The stamp has been long overdue and Florian(flat foot floey) really did and great job helping us make it possible.

Well done Florian! Good work.

Looks and sounds like medium weight calico, rather than duck. The typical duck you'll find would possibly be too heavy for a cap.

New cap with leather cinch back!

Yeah, looks like Carhartt workwear fabric to me too...

This type of fabric is called Duck cotton color brown.

Thanks guys, yes, it is a medium weight canvas that works great for the workwear caps.

I'm looking forward to seeing them.

Baron, I used a light/medium weight cotton canvas for the caps so they would be durable and a little less stressful for Che on keeping them clean. Btw, the jute I used for the NS cap turned out great, I love the weight and the support/structure it gives the caps! Thanks again for the advice!

Barry, how thick is that jute fabric you are using?

 

[Simonds]

JC, the thickness of the Jute is 1.35mm about the same as a dime.
I really think if gives the cap a character all its own and compliments our vintage cut very nicely.

Did Flo design the logo? I am very impressed.

 

[Simonds]

Thanks Rudie, we designed it, he helped remake it because we needed it in 600 dpi.

 

[Rudie]

You're welcome. You did a great job!

JC, the thickness of the Jute is 1.35mm about the same as a dime.

I've been looking for hemp or jute in 1.8mm thick in a tighter weave canvas to match the cap I took apart, but I haven't been able to find any. All I have seen is about 1mm thick. A supplier told me that its too expensive to make but I would think that someone must have it.

Coffee sacks.

Honest, I'm not kidding. Find a coffee shop and investigate their sacks; focus on the rough ones. It's the closest I've seen to cap-weight burlap/hessian.

Not much use to you American boys, but Whaleys in Bradford is a good source for hessian:

8 dart cap in vintage silk/linen

I have to keep this model in mind for next summer. I like the shape and the button...

The RH cap is great too but to busy for me. I like it cleaner with some smaller details like the V pleat in the back of my cap.
