[seabass]

Thanks ! Mike, Tom & Simonds....
Tom all the grandkids have a good collection going Fedoras too....& they love em

Simonds, Good news for the Toddler cap concept..

OHHHHH YEA !
Looks Good from all Pics... the fabric seems perfect to hold its unique shape & corners & folds..
Marcs Cap was probably a Whipcord type fabric

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Yes it was whipcord which is a hard fabric to find now day's.

Thanks Johnny, this one has been very difficult to make, because of the bill. I have turned my attention to that again and it's been a struggle for me.

Good fabric's are not easy to come by

Found some Brown Denim herringbone just enough to make two 8 panels.

Caps look great. It's cool to see someone chasing their dream.

Thanks, Frank, Still a work in progress though. I have been reworking some details, changing a few things.

Thanks, It's a challenge sometimes, really enjoy it most of the time. Now if I could just find the dining room table.

Simonds: Question. (I didn't read all 292 posts on this thread, so you may have previously answered this question, so forgive me if it's redundant.) Do you take commissions? Would you be able to make a cap out of the remains of an old tweed jacket that has seen better days, but still has some good material? (Even tho it's coming apart at the seams.) Thanks!

The taupe denim would make an awesome work cap!

 

[Simonds]

Yes it does, Tom.

Barry congrats on that zig zag stitching on your leather sweatband. Looking better all the time!

Thanks, JC! I've began constructing the caps totally different now and yes have started installing the leather sweats with an zig zag stitch. Same goes to you, your work gets better with time also, amazing I must say.

WOW, Barry... That's an awesome looking lid!

Yes Barry, I like that folded back cap! Did you make it with a leather sweatband? What does the inside look like?
