Knowledge is power 🔋
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.
Btw I saw all the Stylists on your playlists.. big ups!👊😎
"Not everyone is ready for all that girth" best video ever....
Heh heh.. I’m a cheeseball sometimes. That’s a crazy quote
Yeah, thanks Kevin for staying late and taking time away from your home to spend making us videos. I personally appreciate it! 😃
Daniel G. Thank you, Daniel. I appreciate the comment. and thank you for the support,and for watching!🌃
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
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..
Thee very best video by a country mile I've seen on and about flatcaps .This man's super good and knowledgeable about his work ,and thanks Jonathan for your video You did real good👏👏👏
You're an eccentric genius! 🤣👍
Great to watch and answered all of my questions in one video. Cheers!
Wanted one for years, but always had doubts about whether or not I could pull off wearing a Baker boy cap.
Just bought a Failsworth Tweed.
Thanks.
Hi Kevin. I dig your videos. I thought you looked super cool in that black fisherman's cap. You should wear that one all the time.
The leather newsboy is like the epitome of NY cap. I have a Richard hat that's made of sheepskin and fur and is made in Canada. Pair it with my Brioni semi-leather overcoat and suit, man am I lookin' like a New YAWK'r!
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 😊
tks for the lesson@@quadrogong1111
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
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..
That's was a fabulous watch. Really informative.
Thanks very much!
Awsome Video! I personally love the 8-piece Newsboy-Style Caps. They`re just classy and cool looking \\m//
Thank u Kevin for the awesome video I know you stayed late to make it when you could have been home playing one of your many guitars 🎸 ( nice Dean btw in ur other video) . 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 video, again. Thank you. You lay it out for us and point out what's coming out now, what's hot, what's not, and why...without ever forgetting the classics-- and telling us why they are classics. You explain the significance of Harris Tweed, etc. Love the historical references/asides. (Lennon, Ringo, etc.)
Thank you for taking the time to explain and teach about hats. It's amazing. Really do appreciate your time you share with us and knowledge you provide.
recycled365 thank u for your support and for watching, and thx for taking the time to give me such a sincere compliment, I appreciate it too✌️🤪
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😊🙏
I like the wider Stetson ivy ( not the duck bill ) and the Stetson newsboy.
Lovely hats !
"Not everybody's ready for all that girth".....LOL
🤣
Nice Willie's t-shirt!!! Awesome shop!
Thanks for the videos, Kevin! Now I know exactly what to look for!
You have the most beautiful hats in the world, congratulations to you brother
Thanks 🙏
Kev
Thanks for that lesson in the flat cap info! I learned a lot. I’m gonna be in NY, in the fall and want to come by and find the right 8 panel.
Good show. Thanks.
Great video, very enjoyable watch, thank you
A man who knows his hats. Excellent video, thank you.
I love your energy, the information, you seem like a solid person man, thanks for taking the time to make this video for us uneducated types ❤
I like the looks of the fisherman cap the black one.
I never fail to learn something from your videos. I have a lot of hats of many different types. Hopefully someday I can visit your store.
Fabulous looking shop and excellent exposition! I want a Harris tweed and Stetson leather newsboy!
I love the level of hat-nerdism. You are invited to my next birthday.
I don't get over to NYC much from the UK, but next time I do I'm definitely stopping by for an Ivy.
I think I need to come by and grab a couple ivy caps. Thanks for all the knowledge Kevin
Thank you very much for the video...
This is the best video about flat caps!
Fun and informative video. I feel like I was there with you!
Great video, thanks
Love Kevin's videos. So informative and enjoyable. Thanks.
Jules Boucher thanks!! I love your comments!😎
The Rev thanks you again, Kevin. I always learn so much - great content. I've turned some friends onto your channel and they also think highly of you and what you give us.
It's a pleasure. Have a restful evening,buddy.🤠✌️peace, kev
Thanks for your time pal
Great video! Thanks man!
Great video Kevin!!! Very, very informative!
Thanks, glad u lilked it
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.
This is fantastic, Thank you!
Thanks 🙏!!!
Very nice video. I just started using a flatcap but I think I will try other types like the bulky ivy. thanks
This had got to be the BEST flat-cap video ever. Big thanks!
More coming!! Thanks 😎
Iam a halfed baked detail carpenter and I can tell you this guy spared no expense on that stores wood work. Excellent episode
Thanks, lot of red oak
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and clearing this up! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!!!
Don't know how I missed this one, but great video, as usual. I'm usually more of a fedora guy, but here you 'splaine it all down for us on flat caps and newsboys. GREAT info. I may be in the market for one of these now, which I didn't think possible before now. Thank you, Kev.
Cmaster03 my pleasure, we have it all, every variety u could ever want, thousands of shapes.. www.jjhatcenter.com. if u need help,let me know, thx again, kev
Thanks for this video. It's the best exploration and demonstration of the differences in flat caps. 👍🎩
People like cap videos and western Hat videos most of all. It seems. So many more on the way 😉 thanks!!!
Kev
@@quadrogong1111 I've got a wool 6 panel newsboy by Wigens. It's sort of a slim newsboy. 👍
Wish i knew about this store when i lived in nyc.
Gonna have to ride down this spring or summer
Great video
Amazing what can be conveyed in around 20 minutes.
Thanks so much. Dave 🇦🇺
Thanks!!
Thank you for low down especially the cleaning part, a lot different than how I clean them. I just wear them into the shower. Will be seeing you soon from Ohio
Mr44hammer 😂
Ur hat videos are always the most helpful. Keep em coming. Thx man.
U keepa watchin,
I'll keepa Makin 😉
@@quadrogong1111 thx 👍
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.
fantastic video🙂 thankyou for all the valuable information!
Thanks for watching! It's a pleasure, i tend to spout these lines over n over every day,for so many years, it's actually cool knowing u can hand down all this info through TH-cam,so when I'm long gone,the info will still exist.. TH-cam is pretty neat
Great video. I just recently discovered these caps. I know them as scally caps. I love the 8 panel newsboys. I wasn't sure I would, but they are my favorite right now. Thank you for the information.
Glad I could help
I love your videos bro. You know your stuff and they're fun to watch. Thanks for the education and entertainment.
thanks Floyd, appreciate that!
ı like this video so much because ı love flat caps and hatteras especially stetsons
Love the vid Kevin. I may grab an 8piece this fall. The NW rains a ton, and having one of these would be great. I'd like to see a summer line up for hats. Panamas, and other straw offerings. Cheers brother. Hope to see you soon, next time I visit NY.
Aaron Green u got it..thx, Kev
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).
Pictures are tough, videos a little better..but yeah, they all run loosely, tightly..add sizes are erratic, unpredictable.
U are correct, but u can do mail order from us, and return for refund or exchange if u get the size wrong. We send out a couple dozen hats a day globally 🤯
I really enjoy your cap videos. This one is exceptionally good.
Thx bud, 😎✌️☮️
Very informative, candid and eloquent.
I appreciate that!
Are pianos included?
I think you rock the baggy newsboy tbh
Really informative! Really appreciate it!
Thanks!!😻
Excellent vid! *SUBS*
The Harris tweeds are beautiful in a classy way.
I own a wool baker boy ( I guess that’s a newsboy ) and like it. It’s a little wide but I am tall 6’6” and have fairly broad shoulders.
I have my eye on a fiddler cap as I have always liked the Greek fisherman style hats as well. :)
Thanks, Kevin... started watching you when you were at your old store :)
Those are cool, we only sell the regular Greek now,the plain front Fiddler is nice, but we stopped selling it, the Greek sold way more,like 10 to 1,so we cut out the Fiddler, but it's nice.
I love the news boy caps especially the wayd
Excellent video mate. Thank you
You're welcome 😉
thanks. this was extremely helpful
🤠👍
Rocking a goatee Kevin?
For me Levine Hat Company on Washington St. Louis was always a place to go as a child. Still in business since 1903. Hats and guitars certainly go together.
Indeed! 🎩+ 🎸
I have one and I payed 80.00 for it in Toronto on Spadina ... Beautiful cap .. I love it . Great video and beautiful shop thank you . And location pls ... Love to come and purchase another newsboy cap . And love the wider ivoy cap
Definitely going to order from here.need me a green linen flat cap
Great educational Video so informative Thanks so much Kevin I will be ordering from you.
Thanks so much, appreciated 😌
Excellent video
JEM Farm Malayter thank you...
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.
Love it
Just ordered the JJ Newsboy, I dig the authentic look, take it back old school being a blues guy myself, hope it doesn’t run large like the Tully, I wear large in everything as well
Chris Robertson they run true to size, not at all like the Tully, only the Irish stuff run oversized, the US made stuff by Capas Headwear run true to size. You’ll be fine. Thx! Enjoy, wear it well...✌️🤪
My style is beanies but I also like my hair at medium length, just above the shoulders but its boofy and a bit curly, if I wear a baseball cap or a snapback I look rediculous, but, I think a newsboy with some floppyness or girth would be cool. But I'm 25 and feel like I will get some weird questions for wearing a hat older dudes typically wear 😂
Great video. I've been looking for a a new newsboy for a while but have found the ones I've tried are too baggy for my liking. I wear glasses so the extra baggage gets in the way. I think its time to give a stetson a try, the Hatteras design looks perfect for me.
Exactly, it’s perfect for that, thanks
After watching this video, I bought my first Stretson Texas Wool Gatsby Cap. Great. Thank you.
That’s cool, wear it well!😎👍
@Markus K, is the hat you bought the same hat that's shown at 12.40 in this video?
nice informations thanks a lot bro for all that
You’re very welcome, thanks for tuning in
Best hat videos on the internet. You should do a video on Hanna Hats from Donegal, Ireland! Do they do "bespoke" customs for you guys. I have never seen one in person but really like their look. My distant relatives are from Donegal!
Yes,we choose a shape,fabric..they're custom made for us 😎
I found a news boy cap from Brixton used, for only a few dollars. It looks great.
Sounds cool, my favorite guitar is cheap,made in Indonesia, etc
all that matters is that u love it, enjoy✌😎
@@quadrogong1111 I believe you replied to the wrong guy.
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.
Great video bro
Thanks 😊
All cool hats! Interesting that some people are still emulating the Beatles.
Love the video’s Kevin! What is the Harris Tweed hat shown 6:00 minutes into the video called? I love that smaller look for a newsboy cap
Those aren’t made anymore, an older Stetson hatteras in Harris tweed, we have similar looking hats now, like the Auckland newsboy, the JJ Harris tweed newsboy(smaller,less baggier),and the orchard newsboy is Italian but same cut.
Harris Tweed is my favourite. I mean eight pieces but smaller
Kevin - great videos, have enjoyed watching them Can you tell me what cap is the smaller newsboy that you show around 5:55 in the video? You said it was a smaller harris tweed. Also what size should I be looking at.. I'm like a 58cm and usually do a 7 1/4 or 7 3/8 hat depending upon fit. Thanks in advance!
www.jjhatcenter.com/products/the-harris-tweed-hatteras
This cap is a couple of years old,
You're a perfect large
In most caps. We have your size too 🙂
Newsboys and Ivys are a no go for me. I've tried them in the past and they look awful on me. Baseball caps are the same.
Weird that my son looks good in those caps but bad in hats, whereas I'm the opposite of that.
However, I never tried a fisherman's hat, so I picked up an old used one cheap, just to get an idea if they work or not on me.
The trim on the bill is a definite no-go. However, the shorter bill works for me. The color doesn't work for me either, but again, it was just bought cheaply for reference.
Having then looked at what wasn't working, I ordered a cheap used fiddler, in a more fitting color and without what I've read being called "scrambled eggs" on the bill.
I think that will work a lot better for me. More subdued, less flashy, which is funny because it's the opposite with a few of my fur felt wide brims.
The bill and colors of caps are what I found do not work for me. My son doesn't wear caps or hats at all, not his thing, but tried on the fisherman's cap and looks great in it.
Genetics are a weird thing. Lol
PLEASE DO NOT BEND THE BEEK ON THE NEWS BOYS, IVY CAPS, SCOTLAND AND IRISH CAPS WITH SEWNED TO THE BEEK!
Whats best summer style fashion fiber hat for old baldies?
Sumthin similar to a millitary style beret... but sewn fabric instead of wet felted perhaps.
Sumthin without a wiser?
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..
Wish i cud get a sewing pattern of those from japan 😊
Gracias por el video, es muy instructivo, Vaya con Dios!!
Thank you, my friend. Bless you. And peace ☮️
Hi Kevin great video thank you for taking the time to make these. Could I ask which hat you have on at 12.40 in this video please
The skinny ivy cap. That's called
the JJ Slim, we get various versions of it, the doria slim,
the orchard slim
,jj cashmere slim
, jj Slim in check..
All the same exact cut.. just different fabrics..
they come in linen too for summer, this is one version..but all the ones I mentioned are about the same thing..
www.jjhatcenter.com/products/the-jj-slim
Thank you for taking the time to reply Kevin much appreciated
Do you have a recommendation similar to the Tully (it’s always sold out..)? I love the big look, but not that “big apple” big. Maybe that Stetson Hatteras at 11:25? Thank you Kevin
Best one?
THE GRANT. amazing quality, a tad wider than a Tully but similar.
They're half price until Valentine's day, I'd say get it. It's REALLY nice. Three colors. Made in new Zealand,w English tweeds
The JJ newsboys are wide, they run a bit tight,
The Baker boy is a Tully with no snap in front. They run huge, go at least a size smaller in it,
(They run VERY large)
the big apple is super wide, not online, u have to call. Same as the JJ newsboy but WAYYYY wider, a true big apple. Too big for some, also one size fits all
Aren't the Stetsons made in Sri Lanka and China? :( I know some (maybe just the Harris tweed) are made in Scotland, but I think most are China. Sad, because I really like them. I prefer not to buy anything made in cheap labor countries, if I can help it, but I definitely don't want a traditional Irish cap made in China!
The fabrics are made in Scotland if it's Harris tweed, yes. Stetson has lines from Germany, Slovenia, Italy, and even China.. depending on how much the store owner wants to spend, we don't sell made in China, but they make tons of stuff, the good caps are German, and have nothing to do with the American made brimmed hats, they are made by very old cap makers in Germany because they're way better at it and have done it for centuries, so Stetson farms out their cap line to them, instead of buying a multi million dollar cap making facility,which would cost too much
@@quadrogong1111 Yeah the German ones make sense, and I bet they're awesome! I wish Stetson would just drop the Asian ones and source from the traditional hatmakers (whether in Germany or USA or the UK).
is there a code name or ref. number for what you mentioned "wider ivy cap" by Stetson?
Not really, they don’t really make that stuff anymore. It’s all gone skinny these days from that brand. Stetson caps are not made by Stetson, it’s a German brand that only purchased the right to use the name, these days they only make this one narrow style called the Belfast. Citysport makes those wide ones, so does Doria, and Jonathan Richards, Hannah Hats.,
trying to find out difference between the sewn down brim and snap brim what is better? also i have seen terms vintage and touring
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..
@@quadrogong1111 Thank you for the reply. I just got a hanna vintage cap and love the style
Keep up the great videos
Jeffrey Clarke touring usually means an ivy cap, driving cap, car cap, flat cap..all terms fo the same thing, it’s a fancy buzz word brands use to make their stuff seem more classy, British and authentic,just like,”vintage” there are two kinds of caps in the industry for the most part, Ivy caps and newsboys, and they both come slim or narrow, a lot of those marketing terms are there to entice the client, add a bit of elegance,
Can you tell me which Stetson hat you were wearing at 13:10 and is there a light weight version for the Florida heat?
It is called the Stetson Belfast model, yes it comes in linen and lightweight fabrics. Go to www.jjhatcenter.com search for Belfast it comes in linen too, not just wool. Just search for the linen Belfast
