I got this for my husband and told him this it the "grown-up version of the ball-cap". He hated it, until he wore it and everyone (esp. the women!) started telling him how dapper and cool he looked. Love this hat and it looks so good. Well made and not hot to wear.

Simple hat but very comfortable. I like that the brim of the hat is a little more receptive to curving (similar to a baseball hat). I can wear it all day without feeling like it's squeezing my head and it is surprisingly resilient to water from light rain.Best Deals for Kangol Men's 504
Kangol is well known for their flat caps, whether it be the 504 or 507 models. The so-called "Flexfit Fashionable Sleek Cap" is neither of those, instead being a style often known as a "newsboy" cap. (The most obvious difference between a flat cap and a newsboy cap is the latter has both a squatchee on top and is usually of eight-panel construction.)Beyond the aesthetic differences, I found there is not a great deal of difference between, say, the Kangol 504 and this cap. The sizing is near identical, so if a Kangol flat cap fits you, so should this one. They even look quite similar when seated atop your head, the main difference being this cap has both a lower crown and wider sides, so it might look a bit "bloated" compared to the rather sleek look of the Kangol flat caps.
The material used to make this cap is mainly acrylic with some wool, so it's going to have a look and feel much like the older New Era baseball caps (models prior to 2007 were almost entirely wool.) This means it's NOT a particularly lightweight or cool cap, and thus may not be the best to wear in very hot weather. (I'd recommend the Tropic models from Kangol if you want something lightweight and breathable.) However, the elastic sweatband does a great job at both fitting your head and wicking away moisture, so you don't have to worry about sweat getting into your eyes.
Overall, it's a really nice cap, one I enjoy wearing often, and I particular like the green "Loden" color. If you're into this style of cap, you might want to pick it up in a few different colors and sizes, as all of them are going to fit slightly differently on your head.
