herringbone ivy for "fall/winter" in a few months and that looks like it'd work for me. My hair is average weight and mostly short, so I think the tighter, but not too tight, 6-panel ivy's might work. Thanks for the reply, I'll keep an eye on the stock!

    Thanks. looks like I need to make a trip to NY City as finding these caps local to me in OH is difficult. With my smaller head, it is tough to find a hat my size (6-7/8). I don't wear ball caps. My grandfather wore the (Ivy) flat cap and now I think they are coming into my style. Definitely a fan of the skinny/narrow ivy cap. While I'm in NY City, I'll pick me up some salsa too. jokes aside, thanks for the quick look into these hats.

    Dear Great fellow of hats and guitars, I’m wondering which would be more proper for all season use but also the bustling bursts of cold in the Midwest Windy City, enough to keep the head warmed yet enough to keep comfortable during the day as an all day hat just like a baseball cap would be, I love my Ralph Lauren chino hats, every color. Wool/linen blend, or silk/linen blend? does the wool with linen make it cooler and lighter or what? Thank you sir. Rock on.

    The size down on the Tully may depend whether you have hair or are bald (like me), I recently ordered the Tully in size medium and had to return for a large. I wear. 59cm or 7 3/8 and the large fits perfectly (true to size) and allows me to pull down and cover my ears. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy them very much including your guitar playing and collection.

      Nothing really like that. U can find cotton knit berets but they look a lot like the muslim kufi
      Kind of funky,ethnic jazzy looking..may not be exactly like you're looking for. They don't really make summer berets, they're all wool, sometimes suede leather..,
      Best way is to have those hand knit by someone who does knitting and crochet. My aunt in japan makes them ,I have a lot of those..

    Do you ship to Canada???? Whoops, looked at the details, and see that you do ship internationally. Big joy at my end.
    I have had several Ivys. Being large and having a lot of hair I have decided that the Newsboy will suit me better. Being in Canada it is important to have in in the right material. The Harris tweed or the thicker Irish tweed seems to be the way to go. The material makes a big difference in how the cap sits on yor head and how it lays, if you are going for a wider cap. Looking at a number of things on the market, I have noticed a lot of American retailers are selling caps made of a cotton polyester blend, which I feel should be avoided. If the site does not mention the material there is a real possibility that it will be a polyester blend. If it sells for 25 to 35 dollars US, it is almost certainly such a blend. In the long run one might be disappointed with those caps. They will not look so good after a couple of years wear. They do not react to rain or snow nearly as well as a good wool tweed.
    I have a Harris tweed flatcap that I have worn for years and it still looks good.

    trying to find out difference between the sewn down brim and snap brim what is better? also i have seen terms vintage and touring

    • @KTGHATS
      @KTGHATS  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think u mean,if the cap brim is sewn down or snapped down, right..? I’d say neither,both are exactly the same,
      the difference is in the look.. it’s a taste issue.
      When it’s snapped down, only the center part is attached, so u get this kind of pleated, snapped down look,which is kind of classical and traditional, like it’s just attached in the middle..it gives it an old timey look.
      and when it’s sewn down the entire peak is sewn down, so the front looks neater,more even...clean.
      The thing is, when it’s snapped down, there’s a little bit of hand shaping involved, u can shape the park to look flat and sewn down, or jaunt and rakish look, to one side,etc.. but the sewn down look is cleaner,and the entire front of the crown is flush to the peak..it’s cleaner looking in front,rather than classical..
