The Cap Faction

[mikespens]

Keith, you are a natural talent. That logo looks professional and the sewing work too!
I think a new Cap maker is born. Well done my friend!

Completely agree with Manfred and love the vintage style logo. Nice fabric too! Look forward to pixs of the finished cap.

Thank you Mike & Manfred!

The logo part was a cinch - it's my logo for my jewelry and sculptural work, so that was a no-brainer. The sewing, well it's the first time I've driven a sewing machine so I don't feel confident there! But it's fun so far.

Storm rolls in, 40 mile an hour winds, good thing my 1930s French workwear cap can keep my hair under control.

Barry has this picture on his FB page and its a great looking cap! He also did a nice job making one very close to it with a little twist on the rear, but I don't remember anyone posting it up here, so here is a close up:

There is a fella out here in L.A. that has one of these original vintage caps.

Wow, I'd love to see one of those up close! Thanks for posting that pic and the reference to Barry's new design, Johnny. I love that you two are supportive and encouraging of each other. You're both top guys and great craftsmen.

Capas Headwear

I picked up this Capas a couple months ago. it's finally getting cool enough to wear it.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

You're welcome. As I've said before, I'm constantly destroyed that there wasn't one of the ten of 'em that fit me!

Baron Kurtz: Pete, I thank you every day for this cap!

Manfred - I love my Wigens cap. I may buy another I like the first one so much. Yours looks great.

Thanks Dale and Andy, indeed the swedish Cap maker knows his craft. I have 4 Wigens and all Caps are well made.
But new also very expensive in Germany!
This one is from Bay for 10,00 EUR in like new condition!

Andy, great to see more views of the Capas– goes so well with the crumb catcher!

Manfred, love the Wigens, especially from the side – really smart lid!
