Looking for alternatives to kangol bamboo or tropic ( light summer material) 507 caps as I dislike the garish kangol logos

Keith, another astonishing cap. I can't help thinking it must have taken quite a bit of time and patience. Also, I wouldn't have thought at first to pair it with that shirt, tie, and jacket, but it works beautifully, particularly with the tie.

Thanks, folks! I did indeed take LOTS of time to work the mechanics out. Almost did me in. The inverted pleat there is deceptively hard to pull off.

On a side note, I've since redesigned the inverted pleat in the middle to go all the way to the front and back, after getting some less-than-G-rated impressions from some. As they say, once seen, never unseen. :p

Trenchfriend, looking good there!

Yeeaaahhhh...that had occurred to me when I first saw your new cap, though the chevron-shaped stitching at each end would be difficult to explain. :D Beautiful cap!
