The Cap Faction

[Stuffsmith]

Hey Che, you've got the coolest kids ever (don't let mine read this) - the shot of your big guy on the steps is a classic. My seven year old son has recently expressed interest in wanting to wear a cap like ours, so there's hope yet!

Hi & Thank You All for the Kind Comments , the boys are my Grandsons 2 of 5 grandkids total..
My GrandPa started me out as a tot so I carry on as I did with my own kids.

well here are Simonds Bespoke Brown Duck cotton together...

And a Combo pic, My cap was made by Al's Attire in San Francisco

I like how Mocos cap has the Lift & rise effect of the cap body.

we have a lot of fun together,
They have quite the collection of caps mostly vintage but the Simonds are great & as I mentioned Adjustable for growth.
I enjoy posting these pics just wish my computer was working better...using my daughters for these posts...
its either More caps/hats or a new PC... headwear wins !

More great pics Che and more proof Moco is the boss! Tlaloc looks like the good kid here. Tip'o the cap to you all and Barry's caps too.

Che, those caps look great on the boys. Well done to Barry for making those.

Great caps Che, it's nice to see the tradition of hats being passed on.

This particular cap is an etsy cration by a user from the uk who goes by the screen name "moaning minnie."

It's wool and serves as one of my best grab and go casual caps.

Nice one, HatsWV. Nothing like a cap that feels just right. Particularly for us blokes with extra skin on top.

I just got one of Baron Kurtz's 1930's French denim workwear caps yesterday, and I have to say, it is a total killer. Fits me like a glove. And the denim really doesn't need a snap in front because when you shift it on your head, it stays how you put it. This one is going to get seriously better with age. I can hardly believe it's 80 year old denim - it's pristine. Thanks, Pete!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

If you like that one, the tweed is going to blow you away. After the postal strike ends tomorrow that is!:eusa_doh:

I say again, that I'm totally bummed that there isn't even one of those denim caps that fit me.

Wonderful photos Che, and great looking caps

Oh yeah... how did I miss seeing these?!

 

[Stuffsmith]

A lovely new cap, made by Etsy seller 'Bonniesknitting', using a spectacular vintage crepe wool, one of my favorite color arrangements I've ever seen. A bit more old-school width to the design than most new caps you see around.

I'm daydreaming of a Starflower cap in this fabric, Johnny!

I'm daydreaming of a Starflower cap in this fabric, Johnny!

That would probably look pretty cool!

Found this at the thrift for $5, its similar to the crowncaps I usually wear but not as large, no ear flaps, half leather sweat, no tag. Guess ill hold it for collection

 

[Stuffsmith]

Nice lookin' five bucks, Pinesiw. I've never been lucky enough to find a cap in a thrift store - but I have yet to try!

Speaking of caps on the cheap, grabbed this little 6 5/8" cap (60s/'70s, I think) off eBay for pretty much shipping cost, and I wool-washed it and let it shrink to dry - and it fits my little 7-year-old Miles perfectly! He's thrilled he can sport a cap alongside dad now.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Excellent find, Pinesiw. That half sweatband in the front was typically used on more budget lines back in the day. Looks to be a nice 30s-50s cap.:eusa_clap

Johnny sent me pic's of my new cap. Great Job Johnny.

I think that is what he is calling it. Should get it next week with the Holiday weekend coming up there is no mail Monday.
It is the same one that Robert got. Second one he has made.
