Gamble & Gunn Shelby Herringbone Button Top Cap

Great quality cap. Fits well and stylish.

Bought one of these in England two years ago and it cost 39 Euros so cheaper at Amazon than at the factory. Warm and an excellent fit if you remember to actually use the measurement guide. All in all the best you can buy in my humble opinion.

I've wanted a Newsie cap for a while and when I stumbled across this, I had to have it. I followed the fitting instructions, but the cap feels somewhat small, but close enough that I'll be keeping it. The size selection range doesn't allow for the nearest best fit. So you're only allowed a slightly snug fit or a too large a fit. This was true for me anyway. Hopefully it will stretch just a bit with wear, and if not, I'll get it stretched at a hat shop. Really like the cap though.

Hat fits good. Nice style, but for the price and shipping it was made in China. The product is misleading because it leads you to believe it is made in the UK!

it was too tight at first, however, with a few days (week) on my hat stretcher, it's my favorite one so far!...and I have almost 20.

Good 8 panel cap, not as roomy or as "peaky" as the ones in the show but excellent cap nonetheless. Fit to size and is marked with American size on the inner tab. Would buy again.

The item is a quality product. It meets all of my expectations. I own several caps of this style and this one is the best one yet. I am considering purchasing another of this style and shape but a different color and material!

I own several caps, all bought from Amazon. This is the first time I've bought Gamble and Gunn cap. When I compare it with the Jaxon & James caps I have (that were around the same price) the material seems a little thinner, the lining isn't quilted and looks baggy inside the cap. Lastly, unlike the peak of my other newsboy caps that have metal poppers holding it to the body of the cap, this cap the peak is stitched in place.

The fit is good, but the material is pretty thin and lacks a quality feel, however the lighter material will be a benefit to those whom wear caps in warmer months. For winter months, one will need to shop for pure wool alternative. This is an expensive thin cap, when you consider its a basic 8 panel flat cap. Listed as Wool, but label says only 5% wool, rest polyester.The cap is listed as Black Herringbone, but it's hard to see where a Herringbone pattern is, it's virtually plain Black.Lastly, it's not a true Shelby. This caps' construction is thin and has no substance to hold its own shape. It needs to be of thicker material, and fuller to be able to mould to one's preferred shape.Returning for a Melton Wool Shelby.

Fantastic! Excellent quality, pay for what you get.Arrived within two days of ordering, come in a flat packed cardboard box, and content sealed in plastic cover.It's a good fit (not too tight or too loose)I really like this peaky blinders cap and it's exactly what Thomas Shelby wears in the British TV show.This is my first purchase of a hat of this kind and I was worried about the modern style and if it would be appropriate to wear this in the year 2016 however I've noticed guys from 30+ wearing them when I visit the city centre (Liverpool) and celebrities like David Beckham, Daniel Craig and Justin Timberland wear these fine traditional English hats so that must be a good thing.If you are wondering what type of clothing style to wear to suit the modern look then I would suggest denim Jeans or Chinos, with a nice t-shirt and short sleeved shirt (or a casual rolled up sleeved shirt) with boots or shoes that maybe match the colour of the hat?Winter you could wear Chinos with a stylish blazor.Or maybe you're just a peaky blinders fan, whatever your reason, get out there and Wear it.

I love this hat it is warm and comfortable. What I am slightly disappointed about is that it was described as a wool blend hat but it only contains 5% wool, which hardly makes it wool blend. It is in fact mostly polyester so it is a polyester blend really

I like newsboy/bakerboy caps. Yeah, yeah peaky blinders, Tommy & Arthur, blah blah, ya di ya.I have some reasonably posh versions of this - Dent's Abraham Moon & Schöffel, both of which cost considerably more. Fair enough, they're both 100% wool outer but neither fit, or sit, like this one. Perfect for me. Feels very good quality and is well made compared to it's (much) costlier stablemates.Be prepared, when buying a hat mail order which you can't try on and look at yourself, to be disappointed and go through the returns procedure. Finding exactly what you're after is a joy. Well done Gamble & Gunn (and all associated Chinese colleagues!)
