The Well-Dressed Head: Vintage Caps for Men: Cap 06: 1920's / 30's belted-back suede leather flat cap (Sold)

A strikingly fine condition leather cap from the heyday of the fashion. Hailing from the late 1920's / early 1930's, this supple suede driving cap is luxuriously satin or silk lined and ready to don. The suede has been cleaned and brushed. Note the last image which shows some faint water spotting on the top. Definitely not too noticeable and presents beautifully. Slight signs of wear here and there, none remarkable. The brim, snap closure, decorative belted back and leather sweatband are all in fantastic shape. 'Exclusive Caps' reads the logo. Three tags are stacked under each other behind the band - "Genuine Leather 7 3/8" / "Union of Cap & Millinery Workers"/ and what appears to be an even older '7 3/8" tag. Don't miss this one, they rarely come up this old and fine!

SIZE: Large - 7 3/8" / 59cm / Approx. 23"

By Way Of INTRODUCTION.

Now here's a bold new concept, indeed.

It seems these days you see chaps all around wearing vintage-inspired 'bunnets', most of which ignore, or worse, blight the sharp, distinctive contours of the cloth caps of the early 20th-century. Now, here is made available a remarkable and swiftly growing collection from which the public may purchase original, vintage caps spanning the last 100 years, from the comfort of their easy chairs.

Additionally, and not of no consequence, these caps can now, for the first time offered, be SIZED to the customer's head, so that one need not be prevented from owning the desired design and example of choice. Using a series of closely-guarded techniques, caps previously too small for the average adult can be stretched, safely and gently too, to adorn even larger size menfolk. A valuable, and if it may be said, unique offer in all of the world.

So now, thus informed, the reader may examine the stylish and authentic caps herein, and if a model is deemed outstanding, won't you purchase it for yourself or as a treasured gift for a man to whom you believe would accept it approvingly, and wear it proudly.

A final word of counsel is proffered in closing. Keeping at the forefront of your mind that these are antique and in some cases quite rare articles, dawdling, dithering or any other form of shilly-shally may result in the item in question vanishing due to another patron's promptness.

Yours in CAPtivity,

K. Lo Bue, proprietor.
