To get a cap with that much drape you might have to go custom. Wigens longshore mans cap is close the the side seam is a swope.
I'm new to the site but I would appreciate your help finding a specific cap style. I believe it is called a single piece crown in a newsboy style or something like that. Basically a newsboy without the eight piece seams and without the button. These are hard to find as I have searched all the sellers posted in this thread and everything on ebay and ebay UK. I think this was common in the 20s but I may be mistaken. I have a photo of what I am searching for, any assistance would be appreciated. Hopefully it's not a custom made >$200 cap.

I bought a couple of 1950s French caps yesterday, which I'll be selling on. One 58cm, one 59cm. Hélice club.Hélice is "propeller". Blue-ish grey with flecked overcheck. Summer weight fabric. Lovely crown imprint.
