I got an ancient Indigo Blue feather bed cover coming in the mail. The lady that had this has some from the late 1800's in a different pattern. How would this look as a cap?

:confused: Honestly not sure,not seen any caps made with ticking. I'm willing to give it shot though. Always a first for everything.

I don't mind being the first. I like the deep blue and with some used oil from the motorcycles on it I can see it as a prize. If it don't work out I can put it on the scarecrow!

Simonds portrait of you is Real Cool !
you look good in both pics & cap of course.

Say i have some Ancient Ticking stripe material similar to yours, (though yours looks much nicer) i was holding on too for a long time...Hmmmm
Ill see how yours comes out , if you go for it. Good idea it would make a good work cap ...

Thanks for the kind words. That is a great looking fabric you have also. I have a cap similar to that. All my newsboy caps have stripes. I do not like the tweeds or wooly look. I was looking for a white cotton of some type with a deep blue and maybe this will do it. I have purchased some other blue denim striped but the blue is too pale for me and the stripes are to far apart. You can tell it is not vintage dye.

Of the three, I like the second the best, but then I'm partial to eight panel caps. I understand that name, but I'm not sure that the way that the name is presented works for me. Others may be able to be more constructive.

I think it needs some adjusting of the space between the letters (kerning):
H/i , t/e, a/n

Maby the H could be a little bigger to match the C from Cap?

HBK, the logo would be inside of the caps as well as hang tags. We are still trying to come up with a name at this point. Just thought we would through out one of our ideas.

Thanks, FFF, not sure why it turned out that way, the program is just a free one we got of the internet. We are just playing around with different names and fonts.
