I'll pitch in first here and say that I would estimate that more than half had full leather sweat, and a smaller proportion had half- sweats, or just leather in front to deal with forehead sweat. The difference was price point. Full leather cost more, so the cheaper models didn't have it...- Stuffsmith

Hi fellas! Haven't dropped in for a while, but it's a great parade of hats n caps, and a more accurate up-to-date weather-reading compendium cannot be found! Thought I'd share my new cap, made with vintage Japanese fabrics. Full set of pics, in better quality (damn iPhone!) in the Cap Faction...- Stuffsmith

Thanks guys, much appreciated! I'm test driving it on my flight back up to Brisbane, and it feels really good. Barry/Johnny: grasshopper gives thanks to his sensei! CRH: the shirt is Japanese ikat-weave cotton, made by a cool place here in Oz. Many years of good wear from that shirt. Keith...- Stuffsmith

Finished my new 8 panel today. A bit different in structure. Featuring some gobsmacking 1930's Japanese indigo-dyed wool with extra large leather visor, full blue-dyed leather sweat and 1910's cotton Japanese boro patched fabric liner. I keep doing a double-take looking at this wool - I can't...- Stuffsmith

I did, Ed. It's mainly an issue of the softness of the fabric - my denim one stays put for me (yours might be a tad small which would make it ride up), but the silk would never stay in place unless I added the snap. I'd be happy to add a snap for you, if you cover the shipping!- Stuffsmith

I was so busy on my pleated Couteau that I neglected to post this li'l cap I made earlier in the month, using Baron Kurtz' 1930's denim workwear cap as a pattern. This one features 1940's raw kimono silk on the outside, vintage check cotton liner, vintage grosgrain ribbon band. Simple, but...- Stuffsmith

Hey Ed, I just happened upon an old thread that chronicles you showing Johnny C an 8 dart Mister Freedom and it bowling him over and starting him on his cap-making exploits! I never knew you were the instigator. Belated thanks to you!!- Stuffsmith

Ed, there is plenty of very high-tech, but the small population and lack of viable competition creaters one of the only places I know of where you STILL cannot get truly unlimited data on a plan. Most expensive internet in the world, I read not long ago.- Stuffsmith
