The 8 piece Cap.

[Wild Root]

Now for the photos!

Ok, here are the photos of it! It came today and it fits really nice! I'm so happy that it fits and looks good. It's in REALY good condtion!

I remmber being asked what brand it was. Well, it's from J.C. Penny's and looks to be from the 30's or early 40's.

One of you asked if it had a snap down crown and bill. It does have a snap!

Here are the photos.

WildRoot -- That is a neat hat. Looks good on you, too.

It does it have a leather sweat band. A real find.

Hmm... There is definitley a photoshop project there.

Thaks for the kind words K.D. and yes if you look closely in the second photo you can see the leather sweat band in it. It's some what the same color of the liner.

Oh brother, the Alvin K thing again. Oh JP, you funny man.

Just a baby eh? I may have a baby face, but I'll tell you what, I'm no baby, baby!

Wildroot -- You should have become an actor!

On the same thread, one guy tells you you look like Alvin Karpis, and someone else tells you that you are a baby (i.e., baby-faced).

You could have career as varied as my favorite actor, Alec Guiness. He could change his looks to suit any character. And he had class and style....

Keep those photos coming!

Saw the cap last night at Bob's Big Boy and it was really awsome. that plaid is huge. I need one.

 

[Wild Root]

It's all good!

Matt always wants what I have for some reason.

I guess it means I have good taste.

A little help would be nice , even if I live on the East Coast!!

Besides Ebay is there some on line sources to look for a Real Vintage cap????

We only have junk stores in my area. No Vintage what so ever!! :cry: :cry:

You know, it's really sad. The only three times I have found these caps I have bought them. Once in a vintage shop in Hollywood, 2nd, Ebay, 3rd, Ebay! They are very hard to come by!!! I have seen vintage clothing web sites but they have junk most of the time. Not real 20's or 30's caps but late 60's and 70's caps that are small and not floppy in shape.

Even at vintage clothing expos in Santa Monica I have never seen one.

So, it looks that ebay will be the hot ticket if you're looking for a period original cap.

That's the way it is I guess.

[SHARPETOYS]

I guess I will have my capper just make me one

I'll keep on looking, thats half the fun the chase.
Thanks alot for your help.

I must say you are the only one on that coast that helps us guys here! Most of the time I don't even get the Courtesy of a response from most.
That shows good manners on your part.
Thanks,

Roger
