Johnny J, you've probably answered this already and i missed it: what do you use inside the peak / bill ?

I use a thin plastic sheet that I cover with thin interfacing. Has been working out just fine and is not stiff, but pretty flexible. I have to sew the interfacing on to the plastic so it doesnt move around and bunch up when you bend it.
if you bent the peak down more at the sides would it spring back or stay put ?
also, have you ever take a 30s cap apart to see what material was used in the peak ?
thanks.
I've seen three materials inside the visors of vintage caps. The oldest was thick, saddle-grade leather. The most typical I've seen is cardboard. Occasionally, I've seen natural rubber (whose rubbery smell never goes away).
