    This thread seems to have gone quiet. Here's today's ensemble featuring a Five Points cap up top, in a vintage wool received in a fabric swap with Johnny C.

    Hi gang! Wanted to post a new straw cap I made (probably a one-off as it took metres of fabric to get the pattern to match). Handwoven Vietnamese indigo-dyed hemp straw.

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Nice capping, boys! Made a special 8/4 panel cap ("The Giles") a few days ago from a rare-as-hens-teeth piece of genuine c.1910s/20s Stifel cloth. It was a labor of love.

    Carefully reproduced from a 1921 advertisement (seen below), THE KLOSEFIT KAP is available here in this stylish vintage wool crépe with a bold bouclé pinstripe and rich red cotton interior. The unique left/right double snap system keeps the crown 'klose' to the visor for a cap that can't be...

    Eddie, sorry for the late response, but that ginger tweed cap is the bee's knees. And you wear it well! :)

    A new show-and-tell. This knockout tweed was a fabric swap with Cordova, and was exactly enough for a single cap. I’ve held onto it for two years in hopes I could do it some justice someday. I took a deep breath, cut it up and made this Five Points cap from it. It was hard to decide which side...

    Hi gang - long time no check-in! Lots of good stuff posted recently! Special props to Michael A for some wonderful creations! Go for it, buddy, it's an addictive activity, to be sure! To address your question, you can find some stiff card stock which is what was used in many old caps for the...

    The Well Dressed Head - Bespoke and Vintage Period Caps

    Meet 'La Gapette', the newest addition to The Well Dressed Head. Inspired by a design pictured in a 1913 hatter's magazine (the 'Model N.P.', or Norfolk Pleat), this fancy-back flat cap complements the pleated-back suits and coats of the day. Built inside and out of rare French 1920s workwear...

    Thanks, folks! I did indeed take LOTS of time to work the mechanics out. Almost did me in. The inverted pleat there is deceptively hard to pull off. On a side note, I've since redesigned the inverted pleat in the middle to go all the way to the front and back, after getting some...
