The Well-Dressed Head: Vintage Caps for Men: Cap 04: 1960's / 70's Pendleton Wool Eight-Dart Cap

Here's an outstandingly beautiful plaid wool lined 8-dart cap from the late 1960's / early '70's by the venerable Pendleton company from Portland, Oregon. This one would stay in my private collection if my storage were a bit more expansive! The colors are rich and different from the usual fare from this time period. The cap is in excellent condition, with only minor wear to the label printing in the lining. No snap on the brim of this one, so as you can see in one of the images, it can be worn well with the crown front up.

By Way Of INTRODUCTION.

Now here's a bold new concept, indeed.

It seems these days you see chaps all around wearing vintage-inspired 'bunnets', most of which ignore, or worse, blight the sharp, distinctive contours of the cloth caps of the early 20th-century. Now, here is made available a remarkable and swiftly growing collection from which the public may purchase original, vintage caps spanning the last 100 years, from the comfort of their easy chairs.

Additionally, and not of no consequence, these caps can now, for the first time offered, be SIZED to the customer's head, so that one need not be prevented from owning the desired design and example of choice. Using a series of closely-guarded techniques, caps previously too small for the average adult can be stretched, safely and gently too, to adorn even larger size menfolk. A valuable, and if it may be said, unique offer in all of the world.

So now, thus informed, the reader may examine the stylish and authentic caps herein, and if a model is deemed outstanding, won't you purchase it for yourself or as a treasured gift for a man to whom you believe would accept it approvingly, and wear it proudly.

A final word of counsel is proffered in closing. Keeping at the forefront of your mind that these are antique and in some cases quite rare articles, dawdling, dithering or any other form of shilly-shally may result in the item in question vanishing due to another patron's promptness.

Yours in CAPtivity,

K. Lo Bue, proprietor.
