*PRE-ORDER* Late 1930's Ball Cap (Black)

*PLEASE NOTE* This is a PRE-ORDER cap and therefore production will take from 4-6 weeks depending on my workload. Please keep this in mind before purchasing.

This is my interpretation of a late 1930's ball cap.

For this particular cap I've used an original A.G.Spalding pattern from the era which features a 6 panel crown, but have added a rear adjustable strap for sizing flexibility and comfort. I have used US milled melton wool, a cotton twill sweatband, Singer 32-43 oversized stitched eyelets, and an unbreakable soft 2 3/4" inch stitched visor consistent with AG Spalding caps from the era.

This particular pattern was prominent in the 30’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.

I now have the option of choosing either fitted sizing or a rear adjustable strap. I can also use a leather sweatband if you’re looking for something more authentic which can be selected from the drop down menu. Please make sure to leave your preferred size in the order notes at checkout.

Adjustable sizes:
55cm-57cm (6 7/8”- 7 1/8”)
56cm-58cm (7”- 7 1/4”)
58cm-60cm (7 1/4”- 7 1/2”)
61cm-62cm (7 5/8”- 7 3/4”)

Features:

- Black 100% melton wool 6 panel crown / emerald green cotton twill underside

- Horse hair buckram backing internal front two panels

- Hand cut Merino felt wool letter 'O'

- Singer 32-43 oversized stitched eyelets

- Black cotton twill sweatband

- Satin seam taping

- Canvas lined 2 3/4" inch unbreakable stitched brim

- Rear adjustable d-ring cotton twill strap

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.
