Simonds, welcome, I see that is the right place for you. Great looking caps, indeed. Are all self made?
Please post some informations about the caps!

My new eight panel cap arrived from Bela (Hepville Gents Clothing). The material is linen & cotton, brown herringbone.

Looks great on you, BR!

Can anyone recommend a place a fellow might pick up a heavy-cotton cap like this:

Something more workwear oriented than the average wool cap. Thanks!

 

[Chepstow]

Looks great on you, BR!

agree!

Anyone buy this French 1940s one? It's a beauty, but I'm still not convinced a size 7 flat cap is over $100's worth. Ho hum.

Nice job Simonds! They all look good. Any chance you can post some pictures of the insides? Hope this isn't the last we see of you!

Thanks mikespens, I will get some pictures up for you. I am using 8 piece liners at the moment, I am liking the round liners and the leather sweat bands I'm seeing here in the lounge, I would like to try that sometime. Unless I loose my internet I should be around for awhile!

Welcome !
Those caps are great is the 1st cap a 6 panel? or 8 like the rest..
Great work ! Lining too. I like the Bill a good size & no Mushroom effect...
is this a hobby or do you sew for a living ?
I like to see how they come out with a Leather Sweat It would really support that great profile your caps have & conform well for diffrent shaped heads.
Keep em nice & clean too with the leather...
Look forward to seeing more of your Caps ! A treat for the eyes.
Thank you for Posting.:eusa_clap

Thank you seabass for the kind words! All my caps are now 8 paneled. I started out making 6 paneled caps, but moved up to the 8's. I like them much better. My caps are only a hobby at this time, but I would like to see it become a occupation someday! I have a few in a local consignment store here in my town, but they are not moving very well. Thanks again for the props!
