The Cap Faction

[howardeye]

Wow! Great caps. You made my day!

 

[Simonds]

Very nice collection, rlk! Love the strap details on the two caps and of course the fabrics.

Exceptional haul! Thanks for taking and posting the detailed pictures.

 

[rlk]

Thanks to all for the cap enthusiasm! I'm accumulating quite a collection of child size hats.

 

[alanfgag]

There is a solution for that problem... a lot of fun, but more expensive in the long run.

Wow rlk! Love those fabrics that they would use on caps!! Outstanding!

Casquette Inspiration

Fascinating resource. Every time I think I am beginning to get a handle on hats in their heyday, I see something like this and realize how everything I know could fit on the tip of a 1920s hatpin. Love the Queen Mary crew cap in sync with Che's photo essay earlier today.

#31 on that last catalog page is very interesting, I really like that.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

That green Cavanagh is awesome, but I must say, this fabric is the best of the lot. With such a wonderful buckle, too.

Baron, did you notice that the crazy wool weaves seen on these 1920s caps were used for suits and plus-fours too?

+1!

Yes, indeed. I also have the feeling that the crazy stuff seemed to persist for use in caps for longer than in suits/other clothing.

Can you imagine one of those suits you posted with a hat in the same fabric? I think my stomach would instantly prolapse if I found one of those.:faint2:
