Show me some short billed caps please
« on: February 11, 2015, 05:43:00 PM »
I wear stormy kromer's a lot during cold weather but I'd like a short billed cap that I can wear for bowhunting and day to day.  I'd like something in a solid color like olive or dark grey.  I see a lot of guys on here wear stuff like that so, if you don't mind, show me what ya got.  I really like the big jim cap in olive but I'm not sure about how flat it is on top.  I probably want something more rounded like a standard ball cap.  Thanks!

I don't have a picture handy, but I have one of the Two Tracks fleece hats. It's short billed, and so soft it wouldn't matter anyway. They also have a wool model that is much warmer and I want one, but I find the fleece a pretty good insulator for chilly fall days.

Check out the web site. They're a sponsor on here.

Firstlite has a short billed beanie that is great in moderate temps. I wear mine with the bill turned backwards half the time. I think Stormy Kromer used to make a ladies version with a shorter bill. Shorter bill appeared to be the only difference and would be ideal. I think they no longer offer it. Probably should have marketed it to bowhunters. Sorry no pics.

I had these made up for our archery club. Not the color you asked about but it is with a short bill. Lots of examples around. Archery Past in Bend Oregon has/had a ton of these in camo and gave away bunches of them at a PBS youth hunt. I have a few around but have not taken any pics. Raptor Archery in Hood River may have them too.

I thought my stormy's wear short and have shot recurves and longbows with them for years. Plus I wear them everyday all winter long    :D  

 

 

Mine are older ones maybe there shorter.    :dunno:

Just bought a Two Tracks felted wool Coup Cap and I am already thinking about buying another...they might be too hot for Summer weather but fine for the other three seasons I think

Thanks everyone!  I have two stormys already but you cant wear them too awfully long in GA. I ended up ordering one of the otto caps like big jim sells.

Wish I wouldve seen that tradgang olive in time. Lol

Here you go Etter. The Big Jim's and the Trad Gang hat are both made by Otto,but I don't think they make them anymore with the wire brim. The other one is made by Two Tracks.

Stormey Kromer did make a short brimmed version. Also, Classic Woolens has a short kromer style hat.

Nice.  So the "flap" can be pulled down with the over the brim portion acting as a facemask ?
