Hello RBW bunch,

I'm looking to buy a Rivendell hat.
Used or unused. Baseball style or cycling style.
All offers appreciated.
Are you planning on buying one of the Riv - Blue Lug hats? Pass on your old one to me :)

Thank you.
-Matthew
in San Diego hoping to finish my Atlantis by Thursday to ride it on my birthday! :D

They did a nice run of hats a couple years ago.  I picked up a bucket hat, 2nd hand.  I really wanted one of the traditional baseball style hats.  I seem to recall a nice looking orange one.    

I have a green baseball cap, but quality does not seem quite as nice as the Blue Lug or the ones I missed out on.  I'm hopeful there will be a higher end hat offering coming up while they are looking for something to help stay afloat next year.  

Good luck with the hunt!

Best regards,
Matt in Oswego, IL

I have one I’m pretty sure unworn. Cycling cap. It looks like this but Homer blue ( the darker Homer). It’s in my house somewhere in a box. If you’re interested, I’ll find it and get you pics. House is non smoking and no pets.

Roberta: If the OP doesn't grab, I'm interested, if you care to sell. My ~15-year-old green Riv cycling cap needs a copain.

Thanks.

Speaking of cycling caps: Bike Gnashbar used to sell wonderful retro-team caps; they were always on deep discount, or, in other words, list was always "75% off!!!" I am wearing out the remainders of my BP, Molteni, Legnano, Peugeot, and Bianchi ones, and I've not seem them offered for a long while.

Does anyone know where one can buy such retro-caps?

Thanks.

Patrick,  Try these, all have a wide variety of the usual and unusual. 


Garth, Who rides today in a scullcap underneath a 90's Duckbill Cap from Pata-who-?, whose current shallow depth "one size fits all" versions fit no one.

I have a few that have lost a lot of the elastic and are too big fir me now.  Not sure of the colors right now other than red, I can check.

Roberta, if no other takers and if the ekastic is good I’ll take it, but let OP have first shot.

Thanks Matt.
I agree with you. A Riv bucket hat would be cool and yes those orange ballcaps look fantastic! Anyone got one to let go!?

Thank you Roberta for the nice offer.
I picked up a baseball cap from Joe Bernard (thank you) so I will let another list member (Patrick or jrs...@gmail.com ?) snatch up your cap.

Cool links Garth.

Lets keep the cap circulation going.

I grabbed that orange Riv ballcap that went up today and I'm very happy about that.
Roberta's blue Riv cycling cap is still available.
Thanks

If Andrew sells his gree w/ gold cap and someone else wants another, I have one too.  Worn only a few minutes - just didn't fit the shape of my head.
