question for you all, I've been a huge fan of the Greek fisherman cap, I own two. Question is, who would buy a custom made Greek fisherman style cap with a nice Reeded leather sweatband? I'm also wondering would this be something you'd be interested in getting in tweed as well as a nice wool, even a linen? Reason for the question is I've been working on a new design for the last few months based off the Greek fisherman hats, and am wondering if theirs an interest. I'm talking removing the decorative top material on the brim and keeping it simple. Would like to know thoughts? Since ones on the shelf including the two I own have that cardboard under the sweatband and quality isn't top notch, to have a nice clean version in a higher quality is something of interest for me. Also bringing my own take to the design

Can you make it with a leather bill?
There are tons of us motorcycle enthusiasts that like the Brando version.
As long as it does not look like something the Christoffer St crowd would wear.
I have several "Dutchboys" Brentons and it is hard to find a quality one.
Close but no cigar:

Good luck with your venture

The leather brim is a option I am looking at. My price range will be $125 to $150. I ride motorcycles as well, I know exactly the style your looking for. Yes that's the problem I faced was the quality.

Sterkowski makes a nice looking fisherman style cap, problem is I looked at that as inspiration but would rather have a nice Reeded sweatband and just higher quality materials. Yes cost is more then what they sell theirs at, but the sweatband will be sewn in by hand, and you'll be able to get your name on the sweatband

Price point seems very reasonable.
A leather visor is just so practical.
Folds up so great and keeps it shape.
American made you should be able to sell quite a few in the MC market.

Unfortunately as I can tell theirs not a whole lot of interest for this style. So I won't be adding it into the mix. my goal is to have Coble Hatworks up and running before Christmas.
