The Cap Faction
The dingle isn't my favourite thing, and I didn't really like the look of Zasu caps when I first saw them, but the fact of the matter is they work for me. There are caps that I like the look of but which don't work for me, so it's like everyone says, horses for courses. Much better than a... -

I wonder where City Sport gets their silk fabrics from.... hmm. 39 pounds for a 100% silk cap is pretty amazing. http://www.classic-caps.co.uk -

No pretense at being vintage style, but cool and casual and stripy. Zasu caps mightn't be the perfect looking cap, but they are perfect for me on a sunny Australian day where I want something more comfortable than akubra but also a bit of shade when I have to spend a short while in the sun, such... -

I like the stitched brims with the fabric stiffener... I think hp caps stitch like that too. I think it is good when you want to bend the brim, you don't end up with the underneath coming away from the brim. I'm rather impressed that Ralf Reynolds can make such good even stitch lines on a 1930s... -

Yay, earflaps! Wool reminds me of the heather grey pendleton wool in my hat people cap - very good fabric by the way. -

I have a Zasu in that fabric. Great fabric for eight panel caps. If you come across a nice wool twill, gabardine or lightweight wool suiting sometime, give me a Cooee. Inspite of my retro sport cap not really working for me, I like the Gabardine wool fabric a lot. -

Righteo, for all the crap I go on about, I am a bit of an impulse buyer. Keep posting pics of your caps, and I will go sometime, 'I want one just like that!' -

This is true, but I would nought a tear shed if satin linings were to go extinct. They are horrible in felt hats and they are horrible in caps.... even if they are authentic, they are an authentically horrible apparatus that renders one of the best qualities of wool, it's thermo-regulatory... -

I cannot comprehend why anyone would prefer a cylinder shaped lining inside an eight panel cap in preference to an eight panel lining. The eight panel lining is the same shape as the crown, and conforms to the shape, whereas the cylindrical linings are not and if not done well, exactly the right... -

Cordova Handmade Caps / Johnny J's work
I think it looks great, Johnny, particularly front on. I think it is a proud looking cap with a nice clean line. Wouldn't mind one of those, but ending winter here, so I may wait to see what you do with that cap in lighter fabrics to see if they would have enough structure. Maybe better in the... -

That cap could nearly pass for a baggy cricket cap, Razzman... if it were made out of melton wool. -
The Cap Faction
I was thinking it looks to have a similar outline to your eight dart caps, Johnny - looks to have that ample back ant tilt line like that yours have. Do you end up with many offcuts with your eight dart caps? If so you could sew them up in a few eight panels. I wonder if you could just take the... -

These eight panels fromPOG Apparel look to have a good vintage shape to them... nice overcoats too! Stumbled upon them after a fruitless search for merino wool caps. Only one colour though and no other pictures. -

Haha. Yes, they didn't have the nutrition we take for granted now, so I think on average they probably did have slightly smaller heads. For sure, I see a lot of usually expensive brand name caps going dirt cheap in a lot of the smaller sizes - 56 to 57cm. Newsboys I think look good on people... -

Whenever I've seen vintage caps on sale, they seem to be small sizes 6 3/4 or something, so I've been wondering maybe if people had smaller heads in the olden days.... Check out the fellow in the Chepstow's last pic - the fellow behind him his huge! and really ****** because they don't make caps... -

Cool caps, Dinerman. Vintage car fabric? It occured to me the other day that I've never seen a newsboy made from fabric with newsprint on it.
