Stuffy is this one that you made or found? The smiling shark cap.

Wish I can find some vtg fabrics like that for my caps.

Thanks! I am going to have to hunt through my wife's costume shop stock to see what might be available.

How much fabric is needed for an 8 panel cap?

I remember that robust hopsacky stuff. Was it an eBay auction?

Just yesterday I ordered a custom cap from one of the gents here on the Lounge. Not sure what name he goes by here. This I know - his work is amazing. Now the wait...

Can't wait to see it, Andy!

At least a 20"x30" piece of fabric if its a solid color or small pattern. More for plaids since you need to match up.

Thanks... a Cordova cap is on my short list.

Fine Caps Keith and Alan. Both looks great!
Bought that Cap on Bay! Better pics, if the Cap arrived!

Looks interesting Manfred. Can't wait to see an action shot. I like the profile of it.

Alan - you're looking snappy. I like that fabric pattern.

Manfred, that is a wonderful find! Please put up more pics with you wearing it from front, side and rear view. I can see it has pleats on the rear!

Nice score Manfred!

Here's one from Keith's new website, a NOS French Casquette in wool. Not the best pix, could barely get a quick selfy in the nasty weather here today.

Lookin' great, Mike! Suits you well! That fabric is killer.

Manfred, unreal find!! I agree with Johnny, must see more angles and noggin shots!

Thanks Keith, it is killer fabric.

Dale, I will get some better pixs of it eventually. The closer you look, the kooler it is.

Mike, you look true vintage dressed!
