The Cap Faction

Alan, That is so cool!

I had one similar back in 1953

I still love this, but I think I will set it aside for my first grandchild.

Never thought I would see it Alan - a hat you do NOT look good in!

Very cool... I've seen a similar photo of myself from a similar era... cotton caps I think. This one is quite a bit older.

Not perfection, I agree! But I bet some little tyke is going to look smashing in it.

Gromulus, I think that shot of Alan is a new classic!

I think he should model one of my two recent acquisitions ('cause I sure as hell ain't gonna). The wool knit has a turned up leather sweatband (with lip), but stitching is not very tight. Age is beyond me. Any guesses?

The other 'thing' is (to me) obviously '20s or '30s. For the price, I had to buy it. :eusa_doh:

Alan, I know from prior posts that you're a whiz on computers. Any chance you could place that cap convincingly atop the pulchritudinous child in your avatar?

 

[alanfgag]

Love those caps, Scott... I'd be happy to pose in 'em. Two digit postal codes began during WWII, so the brown/yellow one is later than 1943.

Thanks for the notes on the wee cap and thank you Randall, for the excellent avatar suggestion!

cheers,
Alan

Well done, Alan :eusa_clap

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Garrett... they should all fit this well and this easily!

 

[randooch]

Well done, Alan :eusa_clap

Yes! I knew you could do it.

Just got my new B!Wear Cap (thanks for the recommendation I love it, I wish they made Ivy caps), enjoying a nice October afternoon. Just split some wood and got a fire going, crazy weather up here. This year we've had a hurricane, Tornado, and now a winter storm in October, all in Hudson Valley NY.

Looking good the cap keeps you warm in the cold October snow

Wonderful pics ... :smow:

Looking good there Dr. V, if you could get the chance, some more (close up?) pics of the B Wear would be appreciated. Don't have any from them yet, probably should try one. I just wore my green/brown/black Hat Peoples cap to a Blues Club Friday night, got several compliments on it.

Art-Style 8 panel cap

From the bounty of the costume shop.

 

[Oldsarge]

Oh, very nice, indeed!

Hat People Linen full cut cap... and my custom Gilet 000 guitar Bit overexposed light on the cap. It actually has a small tear on the edge of the brim... ***na be a casual cap, so I couldn't be bothered complaining about it. Could have been done by customs... packaging was in pretty bad shape when it arrived.

That's a bewt cap, Alanfgag.

 

[Dan'l]

That's a great looking 8 panel Alan. Lot's of interesting hats in the costume shop.
