This is my interpretation of an early 1900's ball cap.
For this particular cap I've used an original pattern from the era which features an unstructured 6 panel crown, a cotton twill sweatband, Singer 32-43 oversized stitched eyelets using indigo dyed thread, and an unbreakable soft 2" inch stitched visor consistent with caps from the era.
This fabric was originally a futon cover and has original absolutely beautiful sashiko work throughout. I have done my absolute best to showcase this work in each cap that I have made. The fabric is very old and rare, and this is reflected in the price of each cap.
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:
- Early 20th century Japanese Indigo dyed cotton
- Singer 32-43 oversized stitched eyelets using indigo dyed thread
- Black cotton twill sweatband
- Indigo cotton D-ring adjustable strap
- Canvas lined 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.
