How on earth did you find Bulgarian fabrics in Down Under?

Another stunner indeed. How many caps do you have by now?

Its a copy and paste thread. oh well. Just copy and paste then.
After all, this thread did all the work already.

and eventually you'll have to wad through page and page to see what you like on that one.

We don't have just one thread for suits, but rather one for vintage pics, one for vintage inspired new suits, one for tailoring tips etc.
My intention was to perhaps move in a similar system for caps, as someone has pointed out there is a mix of modern, repro, vintage inspired and vintage in one big thread here.

I disagree that it is a copy-paste thread, as I posted some screenshots on there that I haven't seen here before.
I don't think any aggravation is necessary.

Well said, Metatron. I also have many pics that haven't been posted on this thread, and will continue posting them from time to time on the vintage thread. Those who don't like it, don't have to look at it. :eeek:

Absolutely. If all the vintage suits were on one thread it would be madness, why should it be different for caps? It also worth remembering that not everyone who reads the FL actually posts here. There will be some people using it simply as a visual resource for vintage cap photos etc. Modern interpretations (as WO derful as they are and as much as I love them) will be irrelevant to that reader.

Here is how I have seen it work on threads. If there is no meaningful discussion on a thread it will sink down below the first page on a forum. Once it goes below the second page it will require a dedicated poster to bump it back into the first page otherwise thread will keep floating down till users forget about it.
So let the thread sink or swim. Time will tell. This thread is a total information thread on Caps for people to find and will always be close to the top page as it has more interesting info. For the new user to find.

Interesting liner DamianM, I've seen them before. It's as if there was a Canadian national cap company or something.

Amazing Barry cap Flat Foot Floey, my Simonds probably get's the most wear of my caps.
