Looks wonderful on you, GEF! I have a moth eaten one of that exact model, fabric, size(!) that I took apart to make a pattern from (my 'Canuck'). I love the round shape of the front of the crown. I'm glad there's one in good nick floating around out there!
After receiving Barry Simonds' blessing to take on trying my own hand at making the 1920's Golfer cap (either because I'd originally commissioned him to make one, or because he's a really nice fella - or both), I enlisted the able help of a pattern-maker friend to help nut out the very complex construction of the pleats. I added this info to my French 'L'Aronde' 8 dart pattern, extended the visor to the very large size of the original 1920's Golfer, and - voila! 'Le Golfeur'? This is my first attempt, and there are several fixes on the way - shorter pleats, less pointy darts, etc., but it's pretty close to what I was after.
1930's wool, 1920's kimono silk and linen lining, 1930's Bakelite buttons, leather visor, vintage United Carr snap, half-sweat in hand-dyed leather.
Thanks for the support in letting me go for this, Barry!
