In another thread we have been talking about custom made caps.

My lady wanted some linen ones so we ordered the fabric to send to B ! WEAR CAP CO. :clap

We got the Turquoise, Cerise, Olive Night,,White

.

Med Weight??

http://www.denverfabrics.com/Mercha...4203&Category_Code=LI-medium&Product_Count=36 " Dark Denim"


Brett, The Master Capper does not know if if the Medium Weight will work the dark denim may be to light in weight for a cap so I took a chance. I can have something else made out of the linen.!!

He also orderd some other linens in other colors also.
This is the other posts to catch you up. :)

SHARPETOYS,

I wanted to thank you for all of the help you provided. I visited a huge fabric mill yesterday in West Springifield MA and am sending off two 1/2 yards to Brett.....both pretty classic but the colors I knw will work for me. Does Brett only do Newsboy style caps? That was my thought, just wasn't sure by your note....

The big apple caps I have seen on line just seem too big for me..I like the ivy cap, but not the ones you get in England as I find them too narrow, but the Borsalino I just got is really quite nice, full enough without being too big looking....I did try on one of their 8 panels and liked the patterned much better than the solids, but I was just not thrilled with the selection...why I am having Brett make me two caps..not having seen his work I am very hopeful I will love the style and the fit of these. I do think the 8 panel will be more my favorite because of the fuller nature of teh cap..

Brett, I'm sure will answer also. He does do other styles. I love his Newsboy caps thats all I have ordered so far . They are 8 panels. I'm 58 yrs old and people say the cap makes me look younger.

I have I think about 10 more on order several for my lady and myself.

The # 16 is just a fun cap and people stop me and ask me where I got it. Heck! I have thousand dollar plus Montecristi Fedora's and I get more comments on his caps.

Try a #16 if I'm wrong I'll pay you for the hat!! I promise. My word is my bond. :)

Brett, sent me some business cards and I keep them in the pocket of the cap and just pull one out and give it to them.

I want one of his Speedsters next {# 21.} In the same denim as my #16 . He has different colors of denim. :cool:

He really is a Master Capper. I know I play on here at times but I give great refferals or so I've been told.I sure love my Master Cappers and Real Master Hatters. :)

To me that would be an 8 panel newsboy.
You might want to look thru the Cap Faction thread.
