Great looking cap. I really love the eight panel caps.

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

Looks great Johnny. Love the fabric. I like the looseness
Of the cap as you can adjust it to ones tilt.
The last two pics show you where happy with it.

 

[St. Valentine]

Whoah, Johnny! That´s what I´d call precision work! I really got to watch out for eight panels....

 

[Simonds]

Very nice JC! The alignment looks good and the button turned out very nice.

 

[Johnny J]

Thanks guys! I'm happy with this one, and I will make a smaller version, but not too small because then you can't tilt it to one side just like Ed mentioned earlier.

Fabrics

Here are some vintage fabrics that I have. I can only make 1, 8 Panel Newsboy cap each:

1940s or 50s Donegal Tweed:

1950s Tweed Houndstooth:

1940s(?) Tweed. Now this will make a cool cap:

1950s 100% wool. Che is deciding on this one:

More Vintage Fabric

This one is pretty cool. Its like a brick color, with nice pattern design. I might have enough for 3 or 4 caps, either 8 panel newsboy or 8 dart caps:

Vtg 1940s 100% wool plaid fabric.

Vtg 1930s(?) 100% Brushed Wool should make an interesting winter cap. This one might be too thick for an 8 panel newsboy, but I can make an 8 dart cap:

Thank you sir!

Another option you can go with on the 8 darted caps is the bottom band. Ask me for more info.

 

[TomS]

I like the banded bottom, Johnny. Gives the hat a different look.

 

[Johnny J]

Thanks Tom, it does give a nice touch to the 8 dart wool caps.

This one reminds me of those crazy fabrics they would use in the 1920s:
