    A while back, Baron Kurtz posted and sold a 1920s/30s cap that has stuck firmly in my craw for the last year or so. Today I finally got to make my replica, with inspiration from that cap. In honor of it, I've dubbed it the "Aero-Club". Thanks, Pete!! The Aero-Club flat cap. 1940's wool/silk...

    1mach1 - I have a few more to make to get my online presence ready, so in about two weeks time I will be out there for all to see. On another note, I'm having conversations with Damian regarding the "Frenchness" of the pointy dart caps. While I have seen many early examples of caps in France...

    My newest, from one of my favorite patterns - the sharp-darted 'L'Aronde' 1910s/20s French-style casquette. This fabric is 1940's wool/synthetic auto upholstery! Wild stuff - it totally changes as the wearer moves. 1930's buttons, cotton drill liner, leather sweatband, full leather visor...

    The rust and cream one is pretty over-the-top, even for me. But, you know, it had to be done.

    Two new iterations of my Zephyr cap. First, the vertigo-inducing 'Open Road' edition, made with 1940's auto upholstery, and lined with c.1900 Italian polished suiting cotton and full leather blah blah. Next, the liner for one becomes the shell of another. That same...

    Cool little ivy, Fermenter! But you should really clean up those rocks in your backyard, they're a mess.

    Thanks guys! It hasn't really come off of my head yet… But it might be a bit crunchy on my pillow so I reluctantly take it off for bed.

    Got this beauty (1930's, I think, from the logo) a few weeks back on the bay. Deadstock, stuffed with original tissue, the band in shreds. It's a true straw 8-panel (maybe raffia, but strong like straw), with taped seams and tipped-in liner. I reblocked/resized it and added a leather sweat, and...
