A-3 cap

[Greg Gale]

So, if I didn't want to wash and shrink it I'd better go for the smaller one? My head is the same size as yours.

BTW, how do you like your new wool caps?

Why not wash it? I'm under the impression that the smaller one will be too small if you're a 59.

Love the wool caps! I was surprise at first that the A-4 was so "small", almost not covering the ears, but I really dig the look and it seems "period correct". I think that those can be hardly beaten for the price!

I just received my Bronson A-3 cap, size 7 1/2. Perfect fit on my 58-59 cm head. The cap is better than the QMI one I have, I really like the quality.

Bronson in general are releasing some top notch bits , all quality.

Bronson upped their game a bit. Good repros for very reasonable prices IMO.

Still not sold on the profile of the Bronson cap. Looks too '39Fifty' to me....

Here you go, it’s still a bit wrinkly because of the recent shipping:

FYI, here’s a comparison shot of the Bronson and the DeBrabander A-3 caps. The Bronson is the lighter shade on the left with the more pronunced AAF stamp. I prefer the color of the Bronson, otherwise they are quite similar.

Nothing could be 'lighter' than this!

I have 2 of the DeBrabander A-3, one that I haven't worn much yet, one that is now covered in grease. Nothing bad to say about those, bang on for the price!
