A new one rolled off the workbench yesterday - it's a pleatless modification of my Archer cap, which I call the Gadabout. Amazing 1930's workwear shirt fabrics used here!

Very nice! I like the logotype too, could be the title-card for a silent comedy.

I just finished my first serious attempt at capmaking myself. (Well, except for the snap-button) Must say that I am more than happy with the results!

Dostioffsky - DUUUUDEEE!!!! That's bloody brilliant!! Smoking fabric, clean sewing, nice lining detail, lovely shape visor - it's excellent!! Keep it up, let's see more!

Makes mincemeat of my first 20, that's for sure!

Another talent emerges! Nice one Dostioffsy.

Paid a visit to a private hat museum yesterday and found this tasty vintage piece in the shadows of the fedoras and panamas:

Keith, nice work! I want one of each!

Dostioffsky, in my few months of cap wearing and seeing the makers at their biz, I think that this is one of the more subtle shapes to do. Imperfections would be more obvious. Looks great for a first attempt!!
