Simonds Caps
JC, the thickness of the Jute is 1.35mm about the same as a dime. I really think if gives the cap a character all its own and compliments our vintage cut very nicely. -

Baron, I used a light/medium weight cotton canvas for the caps so they would be durable and a little less stressful for Che on keeping them clean. :) Btw, the jute I used for the NS cap turned out great, I love the weight and the support/structure it gives the caps! Thanks again for the advice! -
Simonds Caps
We beefed up the leather bills and straps with a 9-10 oz vegetable tanned cowhide and finished with oil dyes and acrylic top coat. I turned myself a burnishing wheel made from an old piece of Mahogany I had, it works much better and faster than the plastic "slicker" that was recommended. I am... -

Feraud,Thanks, I have finished up the pattern and completed 3 caps so far I am sending them to the customers this week and hopefully they will be posting pics once received. They have been much harder to construct than the concept cap due to the thicker leather I used. I must say that I enjoyed... -

Thanks guys, yes, it is a medium weight canvas that works great for the workwear caps. Got a request to make a new style, I guess you could say it's a motorist cap. Still tweaking the pattern as we speak but thought I'd share results so far. -

Thanks,HBK, for that bit of info on the caps, I wasn't aware of that being that most of the earlier caps that I have seen have the smaller button on the crown. I have also purchased fabrics that where not the weight as expected, pictures alone can be very deceiving and that goes for color too... -

Yes, RLK, very pricey for a US maker! The cost for a cap would run much higher than average. JC,They state the width in the product details as 150 cm wide. A little larger than an average yard HBK, What era of caps are you referring to? I'm curios as I was under the assumption that the 20's and... -
