"SOME men may have been saddened to hear of the recent slump in sales of baseball caps. I, for one, turned my customary frown upside down. Baseball caps have enjoyed a run atop hipster heads that has surpassed F.D.R.’s stay in office. At the very least, trends should be subject to the same term limits as presidents. In other words, bub, doff it. Many men have taken to the far worthier wool driving cap, and with good reason. It may not suggest that you are an indie-rock guitar rebel who thinks two chords are plenty, but it will keep your head warmer — and more important, your hair neater — in cold weather." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Many men, drawn to the cap’s misty English gentry connotations, opt for plaids or tweeds of a colorful stripe, for some country-squire pizazz. But its background is squarely 19th-century working class, when they were such common garb as to be known simply as caps. In a humbler-looking fabric, like a gray or brown herringbone, a plain loden or a lightly speckled tweed, the cap looks great with a peacoat, leather jacket or fisherman’s sweater — or anything one might deem more Irish than squirish. - Derrick

Derek, the next pic is for you! - Bubba Botts

I need to go to Bernie Utz and buy another. - Akiva

I have three or so, but I'm thinking it's time I add another to the pile. - Derrick

I love me a man in a nice cap! - Nathalie

I'm a flat cap or fedora man, but driving caps are awesome too! These three types of hats aren't conducive to most hawaii weather though, unless you go straw-woven fedora... - Arlan K.

Derrick, thanks for posting this. I've been thinking about buying a driving cap. I actually tried a couple on at the Lids store in the Charlotte airport Tuesday. I want one of these, a tweed jacket with elbow patches, and a Jaguar convertible. - ha3rvey (likes fritos)

Harvey, I'm old school. I like all of that old-timey looking stuff. And you know how I feel about bow ties. Swap out the Jag for a '73 BMW 2002tii and we can break bread, homie. - Derrick

Derrick, if you'd choose to wear your cap in the 2002 over this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped... - I'm afraid I'll have to block you ;) - Tinfoil 2.0

DO ANYBODY KNOW WHY LOG EX HATE BAVARIAN MOTOR WERKS? - Derrick

No, I do dig them, but the old Jags are SO teh sexy. - Tinfoil 2.0

I gotta go with a Jaguar. And I'm going to pronounce it "jag you are". I'll also settle for a green A.C. Cobra. - ha3rvey (likes fritos)

Akiva wears driving hats when he's outside of the house. - Rochelle

Oh, he already commented about Bernie Utz. I was going to do the same. :) - Rochelle

Mine resembles a jet fighter pilot's helmet - Mo Kargas

*bump* - Derrick

That's a sharp looking hat. - John (bird whisperer)
