Here's a Victorian fabric sample book, a.k.a. cap-maker's droolathon.

Interesting - some of these fabric patterns I would have identified as 20s or 30s. Cool to see these bold tweeds were being made at the turn of the century.



That could potentially make this fabric even older than I thought!

Takes guts to wear caps at these jaunty angles, but these guys had it.



Canadian boxer Sam Langford. How great does that look??

My new Simonds six pleate cap made from Harris Tweed

The photos don't do the cap justice, it's one of those that has to be examined close up and worn to get the full effect.

great wool

A new Sterkowski motorcycle cap arrived today. It is very nicely made of good materials. It will be warm as it has a little padding in the crown to help it hold its shape.

My purple shirt may not be a good stylistic match for the cap, but I knew you would want to see it on my bean.

 

[Stuffsmith]

Hey, nice one, jhe! Looks very solidly made and comfy. It'll get even nicer as it breaks in and settles to your form, I suspect!

 

[dh66]

Fantastic! That's a great looking cap JHE!!
