A week on saturday, The Capalog will be at Mercato Metrolpolitano with the Crafty Fox Market and lots of other lovely makers.
Open from 11am-5pm, there will be all the new panel caps to try on and see in person, as well as caps to buy in all the basic colours, sale trappers and cloche caps and you can work out your head size in person, and order a cap on the day.
New panel caps - The monochrome collection
Introducing the new block colour panel caps.
Last week 8 new panel caps were added to the collection, some in a couple of colour block two tone combos, but some in monochrome colours too! Today I'm gonna focus on the monochrome coloured panel caps.
The block coloured caps include, Copper, Teal, Olive & Mustard.
A Box of Flat Caps Part One
So way back in 2015, before I left London I bought the geekiest thing ever (to a self taught cap maker), on ebay. A very LARGE box of flat cap patterns in various sizes and styles, supposedly from a hat factory that closed down. Best £89 I ever spent.
Don't Forget Giftcards for Valentine's.
For those of you that haven't spotted, it's Valentine's day next week! Next monday, to be exact. That super cheesy corny day that comes around once a year. If you've forgotten to get something or stuck for something to ask for then don't forget giftcards.
How are all the caps made?
A bit more about cap making for those curious.
All the caps sold at the capalog are tailored from scratch. That means that the original shape comes from a paper pattern and a shape that I've sketched out. Once the pattern is fine tuned, all the fabric pieces are cut out and machined on the wee bernina sewing machine in house.
