The Cap Faction

[Johnny J]

Thanks guys! That's a light/medium weight fabric but the style w/flecks make it look thicker. Its a size 6 3/4.

I couldn't tell you for sure how it would turn out, but last week I finished a 100% linen cap for the first time and even though it was a lighter weight fabric, with the lining and interfacing it kept its shape nicely. Hopefully we will see pics from that cap soon.
So with one of these lightweight fabrics it could turn out the same.

I guess that would be my linen cap?
Whatever you do to the cap to hold it's shape is working. The pattern, lining, and overall construction is very well done and it shows.
The linen fends off the summer sun and heat which is why I wanted this in the first place!
Here are two shots of my new cap.

I know everyone will laugh at me, but I don't mind the look of this red corduroy zasu

I won't laugh. I like that red corduroy a lot and think it makes for a great Fall/Winter style cap.

Feraud, looks very good on you, nice shape and color! Johnny, very well job done.

 

[Feraud]

Thanks guys! Johnny J did a great job on the cap and I am already thinking about my next one.

 

[Johnny J]

I'm glad you liked it. I also wanted to let you guys know that I put enough fabric on these caps so you can pull the back down to about behind your ears, but of course, you can wear them as you like.

Euro 68,--? Goodness! There is a seller on the bay who sells White Boots. I would like a pair of them but he charges $190.00 to Germany!!!! :eeek: Silly......

Back to topic....

Maybe this stuff is shipped in a learjet and gets stroked all the way by a former Miss Universe... that would raise the shipping charges.

I've bought a cap through this mob. Their freight is good, though they don't offer the individual sizing. A lot of their caps, those marked 'made in Europe' are actually City Sport caps with the brand removed. I'll order a silk one from them at some stage, and that matt brown nappa, leather newsboy is rather appealing - I like the soft look and the double stitching. Never owned a leather cap before, so I don't know what they are like to wear. I wonder if you have to grow a big handlebar moustache and dance to YMCA?

Yeah, there was a winter version with a flannel lining. The website is RMR or something and the manufacturer is Verbano http://www.rmr-hats.com/Full-shape-windows-pattern-cap-211-2-0.html

They've got a nice vintage line to them, I reckon, very crisp. Pity their freight is so high, because the caps themselves seem not that dear. Maybe if you buy several, paying for the lear jet and former Miss Universe, wouldn't be so bad.

Haha, sorry! Just another one of these cliches that caps must be liberated from... like, 'What are you going to play golf or something?' Reply, 'No, are you going to play baseball or something.' to the baseball cap wearer. Funny that people think like that - a baseball cap is called a baseball cap but you don't have to play baseball to wear one, but if you wear a newsboy, you are going to play golf :/

I'd pay $190.00 to ship myself like that
