The Cap Faction

[gear-guy]

8/4 unlined working cap made with selvedge denim by Barry . I sent him a NWT pair of Levi's Vintage Clothing 1955 501XX I had lying around for 10 yrs. Their cut is too slim-fit for my tastes so I never wore them. The selvedge is on the sweatband.

Yep....Greg is the cap king. He has great caps, and years them all well!!

+1 and his hat rack has some star quality lids hanging on it. You can hang a terrible cap on a leading man and it is stly'n, while you hang the same cap on a common man and it identifies him as a bread line dude. IMO, you have the mug for caps or you do not. Know your limits. (FWI: I knew long ago I was not destined to be a male supermodel or even date female supermodels. Not sad, just a personal recognition. )

Vive la France!

Interesting, rlk! Never seen a Mossant cap - they did some of the best hat ads I've ever seen.

 

[Stuffsmith]

Here's some freakiness to wake up your optic nerve. Made from precious scraps from a tailor's suiting... 1930's wool, vintage cotton liner, etc. The Grand Prix! With a quiet little box pleat in back...

Wow!

Beautiful,Keith.

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Every good pattern matching Keith I bet that was fun to do

 

[hatsRme]

Stupendous, Keith!

Robert that Mossant is magic, man! Eye-catching, too, to say the least.

 

[herringbonekid]

great cap Keith.

is there a practical reason for the extra piece of fabric (cotton twill ?) behind the leather band ?

 

[mikespens]

The GP gets me revved up Keith!

 

[Stuffsmith]

HBK - I attach the leather to the strip of twill first, then that assembly gets sewn into the cap. I find it's neater for me - easier to control on a normal sewing machine. I don't have dedicated sweatband machine like our master capmakers, so that has been my workaround! I've seen a few vintage ones that were done that way, so I felt better about it!

My latest Archer cap. Back pleats and band, with the addition of a box pleat in front and a crown strap. 1940's wool crépe that shines like copper, 1940's kimono silk liner with 1920's silk stripes. Vintage brass snap and buckle, 1930's 'For Gentlemen' buttons.

Keith, your talent is not just limited to your unique and badass caps, your whole design ethos and talent for presenting your art is amazing. "For Gentlemen" or Young Rascals, your caps are truly worthy.

 

[dh66]

Exceptional details Keith, and that unbelievable fabric is icing on the cake!! Nice one!

 

[hatsRme]

Delightful details, stellar styling, EXCELLENT execution, Keith!!! You have (again) expanded the scope of cap fashion in The Cap Faction!

 

[RJR]

Really nice,Keith.
