I received yesterday my Greg Starbuck black-piped butternut forage cap, ordered off the forum. It is superb. I can wear it with the crown high or low and pitched forward. The only downside is that my wife finds it odd I choose to wear it to bed. But, then, what does she know? This is is one of the very few contemporary caps I've seen that catches the precise personality captured by era photos and by the artwork of Don Troiani and the late, great George Woodbridge. Mega accolades.

Re: Starbuck cap
Be delighted to share photos of the cap, if I only knew how. Starbuck posted photos in an earlier thread. Maybe he'll read this and do so again.David FoxComment

Re: Starbuck cap
Yeah, well, Starbuck's static photos don't do this cap justice. It's the way it composes itself when on ones head. And I know I'm even handsomer when wearing it, even though one would think that an impossibility.David FoxComment

Re: Starbuck cap
David,
I also am rather fond of wearing Mr. Starbuck's fine work about the house and shop much to the dismay of the wife. The kids, however, like the headgear. I cannot say enough good about Greg's work.Matthew S. Laird
