Cloths look very nice! Thanks for the heads up!

Now, thats a good question Ed. It depends on the style of caps and also width of bolt, but you could probably get 4 caps from 1 meter, so that would be approximately 120 caps.

Here is another example of what you can do changing up the fabrics on this style cap:

I think it's pretty spot on for a vintage font, actually. The "7" maybe is a bit 60s, and could do with having the descender squared off. but that's nitpicking. What you've got is distinctive while referential, and that's more important than exact reproduction in things like size labels.:eusa_clap

What would be the cost for a basic, lined 20s/30s 8-panel – excluding fabric costs? And about how much fabric is typically needed?
