Hot off the press. 'La Flèche' (The Arrow). French 1920's-style casquette with 1930's wool, cotton drill liner, 1930's NOS steel buttons, reeded leather sweat, vintage snap.

Inspired by a few previous raised welt designs by the Master, Johnny C. and by a few ads in a Canadian cap catalog posted here ages ago.

I've finally found an image of someone wearing one of those pleated-top caps like Barry and I replicated! Shot on a Harold Lloyd set, circa 1922.

Cool find. I love the great comedies of the 10s and 20s. Buster Keaton is my favorite actor and director of all time.

I know I say it every time, but this is Barry's best work yet!
I believe he has enough of this material for a few more caps.
