Long billed ballcaps...

August 19, 2009 1:01 PM

Where online can I buy a fitted high quality ballcap with an extra long bill?

Occasionally I see more or less traditional modern ballcaps with a luxuriously long bill. Not extreme or anything just an inch or two, maybe three longer than average. I have large head so this look is more proportional for me. I live on an island so online is probably the way to go. Any ideas?

J Peterman's stories are often better than their products, but they do offer this, and it's currently on sale.

Thanks for that but not what quite what I'm looking for. I'm thinking more authentically baseball style. Nascar drivers caps come to mind too. Their caps when they put on a cap after a race have the longer bill. The versions of their caps in stores however do not. I'm not looking for a logoed cap or a NASCAR cap per se. A blank cap in that style; black preferably. Occasionally I see people with them especially on television but they are rare and elusive to find. I know sports stars get custom swag but there must be somewhere that has them for ordinary folk.

This is similar to what you want, although the bill may be too long and it comes in Navy Blue, but not black. I do know that caps with long bills are marketed as fishing caps, so that might help your search.

Fitted high quality ballcap

Look no further. Extra-long bills are not listed on their site, but everything they do is hand-made, and I have no doubts they could do it.
