A New Flat Cap - Help Me Choose

Fox News - Paul Keating in a flat cap

My current cap is getting old and the label says that I cant wash or dry clean it. I am thinking of getting a cotton cap for the summer and a tweed or wool cap for the winter. I have to match a tweed jacket, a tan suede jacket, and a dark grey wind-cheater, I may have problems matching all with one cap. The image on the right is the tweed jacket colour.

I had a look at the fashion articles on caps (see below) and all it did was make me more indecisive. The US retailer Lookastic has a plethora of pictures with comments of young men in flat caps.They also have a good range of caps, but, they are not in my part of the world.

I did some window shopping at Australian on-line vendors and was disappointed with the range after seeing what Lookastic has. Here are some examples I picked out for comment and/or purchase from 'Hats By The Hundred'.

The Cylinders Driver Cap is very much in vogue at present. Day or night, in or outside you can wear for fashion or function to keep the sun off your head.Cool in summer made from cotton and fully lined for comfort. Available in 3 different colours : Blue, Stone and Ivory.One size fits most 59cm. This Brand is based in Sunny Queensland and designs, stock and ships its hats all over the world. A great range of hats, beautifully made and at a great price. 

 All said and done I will probably buy exactly the same as I am wearing, but also get a winter cap made out of tweed. There is an Irish hatter that hand crafts beautiful caps, but expensive.
