shants-made cycling caps
 
so, i've made a couple of cycling caps in the last two days and i figured that i would post pictures of my second (out of two) and best one. it's made from a wool suit coat and is ****ing lined (same lining that was in the jacket. i like a slightly longer bill on my cycling caps (you see some from the 70s and 80s that are like this), so this cap reflects that. i can make them smaller, though. in any case, i am going to start selling them soon, but this post isn't about that. i have to get my process down a little more so that i am more efficient and make a web site, but yeah. you'll be seeing my **** soon.

here it is (i look like a ******bag in this picture - just pay attention to the hat):

benny 02-05-06 05:21 PM

Lookin good! Nice job! There are some custom cycling hats available in SF. Anyone knows who makes them?

Sin-A-Matic 02-05-06 05:26 PM

That looks nice. You've got some sewing skills.

mikearena 02-05-06 05:45 PM

I've got a couple under my belt, but can't find anything suitable to use for the bill. Mind sharing your secret?

killyourself 02-05-06 05:46 PM

yeah, of course. cotton, etc. this is definitely a winter as **** hat

Jesse M 02-05-06 06:04 PM

i'd be into having a cotton one. can you do ear flaps?

mattface 02-05-06 06:07 PM

that looks great. I wouldn't use wool for the inner band. Cotton duck or poly ribbon would be my choices.

You should pick up some Harris tweed jackets at resale shops, and use em complete with label. A Harris Tweed cycling cap that'd be the ****!

Shants, you are a sexy beast.

Ken Wind 02-05-06 06:14 PM

That sir, is the jam.

I'd be willing to purchase one for a reasonable price/trade.

fordfasterr 02-05-06 06:27 PM

you filthy douch3 !

j/k. ... I want one ... light and filthy for the dirty souf.

=) how much $ ?

Ready to Ruck 02-05-06 06:31 PM

I'd be down for supporting an individual trying to make a few bucks and dually making me look pretty when I'm riding.
If you can make one suitable for Texas (as in, unlined) and in a breathable material, I would be interested.

bikeage 02-05-06 06:42 PM

man, I would love to have one

luggedwithlove 02-05-06 06:46 PM

mattface 02-05-06 06:55 PM

That is a sweet cap. I am a sucker for maroon.

I just bought a handmade cap off of ebay awhile ago, but I would really want one of your caps when you sell them (well... if you make one from a non-wool fabric or faux wool).

I like the lining :D.

Very cool.
