One piece cap

[Matt Deckard]

Found this at at a vendor at Ft. McArthur Days in San Pedro.

Very common cap in the 30's, stood side by side with the 8 piece caps.
One piece of fabric for the crown and a bill and liner.

Ah yeah! That's a sweet cap! I really dig that one for some reason, the color and the fit and drape is just perfect!

Good show!

Get a better picture, I wanna see some detail. Any modern makers/vendors?

 

[Wild Root]

Sorry Bob, that's a vintage cap Matt bought. They had a stack of them there for sale.

Dang! :rage:

Got this one at Herbert Johnson! I wasn't going to leave there empty handed, but their indy lids weren't up to par.

Putting a lid on it Matt...

You make style out of a tile! Matt. I just love those old caps you keep coming up with. Just wish I could see some at this end of the pond! I used to wear a Herbert Johnson cap (but a modern, English Gents one) for shooting, but those newsboy ones just harken back to the vintage days that I so love.

 

[Biltmore Bob]

Is it a flat cap? Or a Driving Cap? Is it kind of like a five point?

Nice! I like one pieces now that I own two from the 30's. The originals are the only ones that look any good sadly.

=WR=

It's because the originals are big puffy and one piece.
