Making of a Irish Flat Cap

[Bud-n-Texas]

I came across this vid today, and thought that there may be some interest in how caps are made. This vid promotes Hanna Hats, but no matter, I imagine they are all made approximately like these. Enjoy

Thanks Bud!
I have two of their caps and think they are great ones.

Glad you enjoyed. I do not have a Hanna, but I do have a couple from Ireland. Who knows when a Hanna may bless my collection, with its presence.

I also have 2 Hannas and ran across this video when I started shopping for a flat cap. I have the patchwork and a blue-grey tweed and they are both excellent caps.

fftopic: Thanks for asking. I am progressing, not as strong as I want to be. Doc tells me to give it time. Being laid up in the hospital for over a week, weakens a person, or so he says. I am still on a 24hr IV, but that should go on Monday, or so I hope. :eusa_clap The bag that I have to carry it in, just does not match any of my hats. lol

I did receive my latest cap, a Shandon 8 panel patch cap. I would recommend these. Very soft, very light and a delight to wear.

Do you use one of those steel contraptions that suspend the IV bag? If so, look at the bright side: No more worrying where to hang your hat when you go out to eat!

Back to topic, I think I'm going to get my Dad a Hannah Hat. He wears a flat cap his Dad gave him, never really hangs on to any others. I figure this one has enough spunk to be the exception.

That was great! I never had any interest in the "Patch" caps but I am rethinking that now.
