Cordova Handmade Caps / Johnny J's work

Thanks Ed. And it looks good for a size 7 3/8, not too small. I'll take some noggin shots shortly.

As long as you have enough to get a good tilt going.

Cordova one-piece eight-dart cap in the pebble diamond twill tweed

The dimensions are 11" overall width and 2 1/4" brim at the center. I took some shots on the day I received the cap, wearing a tan gabardine suit. For better comparison of proportions, my frame is 5'8" with 38"chest/ 30"waist.

The constuction is excellent, as is the material used. Thank you, Johnny!

Thank you, Gentlemen. The diamond twill tweed is a wonderful material, and I couldn't be more pleased with the color I chose - although the other colors must be just as nice.
The pebble is rather light-colored, as you can see in the images. The color rendition in the collage, however, is quite a bit washed-out. The pebble still works even with darker medium grey or with navy suits; the contrast isn't too high. Color-wise, the pebble is exactly what the name implies, a light, warm shade of grey.

I think the pebble is the best shade of that diamond twill. I have the silver/grey - but I really think the pebble is the best of the lot.

Same here. In terms of versatility, the pebble appears to be hard to beat. Grey, brown, or navy suits, they all work with it. The lighter greys with a slight shift to the warm side are especially versatile, just like the Winchester Silverbelly felt and Art's Dove felt.

Rabbit, glad you liked it! And it looks great with that suit!

More Vintage Fabrics

Vintage Tweed.
Colors: Brown, Beige, Grey and Blue. I think it would make a nice authentic looking vintage cap.

And this one is on its way: Vintage Blue Wool Diamond fabric.

Would make an interesting cap also.

Interesting. What is the size of the pattern on that? Can you post a pic showing a ruler on the fabric so we can see the judge the size of the pattern.

Cheers

Very nice fabric Johnny. What is the weight of the two fabrics?

 

[Johnny J]

TT, I just purchased that blue diamond wool fabric so I don't have it yet, but when it arrives I can take another picture.

LeFonque, the first one is a medium weight wool and the second one I'm not sure until it arrives from the seller.
