    Wow, Barry, you did the right thing! The blessing and curse of selling local. Richard, that is one wild and furry cap!! Looks seriously warm.

    I thought I might have gotten a few of them off the lounge here last year, but I may be mistaken. Let me know where to post them all, and I'd be happy to oblige. They are some of the best period portraits I've seen. So atmospheric, and real, lived-in fashion. Keith Lo Bue. Jeweler, Artisan...

    1929. This photographer, shooting the Tour-de-France riders, used this cap as a prop, I'm assuming, unless it was TdF gear that they all wore... In either case, this has to be my favorite cap I've ever seen. The proportions, the killer glen plaid, the way the darts round upwards, the way it...

    That's fascinating, Robert - thanks for those. I don't see many cap advertisments from the '30's, and even less from the '40's.

    Thanks, TT! I just wore it out to a friend's exhibition, and got several remarks about it. Do you guys who wear caps find people commenting? I rarely do. I'd probably get more comments if I was hatless, as I'm always in one.

    Thanks very much guys! Johnny, isn't that fabric amazing? It was a vintage skirt that I took apart. I have enough fabric for one more of a different design. Keith Lo Bue. Jeweler, Artisan, Stuffsmith. http://lobue-art.com http://keithlobue.com

    Johnny, is that leather done in 3 pieces?

    I absolutely love that one, Johnny! What an oddball. The leather sweat is wild and strange! Great fabric as well.

    After receiving Barry Simonds' blessing to take on trying my own hand at making the 1920's Golfer cap (either because I'd originally commissioned him to make one, or because he's a really nice fella - or both), I enlisted the able help of a pattern-maker friend to help nut out the very complex...

    Looks wonderful on you, GEF! I have a moth eaten one of that exact model, fabric, size(!) that I took apart to make a pattern from (my 'Canuck'). I love the round shape of the front of the crown. I'm glad there's one in good nick floating around out there! Keith Lo Bue. Jeweler, Artisan...
