A nice blog entry, and an even lovelier cap. That fabric is great - if only it weren't torn.

Wonderful, and well deserved! That cap is brilliant!The excellent vintage fashion blogger Arnaud Bauville of 'French Can-Can' just posted a lovely piece about the newsboy cap I made him out of 100-year-old patched Japanese fabric.
You can read it here.

This is a Sterkowski Biker's Cap. Would it be just too odd to wear one of these while not riding a panhead? I am taken with it, but I am probably already thought to be peculiar for regularly wearing a hat (including even a beret from time to time) and I would not care to move from "slightly odd" to "weirdo."
Thanks(?) for your post, babygirl. Perhaps you missed my wording: "...Should all else fail." Blackthorn was asking about options, and my offer was just expanding his possibilities. I don't think there is a person who follows this thread who doesn't see how supportive and enthusiastic I am of both Johnny and of Barry's excellent work. I own several of each maker's handiwork and have pointed several people their way for business.
I have never posted a cap I've made to sell in this forum, merely a few vintage ones. In fact only a few weeks ago Johnny posted some vintage caps here for sale as well. I haven't felt that anyone was pushing hard to sell on this thread and that most are appreciative of seeing what's out there and offered.
That may be more to the point, it is more about you. Nevertheless, I won't post anything relating to sales on this forum again.
