I'm a big fan of that cap Manfred.

Howardeye the buckle detail on that one is really cool as well.

Nice, gear guy. Does it fare well, keeping you warm in a snowy place?

 

[gear-guy]

It does a good job, but like anything else when it drops too cold the toboggan comes out!

Makes sense.

hello all, id like to intruduce myself, my name is Tim, im from northern california, ive been on the fedora lounge cap faction for a couple of years now, but i have been too shy to post, ive been studying alot photos of vintage caps on here as well as in movies from the 30's and vintage photos as well, ive been teaching myself to sew and draw patterns to try to recreate the vintage cap shape, i havent owned a vintage cap yet but i think the shape i came up with is pretty close for just doing it by eye, here my latest attempt at making a cap, its lightweight italian wool with a bemberg rayon lining and a vegetable tanned sheepskin sweatband that i cut from a whole hide, i also use a black vintage style segma snap ,here are a couple pics

, i will add more later

Ahhhh, does a guy's heart some good. An official welcome to my new old friend Tim! (Tim and I have been bandying about on Facebook for a few months). The cap looks spectacular, both on and off. Looking forward to more pix and more of your creations. Oh, and more periods. Need more periods.
