Early 1900’s Brooklyn Ball Cap (Short Brim)

This is my interpretation of the 1907 Brooklyn Baseball Club ball cap.

For this particular cap I've used an original pattern from the era which features an unstructured 6 panel Melton wool crown, a cotton twill sweatband, Singer 32-43 oversized stitched eyelets, and an unbreakable soft 2" inch stitched visor consistent with caps from the era.

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:

- Royal Blue Melton wool / Forest green wool melton underside of visor

- Hand cut Merino felt wool letter

- Singer 32-43 oversized stitched eyelets using indigo dyed thread

- Black cotton twill sweatband

- 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.
