looks like they keep getting better. how many panels are they?

invicta 02-07-06 08:04 PM

I have the same amp as in the first zuba pic.... sweet cap shants... Im still partial to the mapei....what i would give for a full team kit... it looks like four panels, handstitched or machine?

shants 02-07-06 08:25 PM

4 panels. i can do 8 and 3, too. i'm going to come up with a pattern for a 3 panel tomorrow. 8 is really awful and too "beanie cap" to me, but i can do them.

Joe Dog 02-07-06 09:04 PM

I like 'em, too. Post your site when you get it up - I'll buy one. It would be great to get a hand-made original for a change. Good luck with it!!

i made this goofy hat last night from a fairly thin cotton (yeah, it'll breathe) and an old doom (crust as ****!) backpatch that i had lying around. it doesn't sit as deep on the head and has a smaller bill than the other that i posted yesterday. it's not lined and is more like the type that i'll be generally selling in the upcoming months, because it's more suited for warm/hot weather. yeah.

that's ****ing cool. Can you make me a hat out of a flux of pink indians backpatch I have lying around?

they went 02-07-06 09:52 PM

doyou put anything in to keep the brim stiff.? my girlfriend has been tryign to make them but she doesn't like the brim

jonb 02-07-06 10:00 PM

i hope the ones you sell for the general publc sit deeper and not so shallo wlike the doom one :/ my ears are big and must be hidden.

screamingveg 02-07-06 10:26 PM

If you need/want to use a better camera to get better shots of your hats when you put em up for sale, let me know. I've got one, and I'm literally a 30 second ride away from you.

shants 02-07-06 10:30 PM

yeah, i put stuff in the brim... jonb - i'll probably be making a set of hats that are very similar to the doom hat in general, but i am planning on doing mostly full custom work, which would allow for deeper hats, etc.

ummmm... BEATING AROUND THE BUSH is the best song ever

KrisPistofferson 02-08-06 02:41 PM

Shants, hit up local welders in your area, since these caps are indistinguishable from welding caps. It might give you a little more business than just selling to cyclists. I use cycling caps for when I'm welding way more than riding, anyway. Just an idea.

el twe 02-08-06 03:54 PM

So, is the thinking that we could send you some kind of fabric and you could make a hat? Or is custom just "I want mine to be this big"?

killyourself 02-13-06 04:36 PM

So when are you going to be starting your sweatshop to make all these hats everyone wants?
any new ones made yet?

metallo pesante 02-13-06 06:12 PM

i'm with el twe, can we just send you the fabric/material when you start making them and you do your thing?

shants 02-21-06 08:02 PM

yes kids, a tvyek (fabric used in postal envelopes, fedex etc.) cycling cap. fits approx. sizes 6 3/4 -> 7.

wow now we are working for the future

MLPROJECT 02-21-06 08:10 PM

that thing is made only for 13 year olds

invicta 02-21-06 08:16 PM

you need to make a tyvek one that has the housewrap words on it

omgsunflower 02-21-06 08:18 PM

Did you design the hat yourself or did you find a pattern somewhere?
Ps. They look good, that doom one is sweet. I'd definitely be interested in one once you get your whole routine going.

shants 02-21-06 08:19 PM

it's a standard 4 panel design. i figured out the pattern.
