it was far dirtier than I thought the water wash really filthy when I washed it, now it's as fresh as a fresh thing can be fresh!

"Whaddadaya tink of my cap now, bitch?"
Yeah, esteban, it always stuns me how much dirt and oil come out of a cap. 10 times more than it looks like there should be.

In my case, it would have gone from "pudding basin" to "puddin' head".
A job well done Esteban, it looks as good as new!

My pleated 'Le Couteau', in action up in Queensland, while teaching. This 1930's wool crepe is just stunning.

Nice one Keith! And fantastic colors. Do the students ever show any interest (or reaction at all) to a unique beauty like that?

Actually Dale, several of the students had been following my cap-sploits on Facebook, so they took a real interest in the history of the designs and looked forward to seeing new ones each day. Nice to be able to educate a bit about this obscure corner of fashion!

Took Inspiration from one of my original early 1920s caps with a fancy back
Made with 1940s windowpane wool with contrasting blue flecks running throughout.
