Thanks Doug. Yeah I made it. It's sort of a cross between a peaked hat, a motorcyle cap and a fisherman's cap. Or that's my take at least. It can be worn in flat cap mode as well. I should probably make some more of them out of a better quality fabric.
Sharp eye!! Yes. Simone is very happy [emoji1]
Does it show a brand name?

Looking at the forecast for wind gusts to 40 mph today I thought cap.

But when I went out to take the photos the wind wasn't too bad, and it was frickin cold. So an overcoat and the Knox Grafton came into play.

Off to look at hat pictures now. Have a good one,
Michael
one of my absolute favs of yours ... which is insane because you have some mother f**$%rs
Thanks Cristina. I think the pattern is from an out of print set of cap and hat patterns from Vogue. I really should see if I can find it around here in my mess again and sew a few more of this one. Most of my flat caps and newsboys I drafted myself.
Thank you guys, that's very kind of you to say. You are real gentlemen
After a brimless weekend, I needed something more substantial today. This hat was hand made by a talented German lady, who did a great job although she could perhaps use some pointers from @EstherWeis or @Kuki here on how to cut a brim with a steady hand, because it's a just tiny bit wobbly on occasion. It doesn't really show that much, but I have considered adding binding to make it look smoother. On the plus side, I really like the overall shape and the felt is of high quality, beautifully soft and pliable but without any of the annoying floppiness that plagues many modern women's hats.
I think the Knox is a late 50's from investigations in the threads here in the past.
Nope I bought it in the brick and mortar shop, one of my grand dad's was born in Navia, Asturias, so I have relatives in Oviedo, one of my uncle's was the finance minister of the Principado, don't blame me for it !!! And during a trip to visit them I got the beret !!! Small world indeed
