The Cap Faction

[Stuffsmith]

LOL! 1mach1, when I've made another few of this one and can get my production time down under four days ( think I'm joking?!), I will work out how much I can sell them for. Thank you for asking, and others for private messages!

If you are ever interested in making a sale, I am your man!
By the way, I visited your home town last month and had a blast!

Yep, I'll be wanting the style with the rear pleats.

 

[Stuffsmith]

Many thanks, friends!!

Great reproduction Keith. Absolutely amazing work.
I need to check in more often, I've missed a lot of good ones.

Another one that's far too large for me. This G. A. Dunn & Co cap is size 60, and probably dates to the 1930s. I'll be selling this soon, should anyone in that size be interested.

Beautiful cap, Baron. It appears that the sweatband is fabric instead of leather. Is that correct, or am I seeing it wrong?

 

[Pinesiw]

Looks like leather sweat to me, but yes thats a beauty!

You're probably right.

That ones construction looks just like the one for Marcs 4 piece 20s knicker suit

 

[Baron Kurtz]

It does, yes, from what I remember of that suit. It's pretty standard (prob the most common) British construction of the day. Another one I sold to Marc, made in UK for an American dept store - I forget which ([EDIT] it was Saks) - was the same.

[ANOTHER EDIT] Yes the sweatband is leather, with Real Roan Leather embossed.

 

[Simonds]

Nice one, BK!

 

[Stuffsmith]

I'd like to extend the invitation, for those who just can't get enough, to join me in a new 'closed' cap group on Facebook called 'Cap Department'. It's been up for a few days and has been a blast so far. Viva la bunnet!

 

[DAJE]

Oh, that looks cool, request sent. I'm more of a lurker than a contributor here, but I do love my caps.

 

[Stuffsmith]

I want to make clear that the Cap Department is not a replacement for this here fine and dandy forum. I love this place and I'm sure it will have a long and healthy life. I just have lots of contacts on Facebook that aren't part of the lounge, and I know there's crossover between the two. The more the merrier, I say!

Having an outlet where people can gather and share their fondness for something that is a positive influence in their lives (and will hopefully influence the lives of others in a positive way) is a good thing. The more the merrier? You bet! Spread the word! :thumb:
