The Cap Faction

[splintercellsz]

Agreed! I really like the fabric. Definately to be a cooler weather cap, with the fur.

Great match Justin, looks like it fits pretty good? Sounds like you where able to leave it intact.
That cap inspired me to make the one in my avatar. The jacket accommodates it very well, lookin sharp!

 

[splintercellsz]

Many thanks, Simonds! It fit pretty tight when I first put it on, but through constant wearing, it is fitting better and better. I really like that one in your avatar, looks like this one, only better I can't wait to wear the Sport coat & cap combo tomorrow!

^Nice cap - great fabric

Modern rather than vintage, but the Christy's Linen 8-panel caps are my most worn summer caps (I've got three of them now in varying colours). They're cool enough for pretty much the warmest UK weather, and cope surprisingly well with a summer shower.

Just picked this up for 4 bucks at the thrift. cant date it but it is a nice full 6 panel cap.

'60s or later.

Thinking of having this stretched slightly and leather sweatband put in, what do you think guys?
It is vintage not sure the year

1920's, I have one similar to this.

[ManofKent]

Came in the mail today, my work cap this summer lightweight flannel

Nice flannel

 

[Pinesiw]

Thanks guys! Im just about set for this summer, all I want is one more cordova cap and ill be happy
I seen your cap over facebook ed, and ill say it again I especially like those salt n pepper tweeds, great 8 panel cap Ed!

Here's a cap I have had for 40 years now. Since high school long ago. The cap had ear flaps that where attached to the cap. Had Johnny change out the big button an put a small button on the crown. An he put a leather sweatband in the cap.

Next I had make a new 8 panel cap with vintage fabric Bert had found. The cap has the round profile of a vintage newsboy and has enough width to give the cap a nice drape. I always cock my caps to the right and this cap sits great on my head. I also spec'ed a longer bill.
As always Johnny's workmanship is top notch.

Johnny has a Malrov cap for a sweatband and size adjustment still.

Another Christy's Linen from the weekend:

 

[splintercellsz]

Pine, sweet flannel cap!

ManofKent, You sir, are one dapper fellow. Great lookin' cap!

This one arrived today. 1920s Deadstock Cap.
The liner logo says "High Grade Cap"
The sweat says "Real Russian Leather. Printed in U.S.A."

I am unsure if I want to remove the size label, as well... it has been there all this time, but then again, it sits noticably on the underside of the brim...

Without the tissue paper (most likely original to the cap)

On my noggin:

 

[Pinesiw]

Very cool look mano! Those IR's look great on you
Very good find splint! I like the fabric on that cap, I have one with a linen liner just like that but a brown herringbone fabric

 

[Chepstow]

Manof and Justin, your Caps looks great!

Justin, a Jackpot Cap. I think you should use steam to bring it in shape!

 

[ManofKent]

Thanks for the comments folks.

Nice find Justin - I'd want to keep the size label.
