Thanks guys! It's probably the first good cap I've made. I've got lots of killer fabrics waiting for me to get competent enough to use them!

Le Grand casquette, Keith.
Fantastic workmanship, beautiful fabric. I like the style a lot. You have become quite the journeyman cap maker. It is inspiring to watch your progress.
Good job.

You're all very kind, thanks a million! The encouragement you guys give me means a lot.

Pete, I fabricated the buckle. Etched nickel silver. I'll do it a bit differently next time, but it was a good experiment.

Ed, can you post a noggin shot of the early Cordova you're talking about?

Interesting too, is that of the non-cap wearers, most are wearing bowlers.
Any info on this pic Keith? date, locale

Not sure where in the US, but it's a 1920's football crowd. I thought the same thing, Dale. I was also struck by the high percentage of cap-wearers. Surely an economic explanation (working class), but some of these guys are quite dapper.
