Dont know how to insert pictures so far.........

Greetings wsan_hunter! Nice to see you here. Hope you find it as interesting and fun as I (we!) do.

Manfred, you dog, I was trying to see if anyone would be fooled! It is indeed. Glad you liked it, Johnny, that's high praise from you! Here's the interior, as long as you don't look too closely. Outside it's 1930's art deco wool, inside 1920's silk kimono liner and 1920's grosgrain band.



Tell you one thing, I ain't givin' up my day job.

Great cap, Pete!! I don't know why, but it screams Little Rascals to me. Very cool!

Lots of great caps rolling by here now - Andy, GREAT score on your Wigens! That one is perfect on you, and you look happy under it!

That's pretty neat job you've done there, great cloth!

Thanks, Esteban! I just finished pulling the ribbon back out and re-doing it, and it's much cleaner and stronger now. I'm also re-blocking it for a nicer form. Big big learning curve. I'll post new pix when it's looking ship-shape.

Great job on the cap Keith. It's a fantastic looking fabric too.

That's a pretty neat little piece of history you found, Baron Kurtz. Keith may be thinking little rascals, but I'm thinking Angus Young.

This pic was really about the jacket but the cap really makes the overall look. It is a John Richard.

Nice cap. And jacket. And shirt. And really nice background in the shot.

[Johnny J]

Strange. Something to do with your settings? They're in the latest post on my blog, if you're interested in seeing them.

Yeah, I don't know what happened, but yesterday I couldn't see them or your blog, but now its ok. Thanks.

Keith, that is a fabulous job! Very well done for your first cap! Or, is it your first cap?

Manfred - I just won a Wigens cap on ebay (supposedly worn once by original owner) for a ridiculously low price. It was listed as new without tags, and it looks that way.

This City Sport arrived in this morning's mail. TJones if you're reading this - you were right. I think this City Sport looks pretty good on me. I may always prefer fedoras, but I like caps from time to time.

Andy, the City Sport looks absolutely great my friend! I knew you could pull it off with the right cap, and you pulled it off very well.

 

[Stuffsmith]

+1, Andy!

Big thanks Dale, Manfred, Dane!

Nice post, Orvil! The background is an insane distraction from your fine clothing - incredible, all of it!

Resortes805, you are a lucky dog to have such a spectacular cap - good work, Cordova. I expect a noggin shot forthcoming!

Thanks so much, Johnny! I appreciate it. It gives me new and deeper respect for what you do so finely.

It is indeed my first *completed* cap. The other 8 dart that I showed a few weeks ago is on hold for my buckram and some spectacular 1920's moire grosgrain ribbon to show up. Will post as it finishes.

Encouragement from you and Barry goes a long way. I'm about to re-do this one already...

I think we need more info on this one?!! Was it made from deadstock cloth, or a garment cut up? or what? Nice!

I guess I should have taken a picture of this Palm Beach coat before I cut it up. It was in pretty bad shape so Niko ended up sending it to me to make a cap.

Great Cap resortes, lovely fabric!

I picked up this Capas a couple months ago. it's finally getting cool enough to wear it.
