1930' caps. (a sewing question)

[ChrisT]

Have some of you tried to make a cap?



I love these 1930' style caps but I'm unable to find a sewing pattern for it.

May someone help me?

You've come to the right place. I would visit here and read backwards.

I posted a pattern in the cap faction thread. See it here -> http://http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?23684-The-Cap-Faction&p=1414659&viewfull=1#post1414659

Sorry, looks like the link isn't working. Just go the the cap faction thread and do a thread search for buler. You will find it.

You are right Wiser Hatter the Cordova are just great.

Buller : any idea which page of the thread (or a month and a year)



All: may you give this size (in cm) of your cap?

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

That would be 27.94 cm.

If you want a pattern for the cap it is here.

The cap makers (such as myself) all made them after much trial and error.

I don't thing I'm gonna find any "Progressive Tailor Magazine" here in France.

I will try to sew one. And I will make some errors and try again.
Thank you all.

Buler: if you get some time to find your pattern, I will be an happy man.

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

You use the pattern in the progressive tailor to make your pattern.

 

[ChrisT]

I found the progressive tailor from 1917 to 1922 online.
I have now to find a pattern in it
