Hello St, V & Thank You
Al's Attire is a old school shop. You go in talk ,measure up, He takes a lot of photos of you, pick your own fabrics, linings, details, you come back for a fitting, they take care of any adjustments. I dont think they do stuff on-line or by phone. un-less you have been there & he had you measurements & remembered what type of fabrics you need for your
enviorment.....Than he does ship out stuff to clients. but heck if you know your exact size.. for a cap maybe you can try to email him or call... they dont have a good web site & dont advertise so they really do things old school... you walk in there & your transformed to a diffrent time zone.....as for calls to the shop they hardly answer the phone & dont really reply back to messages.
But Al has been pretty good with answering emails lately..
try a email handmade@alsattire.com ,Tell him Che sent you that might help
the caps arent cheap but a very good deal for the quality & are much less than something like a M F cap..
Im lucky im on the family plan there very lucky..
thank you again

I've got a question for the cap people. My favorite sport is rowing and sculling and we always wear a ball cap. The vintage caps are like this one.



Has anyone seen anything like this eight panel, made of cotton? I'd really like to replace the ball caps. I've checked ebay and googled, but only come up with ball caps.

I'm not concerned about the embroidery.
