Early 1900's Brooklyn Superbas Ball Cap

This is my interpretation of an early 1900's Brooklyn Superbas ball cap.

For this particular cap I've used an original A.G.Spalding pattern from the era which features a 6 panel crown and a 2 1/2” short visor.

I have used Japanese milled wool (quite thick but also lightweight), a cotton twill sweatband, Singer 32-43 oversized stitched eyelets and a hand cut Merino wool felt logo.

This particular pattern was prominent in the early 1900's (pre-1930's) and although not an exact reproduction, I feel these caps are the closest that you will find to the originals of the time in regard to fit. All constructed using period correct machinery and processes.

Features:

- Deep Royal Blue wool crown / Dark green wool underside visor

- Hand cut Merino felt wool letter

- Singer 32-43 oversized stitched eyelets

- Black cotton twill sweatband

- Satin seam taping

- Canvas lined 2 1/2” inch unbreakable stitched brim

All of my caps are handmade from start to finish by me, using machines from the 1920's-1960's. No two caps are the same and differences in construction are to be celebrated.
