GR translation: manly crepe of an overseas cap

[Mike Jing]

I thought he was describing members of the audience.

I think I had it figured out.  If the overseas cap is indeed made of
crepe, which is a kind of fabric, then the word "manly" is simply
describing the shape of the overseas cap, not the fabric per se.
