8 panels seem to sit a little lower on my head than other styles. Fabric wise, TheCaptain (8 panels) and The Sailor (6 panel) series seem to fit the lowest on my dome.

Personally, I prefer the caps to be on the looser side. Having to deal with tight fitting hats and caps forever due to my 2XL head being to a bit too big for one size fits most, it’s nice to have a little room.

Thank you for the kind words. The whole reason I started posting these videos was to show the caps in a more natural lighting setting as I had enjoyed those videos when I was making my first purchases.

It happens. Depending on the fabric patterns it can be more or less obvious. I have a couple of caps with slightly off center seams, but some would say I have been lucky.

Good way to start the collection. 👍

@@SkyDogReviews 2 out of three fit fine, just a hair on the loose side, but didn't want to swap out and have a size smaller be too tight. The Original 5 panel was too tight so I have a replacement on the way that is one size up. I'm guessing I will always be in between sizes so will go with the "tad loose" vs "tad too tight". Tight is never good in South Florida weather 😂

Yes, the photos on the web site can be a bit misleading as their studio white box shots do brighten the colors a bit compared to what you get in the real world. I have both Aficianado caps and they are a staple in the collection.

Yes they are. 👍

Thank you. I agree that I would to like see more 5 panels in the BSC lineup. A cotton twill (like the Captain, Sailor, and Keeper line up) in 5 panel would be amazing.

@@SkyDogReviews Hey, I just reviewed some very cool caps from Mucros Weavers in Ireland, their 8 panel Irish Driving Cap/ I think you'd like them. They really remind me of my BSC 5 panel caps. My video goes live in 5 minutes.

Thank you for the kind words. The Jake is a softer cotton than The Scapper. The Jake feels like a nice worn in T Shirt similar to the feel of The Youk. The Scapper is still relatively soft, but a bit firmer to the touch compared to The Jake. Both caps are quite comfortable on the head. The Scapper has a more textured feel to it and you can kind of see it on the website. The weave pattern in the fabric looks more like denim, but made with a softer material.

Both the grey and blue are quite dark. The blue almost looks black unless you are in good lighting.

Thank you. Be careful, collecting BSC’s can be addictive. 😄

Thank you. 👍. I did miss the Popeye, by choice. It did not call out to me (which is rare 😄), so I let it pass. Of course, I have done that in the past and picked one up late, like The Harpoon.

Thank you. It’s been a long summer. 😓

Thank you for the kind words. I did debate myself a bit on the opening cap, but decided that I wanted to tease my rant later in the video. 😄

Thank you for the kind words. Sizing can be a bit tough when you are in between BSC sizes. The general rule of thumb is that the heavier weight caps (wool blend) tend to run a bit big and the lighter fabrics (poly blends) tend to run a bit tighter. It is not always the case as even BSC says that there is a +/- 1 CM in sizing, but it generally works out that way. Tighter caps can be stretched a bit, looser caps can be steamed to shrink a bit as well as using sizing tape, but I get the frustration on the fit. For me I tend to prefer a looser fit so I have gone up a size on the styles where I was in between.

They make quality caps. 👍

I have been debating on doing seasonal based reviews with Summer being at the front of my mind as temps are approaching triple digits. A few more arrivals due next week, so stay tuned.

​@@SkyDogReviewsdo they not count the two triangular pieces near the temple as panels when they're counting

I have not tried linen and I do not believe BSC makes one in linen. They have some in lightweight cotton and some in cotton twill, but the lightest weight fabric they make is the cotton poly blend in my opinion.

@@SkyDogReviews reviewing their site I see they have a new nylon one they claim is the coolest in summer I might try that out I ordered a linen but from another brand I won't mention because I don't know if you just push this brand. I live in Florida so it's hot and humid.

@stephenshanebeaty I do not represent any company, I just enjoy my BSC. The nylon Repels are light weight, but do not breath as well as some of the other fabrics. Best warm weather caps in BSC lineup are The Trainer series in 6 or 8 panel. The Cape Codder series. The Caddy series. The Youk series or similar caps (like the Lucky series. The cotton twill caps are nice, but run a tad warmer the caps listed.

It’s included in the description section. It is currently BSCALLY

Nice! 👍. Thank you for the kind words. The Cape Codders are now in my regular rotation as the temperatures have increased.

Thank you. 👍

Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍. The Lucky is a great cap.

It’s a Kebnor handheld steamer. If I had to get another one, I would opt for one that can stand on its own so I could work the cap and fabric with both hands.

I got last year’s Driftwood Grey and it had the Cape Codder logo. Marine Blue was sold out last fall so this should be from this year’s run. Got one other comment of the Saltbox Blue with Lobster with the standard logo as well. It will be interesting to see if there are more reported.

@SkyDogReviews my bad, it was actually 2022 that BSC updated the inside, I'm really not exactly sure why a couple of the colors seem to still have the older logo inside.

@shawnjones7562 It is a bit weird as I have the Saltbox Blue Lobster from this year’s run with the logo liner while someone else got the basic. It is kind of random.

Interesting on the standard logo, must have been some kind of shortage or error in production. I wonder how many more logo errors made it out into the world? It will be interesting to see how BSC responds to your issue.

Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Thank you 👍

That was an Original 5 Panel in Patriot Blue. Great cap. 👍

Single panels definitely are a unique style. If you like the look of the single panel, check out the 5 panel caps. They are a cross between the single panel and 8 panel.

They just got re-released a week ago, out of stock sizes normally refill during the summer and fall months. Glad you enjoy the videos, some new ones coming out soon. 👍

The Trainer series is about the only BSC that comes without a liner. The Youks and The Caddy’s have a thin liner. The Cape Codders also have a thin liner as well in 6 Panel. One of these days, BSC will answer my prayers with a light 5 Panel.

@@SkyDogReviews My Birdie doesn’t have a liner. I don’t like the way the 6 panels look on me, so the Trainer is not an option. I bought a Trainer once and returned it, just didn’t like how it fit me. I’m with you though, the 5 panel is my favorite.

Try the 8 Panel Trainers. I have both and they are great in the warmer temps.

@@SkyDogReviews Tip of the year! Thanks! I didn’t know they were made in 8 panel.

Sailors are great caps. So are The Cape Codders (have six of them heading inbound). The Captains are very similar to The Sailors, if you enjoy the fit of a Sailor you should be happy with a Captain.

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them. 👍

😄. I went too long for my Staffy. Raya was like it’s time to shut up and pay attention to me. 😄

Thank you for the kind words. 👍 I started doing reviews because of those who came before me. When I was new to the BSC world, I really appreciated all the video reviews online as I was able to see the caps in normal lighting settings and on different folks heads. I figured I would do a couple of video reviews to help grow the community and help others out. I am glad that you have found the reviews helpful.

It is an interesting design, but not quite sure I will be picking these up on the drop. I was not a big fan of the mesh back trucker baseball caps, so I am going to let these pass, for now.

Thank you! I really like the 8 Panel Trainers and have both of them now that added the Blue Plaid one. Great caps for the upcoming warm seasons. 👍

Sorry about that. 😄 Thank you, glad you enjoyed the reviews. 👍

Yeah, it has been sitting on the back burner for a while. 😄. Finally was able to get it across the finish line today.

Thank you! Watching my videos may not be financially sound for some viewers 😆. Probably need to put on a disclaimer. 😄 There is another BSC review on the near horizon, just have not shot it yet as I keep getting more caps that need to be included.

@@SkyDogReviews Ha ha! Awesome. Can’t wait! 👏😆

I have been threatening the review for over a month now….then a few weeks in a row of some great releases have delayed it.

That code works well in the States. 👍

I guess each country differs. The only thing I found on BSC’s website was, “Import duties, taxes and other charges are not included in the item price or shipping costs. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.” Not very specific and they do not list the charges by country.

Thank you. I was leery of the 6 panels at first, but have since added a bunch to my collection. The Sailor in Mariner Blue got me hooked on the 6 panels and I have been adding them to the collection ever since. The options for light weight caps in Single Panel are not as plentiful, but The Keepers and The Birdie fit the bill if you are leaning in that direction.

Thank you! I am glad you have enjoyed the reviews. It is definitely nice to see the caps in a more natural setting instead of the white box promo photos on the web page. The Aficionado in Homemade Wine is definitely a color that looks better in hand. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

@@SkyDogReviews Happy to do it. I post mostly dog related content, but occasionally post reviews. The video I linked you in the description was here... ruclips.net/video/gtgU_qsIgiw/видео.html I have another one posting tomorrow regarding how to shrink or how to stretch a scally cap I linked you in as well (as a Boston Scally channel I recommend).

I am getting ready to drop another BSC video soon, too. Just received another order today and have enough new ones to do a proper review.

@@SkyDogReviews Looking forward to seeing it 👍🙂

I am purely in XXL now. When I started, I was in XL in single panels as that is where my head size was listed and XXL in 8 panel. As my collection grew, I found that different fabrics tended to fit differently. Heavier weight fabrics tend to fit looser and lighter weight fabrics tended to fit a bit tighter. I went XXL with my first 5 panel and loved the fit and even went XXL with 6 panels and liked the fit even though my head size should have been XL in 6 panel. I have since gone with XXL in single panel as well. If you are in between sizes, I would tend to favor the larger size in lighter fabrics and the smaller size in the heavier weight fabrics. Hope this helps.

I am glad that you have another cap that makes you happy.
