Customer Reviews Brixton Brood

Nice hat with a lot of style. Brixton makes high quality hats with plenty of steeze. In fact I like Brixton so much I named my new puppy just that. Then there's Zappos who never disappoints, best Internet company ever. Brixton and Zappos, get yourself some!

Great fit and style. The quality of the material and construction is one of the major draws to buying the Brixton brand for me. I feel this is no exception.

The Brixton Brood is a great cap and seems quite well made. Trying to find any sort of "true" newsboy shaped cap is next to impossible these days. I ordered the woolblend tweed, which has a beautiful lining and a comfortable head band. I've always loved the newsboy look ever since I was stationed in Berlin in East Germany before the Wall fell (1980's). The larger, loose (slightly) floppy look is more in keeping with my face shape and active cruiser motorcycle lifestyle than the more dapper, tight formed and trim driver/cabbie/golfer caps. Zappos delivery was very prompt and exactly on time as stated. Unfortunately, the size I chose has proven to be too large for my actual head, which greatly really surprised me. I'm a actual 7 5/8 (that's 59 in European size). I chose the 7 3/4 since most hats I get tend run smaller than expected. The cap I received is loose and touches my ears. I can get a full finger thickness between my head and the headband. Thus, it probably wouldn't stay on in a breeze or while bending over, so I'm returning it for the 7 1/2. I'm hoping this proves to be as quick and easy as getting it in the first place proved to be. I'll definitely get another one from Zappos. I'm only waiting to ensure the new size will be correct before doing so. I'd like an additional one that will do well in warmer weather as well. So I'm sure I'll probably end up with at least two Broods. I'll wait to see how the new size works out and report back on that. Other than ordering the wrong size, I see absolutely nothing with the product and strongly recommend it if you are into the style worn in the late '20s to early '40s by most blue collar workers.

I found the Brixton Brood hat I purchased from Zappos to be of fine quality, and I am very pleased with this hat.

I purchased this hat for my son. He loves it! The hat is not as poofy on the sides as others I looked at, which he likes. The button on top makes the hat so classy.

I have been searching for a reasonably priced news boy hat for three years. When I found this through Zappos I was really excited. I love that hat! It was exactly what I was looking for. As for Zappos it is an awesome company and their customer service folks are the best. They are courteous, very helpful and very enthusiastic. I highly recommend Zappos to all my family members and friends. Also, I have gotten lots of compliments about my hat. I love it.

Very cute hat. I bought this for myself, (I'm a woman). I needed something to put on, after taking off a motorcycle helmet. Can't help with the fit, just guessed, but a med. fit great.

What can anyone say about a hat? Well, it fits me great, compliments my style of dress, whether dressed up in business attire for work or casual dress just hanging around on the weekends. Have recieved a few compliments and smiles which is always nice. Last but not least, keeps my head warm in colder weather!

High quality. Thought I'd need an XL or an L but turns out I need a M. Good thing there's free shipping!

This Brood is very warm on my head, and the fit is perfect. It really helps with my thinning hair that I have going through chemotherapy for prostate cancer. You are a very reputable company. Keep up the great work. Happy holidays!

Came faster than expected. Shipping was free, which was a surprise. Fits great.

I really like my new hat, it fits well. It appears to be well made and I wear it frequently. Zappos' service is still the best in the business.

Received my hat in a prompt manner and I am very happy with the quality. Customer support was very helpful as well.

This is a great hat that I wear daily in the winter (even though I still have a thick head of hair). It has very nice material, tailoring, and fit. The lining material is superb. It's worth the price, bloke. I have received compliments on it.

I purchased this cap as a gift for my father-in-law who was looking for a semi-floppy retro look. This cap delivers. Zappos service was prompt and efficient.

I searched high and low for this type of cap and at a reasonable price. I ordered from two other companies, and ended up returning the caps because the quality was bad. This Brixton cap is beautifully made, fit is true to size, price was reasonable. Yayyyyy Zappos!

I got this in the gray/black herringbone and the black herringbone twill. The gray/black herringbone is beautiful and fits perfectly. I bought this for my move from sunny SoCal to a very cold wintery town with lots of know. Time will tell if this hat keeps me warm. But either way, its super stylish and I like wearing it anyways :) A note: the black herringbone twill fit weird. It didn't look right at all and was uncomfortable on my head.

Great hat. Nice sturdy craftsmanship, yet light on the head. Fits well straight on or cocked. True to size.

I love this hat. As a designer, I'm guilty of consciously wearing matching colors, so this hat works pretty universally when wearing brown or black, as there is both in the tweed pattern. It is comfortable, doesn't suffocate my head, and is warm in the often chilly San Francisco climate. My only complaint is that there was a hard pressed wrinkle when I got it in a box in the mail, so I'm manually fixing it, but it's really not a big deal.

This is a good one. Too warm for the summer, but great for the early spring, winter and fall. Color is true to the photo. As for fit - I ordered a large (hat size 7 1/2) - but truly wear a 7 3/8 - so I have a little room to spare, but not much. It runs a little bigger than my Goorin in the same style. The snap on the brim is cool - gives you a couple of different ways to wear it.

My favorite style from the Brixton line. Fits true to size, but I like to order mine a size bigger to get the full-on newsies look. With as many Brixton Brood's I own, I could probably start my own rendition of Newsies.

I have worn a wool newsboy hat for 35 years but the lining is gone and the bill almost non-existent. I have looked for a long time for a replacement and finally bumped into the Zappos site and the Brixton Brood Hat. When my wife saw me wearing the new hat she said "that looks like the young you!" Thanks Zappos.

I have been looking for a cap that looks like they style cap that was worn during the depression era of the 1930's. In my past, I bought what I thought was the right style, only to find I was wrong. I then came across the Brixton Brood. I couldn't believe what I saw; there was the cap I was looking for. I called Zappos and was connected to a wonderful customer service rep. She was more than helpful and answered any questions I had. I placed my order with no hesitation, yet fearful of making another wrong purchase. I was told I made my order before 1:00pm PST and was able to get an overnight free delivery. I couldn't believe what I was hearing thinking this all couldn't be true. The following day U.P.S. came to my door with my cap. I opened up the boxes that it came on and couldn't believe my eyes. I quickly put it on and went to a mirror to see what it looked like. There was the cap I was looking for all this time. I took it off and tried it on again and found it to be a very comfortable fit as well, not like others I had bought. I not only had a smile on my face, but a feeling that I also found a wonderful place to do whatever shopping needs I have in the future. I will certainly tell my friends and family about Zappos. If you have a fear of buying through the internet I trust, you'll find this is a wonderful site to buy from.

Best fitting hat ever purchased. I own a few of these caps,first Brixton. Finely made ,great fit.

Great hat! Fits comfortably and seems high quality. Very reasonably priced as well!
