If you move any dodger hats let me know I see we’re the same size lol
I went ahead and copped the ocean drive rays. Would’ve been so smooth with a grey under but oh well. Can always use a new TB fitted though, I’m from the bay so can never have too many lol
They dropping it exclusively on NTWRK is dumb as hell.
I had a Cooperstown Collection 1970s Red Sox cap with a leather sweatband when I was in HS in the 90s and that thing gave me the worst gatdam acne I ever had. Had no zits before I got myself that hat and had none after I stopped wearing it within like a month. I don't understand the point of the leather band at all.The Ideal Cap Co. website went down (in March perhaps) and now
someone looks to be selling a lot of their stock on ebay for discounted
prices...

...if one ever entertained getting a vintage style fitted, this might be a good
opportunity. Many to choose from. Large sizes included. Ideal Cap Co. is/was
the last vestige of Cooperstown Ball Cap.
ps - keep in mind that a lot of them (not all) have a very thin black leather
sweatband and, I'm no expert on their caps, but they can fit large/roomy...
if in between sizes...but then again, if the cap is wool, over time...

Oh yeah, no I know the difference between Cooperstown Collection et al, I was just using it as an example to discuss that band you'd mentioned on some of the CBCC stuff.The Cooperstown Ball Cap Company is different than Cooperstown Collection
licensed products made by other companies such as Roman Pro, American Needle
and New era. It was it's own cap company - think like Ebbet's Field Flannels.
To the point of the leather band - I've read that it was supposed to function
more as a gasket than a sweat absorber.

And a gasket around my forehead? Eek... I'd rather get sweat in my eyes lol
YES! That Sox hat felt like it shrunk two sizes! I thought my head grew or something. Never knew that the headband shrunk. Now it makes me hate that design even more lol.Those old Roman Pro leather bands would shrink after sweating in them...
then wear the hat, get a headache and a big red mark on your forehead..
try to stretch it and risk tearing it - but cap would be locked down in place,
not going anywhere
The Ideal Cap Co leather bands (most of them) are a different type...
thin black leather, almost rubbery with more give but less secure
