The Cap Faction

Oooooooo yea
Flecked Dongeal

I guess that's why I'm so picky when it comes to clothing. Thanks Che. Going to L.A. tomorrow to see what I find in fabrics. If anyone recommends a certain wool, like tweed's, or patterns, like houndstooth, checks, plaids, or linens etc., that they would like to see for my next caps, let me know and I can see what they have.

A thick natural color linen would be great!!

I got these yesterday. The bottom two are linen, but they are not thick.

the top flecky looks cool .
& the mustard linen with a Guyabera..
Nice fabric choices.. the linens will get body from the lineing. right ?

Johnny J, that pinstripe linen looks identical to the fabric i used for a pair of trousers several years ago (below). in fact, the first clothing item i ever made. is it a mid grey ?

if you know where there is more available please PM me.

Its more like a brown/gray to me. Your stripes also look more whiter than mine. These stripes are between a tan and a kind of pinkish to me.

Chepstow,
I was beating my head last night thinking of a name with a logo that I will be working on for the inside liners and the wife and I could not come to anything that great. But now that you say it, The Cap Maker sounds pretty cool!
What you think? Anyone have any ideas? Please, I would highly appreciate it if you guys help me come up with a name.

Thanks guys for your kind comments! This is only the beginning.

These logo's are pretty cool:

Mister Freedom logo

Vtg. Malrov logo

 

[Johnny J]

Do you guys think I should have more fabric on the back, like my vtg. Melrov pictured here?

I seen a 1920s ad that had 8 point caps and they did have more fabric in rear. Here is the link. I don't know how to post up a pic from ebay. Can someone?
