    Smile New Cap

    I love my new Cafe cap, with the mesh lining that lets air through on this sunny afternoon.

    I am already a better person, husband, father and mandolin player just by putting on this first edition instant collectors item.

    I'm most impressed to hear that the new Cafe cap also makes tea and tells jokes.

    But my wife wouldn't let me wear it to bed.

    Also got mine yesterday and prefer it much more to the all cloth version. Good choice Scott!

    Personally, I like the old cap better. Odd man out, I guess!

    I have several iterations of the Cafe hat. Each has it's own style. My solid red twill one is more formal than this trucker style one.

    Looks great in the photo, JEStanek! I guess I'll break down and buy one when they come back in stock. I even like the red bill on it, which I thought was an odd choice at first.
