This thread seems to have gone quiet. Here's today's ensemble featuring a Five Points cap up top, in a vintage wool received in a fabric swap with Johnny C.

Brand new from the Well Dressed Head: The "IT" Cap - a 1910s/20s-style pillbox flat cap with two broad box pleats built into the top. Named after the Hollywood "IT" Café, opened in 1937 by the original 1920s "It" girl Clara Bow and her husband Rex Bell. This one is built from fabulous vintage...

Custom orders are shipping out... Where's yours?

New from The Well Dressed Head: a luxuriously dressy 1910s-pattern flat cap in a stunning 1930s-era silk/cotton windowpane velvet! Supported by a vintage silk liner, this cap is built for a special occasion. Only three orders will be taken due to the limited amount of this fabric, so reserve...

Hi gang! Wanted to post a new straw cap I made (probably a one-off as it took metres of fabric to get the pattern to match). Handwoven Vietnamese indigo-dyed hemp straw.

That is hilarious! Thank you for the belly laugh and for making my day. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice capping, boys! Made a special 8/4 panel cap ("The Giles") a few days ago from a rare-as-hens-teeth piece of genuine c.1910s/20s Stifel cloth. It was a labor of love.

Cheers, Eric - and Bob!

Wow, randomly checked and am delighted to see this thread alive and kicking! Now I've gotta go back and catch up on what I missed! :) Keep up the good work, fellas! Keith

Eddie, sorry for the late response, but that ginger tweed cap is the bee's knees. And you wear it well! :)

Thanks, gents! :)

A new show-and-tell. This knockout tweed was a fabric swap with Cordova, and was exactly enough for a single cap. I’ve held onto it for two years in hopes I could do it some justice someday. I took a deep breath, cut it up and made this Five Points cap from it. It was hard to decide which side...

Hi gang - long time no check-in! Lots of good stuff posted recently! Special props to Michael A for some wonderful creations! Go for it, buddy, it's an addictive activity, to be sure! To address your question, you can find some stiff card stock which is what was used in many old caps for the...

Great posts here of late! Nice to see new faces cappin' it up. I want to thank Dostioffsky for posting the cap images from the Gemeentemuseum! I'm keen to try and make that design... See ya round, fellas!
