What About the Smoking CAP?

[AlanC]

Alternatively, I'd be happy to copy the hat and make a pattern with a download link.......but it's very simple. I can't imagine that anyone needs a pattern of this hat. Or do you??

Probably.

They really are easy to make. I'm a Zouave reenactor and we wear both fezzes and collettes as head wear. You can whip out a simple one in no time.

You have gotta love the customers in this bar - a Zouave reenactor - what next for the Lounge??:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

You forgot to mention the $300+ price!

How much for just the tassle?

I own one, but never did anything with it, so I tried to sell it.
It never sold on ebay, so I still have it. I'll post pics when I have time.

Send it toFeraud. His wife won't knit him one.

Man, that must be real gold and not just gold-colored then!

In my meanderings, I did come across a pattern. Looks like it takes someone with sophisticated needle skills though.

Found a source

I found a source for caps which could be considered Victorian Smoking Cpas, though they are NOT. Cost is $30-50, hand embrodered and hand-assembled I believe.

If you are interested, PM me.

I wonder if the guys at Fez-o-rama have ever seen something like this. The 'chapeau' they introduced within the last year or so is very similar to this. Not quite as many designs are available as with their fezzes, but....

Tempted by one myself. I've already got ten of their low profile fezzes, and two of the taller style. I first bought into them as a alternative to smoking caps, as all those I could find in the UK were overpriced or rubbish... or both. These are great, and keep my head warm in the Winter too.
