Was that copied from old catalogues or is it your own design?

I thought I seen this vintage design somewhere, but I can't find the original picture.

 

[DamianM]

probably a Brassai Photograph, But yes Its a vintage design nut nonetheless, great Job.

Unfortunately most of my design names for that one would be filthy/rude. My analyst tells me I see them everywhere.:eusa_doh:

I like the look of it, and the fabric is great. Would make a nice jacket.

For the British market maybe call it The Zippy.

No wonder I got so aroused..........

Johnny, you could re-use an old cap nume: Venty-Cumf. I'll bet that patent has lapsed.

How long is the wait for a cap, Johnny?

You're a very cheeky boy, Baron.

I can see that design looking very nice paired with a sportcoat in a matching colour (better yet, same fabric). I like the squarish star one very much.

You might want to look at this website, it's the London Cloth Company. Myself HBK, BK and Barmey visited the mill, which is the only one in London. They make some fantastic cloths.

Some nice cloth. How are the prices? Are they cheap enough to make a cap at a reasonable cost. That would be the important part.
I liked the Jade Tweed one.

Ed, the prices can be seen on the 'shop' page of the website. They are around £20 to £25 per metre. There are only limited amounts available of each cloth due to his usually weaving to order. So not everything is available for one off lengths.

Now, if we had enough people to order 30 metres (which I think is the minimun for custom orders) we could design our very own, one-off, Fedora Lounge cap lovers fabric!
