I finally found the time to take some pictures of my Simonds cap. Thank you so much, Barry. Awesome cap.

Yes, indeed. I think it was posted here or in the other thread before it was send to me. I just didn't took the time to make some pictures before. The v-pleat is a great detail and still very clean looking.

Thanks, Feraud, I see another cap maker on here scored some of this vintage wool. It's a little on the heavy side but really worked out great for this cap.

The french canvas worked great, BK.

I imagine with that stuff it's difficult to get a good sharp dart with all the bulk of the fabric.

Do you think you'll find a source for French canvas over there? It shouldn't be too difficult, I wouldn't think. It is a very basic tailoring supply.

BK, it's the cut and sewing technique that allows the corners to be rounded. I do have 2 other patterns, but I keep reaching for this one. Do you prefer the pointy dart over the contour ones? The buckham I'm using is very close to the french canvas, but I do think the french canvas is made a lot better. Thanks for sending that to me btw! Here is a newer 8 panel cap also that I have been working on. I have redesigned the rear of the cap and constructing them a little differently.
