The Cap Faction

[DamianM]

Thanks guys!

I just measured it didnt use a pintuck foot, but I bet it would make it easier

 

[Stuffsmith]

I know what you mean - my pintucks have been done by hand thus far, and I'm hoping this will be more accurate/easier! You did great work, though, D. Love the pleated back too.

 

[DamianM]

Yes the original has a box pleat in the back. But I wanted to see how it would look with just the pin tucks.
The next one I will keep the box pleat.

Then the front has 4 pin tucks as well, I have been meaning to make this one as well.

Im just Pin tucking away

This has to be one of the most inspiring threads on FL, some great work being done that we all wish we could emulate.

You even replicated vintage damage on the band bottom. Good work.

 

[DamianM]

HA,
No NO.

That's the original.

Cricket - La Casquette du Sportsman

I bought this little number over two months ago on the French bay. I had long accepted that it was lost, but lo and behold! it was delivered today! NOS, never worn and in pristine condition.

nice one. simple, but subtle.

So nice to see it's staying in the family, Moritz! I've had my eye on that one for months and months – it's going to a good home. Does it fit you? A real beauty. The logo is great - nice to see it in a cap and not just in those gorgeous ads!

Nice cap Rudie! I love that liner!

Nice cap Rudie! I love that liner!

Agree and glad that lost was found. Congrats Rudie.

It's interesting that the French should produce a cap called 'Cricket', since cricket isn't a sport that you would associate with France.

Fantastic find Rudie! What a great looking fabric. And in perfect shape, no less. Congratulations!

 

[Stuffsmith]

One of the most memorable cap ad campaigns, design-wise, IMO.

 

[Blackthorn]

Great ads, Stuffsmith! Wow, the things I learn here....

perhaps a deliberate attempt to give the brand some British cachet ?

 

[Two Types]

I would have thought so. No doubt someone will claim a connection to the British influence and the Duke Von Windsor etc ....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Another Cricket Ad

Interesting.
