I've been away from here a long time - nice to see lots of great stuff around here! Today I wore my 'Gadabout' flat cap, in 1930s workwear indigo cotton. The Sydney spring is fast turning into summer, so I gotta wear my nice clothes while I can!- Stuffsmith

Been away a bit - thanks for the nice words about my bow tie, gents! Some nice caps posted up here - nice to see some new faces mixing with us old buggers! I find the large/small cap debate quite a fascinating one. I started wearing close-fit smaller caps for a year or two, then when I got...- Stuffsmith

I'm going to venture that the dating is a bit off on that image - far closer to 1911-13, as those dinner plate sized caps just didn't exist before then, at least in all my research.- Stuffsmith

Thanks Eddie - that's a funny and interesting idea, to pack away a little comb in the front of the crown. Wouldn't be much use for me, of course! ;)- Stuffsmith

I've just made my first bow tie to match one of my caps. It's the same 1940s Japanese silk crêpe kimono cloth I used for the liner. I like that the match is hidden until you remove your cap, but the colors match cap-to-bow when wearing in the same pleasing way. I'll be doing more of this!- Stuffsmith

OK, here's a slice of cap history. I found this NOS (?) linen 'Oto Bi Cap' from 1916, made to satisfy the brand-new demand for automotive headwear! Check out how pristine the celluloid visor is.- Stuffsmith

Just finished a new denim cap. Quarter-panel 8 dart in heavy Levi's raw denim. The liner is a wild 1930s cotton print.- Stuffsmith
