Looking for hat recommendation similar to Fair Ends cap

[MikeS]

Hello folks-

Does anyone know of a cotton cap similar in fit and styling to the Fair Ends caps formerly offered from Rivendell?

I purchased a waxed cotton cap directly from Fair Ends last autumn and find it fits my big melon better than any other cap I’ve ever tried.  I also liked that they were MUSA and just seemed like a cool company that I’d like to patronize.  I subsequently bought a couple wool tweed versions over the winter, including one just as the virus was closing the country down.  Fair Ends sent out an email at the time saying they were closing due to the shutdown, were liquidating their remaining stock, and hoped to reopen when possible.

As the weather has turned, I find that I’d love a similar cap in a lighter cotton fabric. Unfortunately their website https://fairends.com is now down.  I have emailed the last customer service address I have but alas have heard nothing back and fear the worst.

So does anyone have a recommendation for a light cotton cap that might fit like the Fair Ends?  Preferably made by a US-based progressive company run by actual humans rather than some faceless international conglomerate?  Or, for that matter, a gently used Fair Ends cap?

Cheers- Mike in Somerville, MA

One of the rounds that riv did used Graffiti hats or graffiti caps. i think they are in oakland. fit is very similar to a fair ends hat i have. I also just ordered a hat from weld mfg, for similar reasons to you, in that it looks similar.  should have it in a couple days.

MIke,

I'm feeling your pain. I've had quite the collection of fairends caps over the years. Probably my most sweat stained was my Rivendell cap that flew off my head while going over a bridge. Seeing that they went out of business bums me out so much. Lucklily they come up on ebay and depop sometimes.
