I have to give props where they're due - a while back fellow lounger Chepstow posted up a pic of himself in a sweet looking brown plaid Stetson cap. A plaid had been on my radar for awhile, and I really dug the colors of his. I was inspired, and found this one on the ebay. Woolrich plaid wool fabric made by capas. It was fairly inexpensive, which made it do-able in light of my other recent aquisition (baby Teagan)

Thanks Keith. See it in action in the WHAYWT thread. It'll be getting plenty of head time soon.

Here's an outstanding early 1920's belted-back flat cap. I don't have anything like this one - it has that wonderfully blocky shape typical of the time period. Nice ear flaps too.

Try saying 'Flat Cap Flaps' ten times and report your success rate.

Ohhhh, holding out on us, ehhhh??? She's lovely, and that cap really suits her! Please wish her a belated birthday from California (yes, I've nominated myself to speak for the entire state).

I have to admit, I wasn't completely sold on this cap until I saw it on your head in the "What Hat Are You Wearing Today?" thread; it look far better on your head! And belated good wishes to the newest member of your family!

Thanks Johnny! Yes, it's a real beauty.

Hi Milliedog! Welcome. Nice to see some more Under(Millie)dogs here. I'm in the process of photographing some caps, at which point I'll make an announcement all proper-like. Should be another week. Thanks for asking!

Keith

Love the fabric pattern on the vintage earflapper Keith.
Here's an action shot of the new one.

It's an 8 panel Che but the way the pattern is matched does give the illusion of 4. Had to look twice myself.
