Cottage Core 2023 Flat Cap Tutorial

EDIT: THE LENGTH MEASUREMENT CALCULATION FOR THE TOP IS INCORRECT. PLEASE USE Circ/1.68 NOT Circ/0.94!
I put it out in a recent newsletter that I was really taken this year by the Cottage Core aesthetic for my menswear. I have always had a vintage feel to the way I dress, probably driven by my father's fashion choices. My favorite cap is a "golf cap" or Flat cap...sometimes called a driver's cap. It is an essential part of many looks in the cottage core style. They're soft, comfortable and super easy to make.
The pattern I have included in the video is a proportionate draft based on your head circumference. Just use the diagrams, measure your head and make the calculations. After that, just plot the lines and draw the shape!
The BEST part about the video is the use of up-cycled/recycled jeans for the exterior fabric. It gives us the opportunity to use a contrast stitching, it has a nice, middle-brow, working class feeling to it and the good feelings of re-using a piece of clothing to make something chic and new.
