Hey Tony, great video! Any chance you can put together a video on how to cover blank conchos with fabric?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

Potentially. If you glue the front first. I prefer spray adhesive, its quick stick and wont seep through. Then give the back a spray and fold over in small increments.

[@hilarygunton2616]

[@Robert-xp4ii]

Dude! I work with leather and am still a beginner. I really want to make a hat like this but just tried making one with material (duck material sp?). It's thick and solid navy. I'm so jealous of how good you are. I'm trying bro but it's really hard trying to understand the pattern instructions for the elastic part. It seems to me that the elastic should at least be the exact size, possibly even stretched just a touch to line up the marks around the perimeter. I'm using the exact measurements for medium but the elastic is longer than the inside hole of the ring, which my head won't even fit through, let alone my stepdad's whom I want to make this for. I'm going to keep watching your video to see if you cover my particular issue but not sure the patterns are similar. You're a stud at making this hat though. 👍💯

[@TonyAllenBernier]

Thanks Robert! Are you using my pattern? The sweatband is sewn in last and made to fit the cap size afterwords. It might help if you watch my Flat Cap video to.

Tony Bernier what set up does ur 26 have for needle and thread?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

@@MrCranedog44 138 thread in this video, I also use a 69, and I just make sure the thread goes through the eye of the needle easily. Usually the eye looks about twice as wide as the thread. I just go by looks, dont pay attention to the needle size. I always do a scrap piece first though to. Make sure the tension and thread needle size are all dialed in.

[@jonikamppa5091]

Hi Tony! I bought the pattern from your Etsy shop and have done the cap twice now, first time I was too beginner and the material choices were poor but now the finished cap was pretty ok quality-wise but the size was really off. I wonder if it is because I pulled the elastic band too much, the band was too wide (I used really wide one) or I cutted the pattern pieces too small, regarding the last possibility does your pattern include the seam allowance and one can just cut following the line or you should add 3/8" around the sides?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

The pattern includes the seam allowance. As a side note, the thickness and stiffness of the material can also effect the sizing. I usually go one size bigger then do the custom fit method I show in the video. Hope that helps?

[@jonikamppa5091]

@@TonyAllenBernier thanks Tony! I will probably try again since my skill-level is still pretty low. Your tutorial is really easy to follow. I’m planning to get your flat cap pattern as well!

Hi William, unfortunately I'm not taking on any custom work at the moment.

[@Venus-ux6fo]

Great work! Thanks for tutorial. May I ask what is the cap plastic made from?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

Thanks, you're welcome. Originally I was using a blended HDPE, but I've since upgraded the plastic. I believe it's still an HDPE base, but my distributor won't divulge the actual blend. I assume since we had to work at it to find the perfect plastic for what I wanted it for. I'm not really sure.....I sell the inserts, but if you're looking for an alternative, When I first started making caps I used cutting boards I found at the good will. I hope that helps.

[@awyoga]

Any recommendation on what gauge thread to use on the brim when sewing on a regular home sewing machine? I can get my needle through the plastic brim, but my thread keeps breaking.

[@TonyAllenBernier]

I usually go with 69 or 138. Something strong that I use when I sew upholstery, you shouldn't be able to break it with your hands. Are you using a standard machine? or something along the lines of an industrial? another option is to prepunch the holes along the brim with your sewing machine. My other thought would be the insert material, the best stuff I found I now sell out of my Etsy shop.

[@awyoga]

@@TonyAllenBernier Thanks. I'm using a standard machine with the inserts you sell, but the threat is still breaking. I'll try pre-punching the holes if the heavier thread breaks.

[@TonyAllenBernier]

@@awyoga You may want to just punch a few holes and hand stitch the top down. 8 stitches in front , or a couple sets of 4. Your machine may not handle the plastic very well. If you have the manual for it I would take a look at that. Sharp needles always helps!

Hey Tony, thanks so much for putting this one up. One small question, sometimes these caps have an extra flap in the back to cover some more neck, just a bit, not even an inch. How would you go about including that?

[@TonyAllenBernier]

Hi, You bet, thanks. I would cut a piece of tagboard the size and shape I want to create the pattern. Then while I'm sewing the sweatband in I would stitch it between the sweatband and cap.
