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.

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...
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.

The first cooler day in months - finally all the lovely tweeds can crawl out of the drawer! Good to check in with you all - a parade of great hats, guys.
Flat-top – that is one seriously cool fabric! Be sure to send us a noggin shot when it arrives.

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!
