Cap Fabrics

[Johnny J]

Well, we can try an 8 point vintage style cap in lambskin and see how it goes.

There's a Lounger who makes caps; I seem to recall he's in Germany? I'm sure he could weigh in with some salient opinions.

Hepville and Johnny J both make cap's Randall.

A leather cap would have to be worn in the dead of winter it would get real hot for sure.

[Johnny J]

Yeah, your right. It would probably look nice, but would be for loungers who live in colder places. Here in California the weather is kind of crazy in winter. could be cold one day, and then warm the next.

I was just real curious after Feraud mentioned leather, so I whipped this up real quick to get an idea, but its not finished yet. I need to get to work on other caps. I do notice that a leather cap needs good padding underneath to keep its shape. This one is sitting over another cap.

How about this one?
