I have been searching for the perfect hat for months now. I've seen caps with ear flaps and racing stripes. I've been considering fabric and colors. I've even looked at and considered alterations to patterns for my own construction. I still haven't decided.
I seem to be leaning towards the style of these hats by Kozie Prery on etsy. Though I'm not particularly in love with any of the fabric choices at the moment (gezz I'm so indecisive)I love the soft stretchy ear flaps that just kind of cup around your ear. I have trouble with earaches from the wind blowing in my ears as I ride (because I'm oh so fast of course :) so this would totally take care of the problem. The best part is you can flip the flap up when you don't need it and you still have a stylin piece of head wear.
Some other great indie cap designers I'm diggin on:
I love the all over coverage designs and fabric choices of Floyd Boberg
The Outdoorsmen by Automatic Cowboy Joy is a win
And you've got to love this tweed number by Baroque my world
Please do send me any other suggestions you may have. I'd love to know who your favorite cycling cap brands/designers are.
Have you seen the hats at Kongkodesign?
