The Pencil Seam cap





The Chamois
1919 Reproduction 2 piece crown cap with 3 top pencil seams

- Full Genuine leather sweat band
- Segma Snap button
- Unbreakable water resistant brim


 I made this cap in  light grey heather wool as it was once offered. It is a 2 piece crown cap, keeping a great balance on a round crown with more angular back. Although it looks great as a neutral color it will be made available in a variety of  wool cloths.


This cap may have been a response to that trend of pencil seams  which were a great way to add some flair to certain pieces. Pictured here is a great novelty Jazz Suit from the early 20s with the pencil seams under the chest.
