Johnny thanks very much for posting this nice fabrics. But what I miss are some nice herringbone in browm and gray.
That would be looking great and give a fabulous Cap. Is that possible to work with this fabric?

I found a great vtg herringbone in black/white with red, blue and yellow specks that I'm waiting for it to arrive and would make a great cap.
Unfortunately, I think I will have enough for only two caps of that fabric. But besides that one I can easily get herringbone fabric in browns and grays. Just let me know what you would like.

Yeah, I am really looking forward to wearing this in the Fall!
I must say, Johnny's caps are like no modern ones I've ever seen. Are the Mister Freedom caps the only similar one out there??
I really feel like I have something special!

I have a Mister Freedom cap and it has this fabulous 100 year old fabric, but IMO they should have made it with more fabric on the back and sides.

I too have a Mr. Freedom love it and I am glad Johnny took up the torch to start producing vintage style cap's. While I spent a good chunk of change on the Mr. Freedom it was worth getting a high end cap. As one wears hats longer one end's up not liking what passes as a newsboy cap to the average user.

Come on Flat Top give us a head shot.:)

Johnny, I know you may not have the time (especially lately!), but I'd love to see a picture of your working space, preferably a shot with you in action, hard at it.
