I'm thinking "The Riddle" might want to look at those Rapha Leather Grand Tour Mitts

An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.

I can't remember the web address I *think* it is https://smeear.co.uk. If not head over to https://www.londonfgss.com/ and look for smeer or RJM(thisisrob) they will do hand made caps to order check out his flikr account https://www.flickr.com/photos/smeear/ . I am sure they will post over to the states if you ask. Tell him TheBrick or Tommy sent you to him so if he gets lotts of orders from here he can give me a reduced price hat
. I know these are not solid colour but just ask him for solid colour.

Their prices have skyrocketed in the last year or so though. I think they're up to 11 or 12 bucks a cap now.

Looks great, thanks CrushKill! Does anyone with a really huge head (mine is 24") have experience with those caps? 24" is right at the top of their quoted range so i worry that the cap may hot come down far enough.

WTF is wrong with people? Who is that ********&rich at the same time, to drop ($230) $184 for a freakin' notebook?
I guess it's the same kind of jerkoff that would spend $20.000 for a night in a suite in the Burj al Arab in Dubai.

I don't have a huge head, just a large one 22.5'ish and their "one size fits all cap was too small for me. So I ordered a larger one and that one is a bit loose.
