THE PIECES OF A FISHERMAN CAP

How many components go into a cap? Part of the capalog's obsession is figuring out the jigsaw of how many pieces go into each cap, the length and shape & size of each one and how all the certain shapes change the final outcome.

This one for example is a fisherman's cap, it's made from an oval at the top, two slightly arched strips create the sides, a long thin piece makes the headband and then you've got the peak.

The arched strips for sides are cut to a very exact shape and size. The bottom length creates the headsize and the top length creates the volume of the crown. 

(And no, it's not superimposed onto the photo! :P It's really carefully balanced.. like really frigging carefully with weight bags & swearing I mean stuffing..)
