Haven’t yet worn my cap out in public as I can’t remember whether or not it can be worn in, say, light drizzle. Still love it though. Hope my review is published by now.

Another really nice spring / summer cap that can probably be worn in other seasons as well. I already had the khaki version so decided to go for the navy as well as it's very versatile. This is probably my favourite of the summer options; I have a linen newsboy / Brooklyn and a linen Sicilian but I think the cotton newsboy / Brooklyn has the best shape and retains it as it doesn't crease as much as the linen ones.
