    Beaverfelt flat cap...

    I'm in the process, figured I'd make one for myself and post it either way just to see everyone's reaction. I thought of the beaverfelt flat cap for that reason you could steam it to shape, it be great for a winter time cap, plus I'd have a Reeded sweatband inside. I know it's thinking outside...
