It'd be nice if they had flatter seams and a button that sat down

Sleepless night for me this night... so I´m here at very unsusual times.
That cap looks very fine on you, Lou!
Thanks for your kind words, Johnny!
Adnamira - That cap suits you well.
If you feel through the fabric and touch the sewing allowance:
Is it ironed to one side?
How much sewing allowance can you feel (e.g. 1/2 or 5/8 inch)?
Is it a 6 panel or 8 panel?
As I remember from other pictures I have seen from Zasu Caps the panels are not totally pointed at the center seams?
The pieces look more triangular to me and less curved, so doing a better ironing should not be a big deal.
I suppose the sewing allowances are not cut back, so the seams are not that flat.
To avoid this (if you can´t block the caps) you have to cut back the seams, slit it a bit and do a good ironing on the curvier parts (best done with a cushioned ironing incus) and may top stich it (that´s how I flat the seams)... but that means more time and working steps on every cap.
Speaking of the button it looks like he uses a bomb type button with a bigger loop... you can´t attach those types of buttons closer to the the center.
I´ll have a very similar looking hickory stripe denim for my caps.
I even can get a sriped japan denim from Kurabo... but that stuff is pricey not only because of taxes and shipping I would have to pay.
