How to Sew a Simple Flat Cap

[@hattierensberry2526]

I didn't know that I wanted to make caps... Now I only want to make caps 😍

[@Ceshini1]

Haha, I agree so much. I saw this and I was like must do now!😂

[@ryebarnes2970]

If you make hats be a bespoke hat maker so it fits every customer perfect

[@marcysowers2852]

Same!!!!!!

[@asincerewoman]

I can't sew. This is agony!

[@oasisneko1]

@@asincerewoman Yeah, I'm terrible at manual dexterity, but I can't find a hat I like... so I have to make it (?)

Es ist mir immer ein Freude, hier auch Männer zu entdecken, die zum Feld des Vintage-DIY beitragen.

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

It s cool how you teach us how to sew. Could you do maybe a waistcoat, jacket and trousers next and then maybe more advanced pieces ( Norfolk jackets, pleated trousers etc. ). Best regards and cheers.

[@Vintagebursche]

Yes, we will get there. I don't know when we will be at jacket construction since I haven't made one, yet. However, waistcoats and trousers are included in our sewing book, so I'll do something like this for sure.

[@krunoslavkovacec1842]

@@Vintagebursche Awesome. Thank you

[@AsitorCorporation]

Agreed! I've recently been doing my own alterations to some clothes and I want to learn to make stuff from scratch eventually (though I'm a long way off). This hat looks like a great place to start on something relatively small and simple and a bit more forgiving. Agreed on the size reduction as the original one was giving me landschneckt vibes, the 28cm looks far better fitting. I'm going to try to get the materials to make it seeing as I'm being paid to stay at home for 2 months, then I suppose I'll have to buy your book and go from there, I'd like to make my own 20s style waistcoast eventually but I don't want to get ahead of myself just yet.

[@Vintagebursche]

Well, next up are spats, a deerstalker and an Inverness cape. But maybe a waistcoat might follow after thar.

[@tonydeltablues]

Final product: looks amazingly good...love the 3-piece suit too. Very Duke of Windsor-esque. I'm enjoying your channel. Tony

[@Colin.Smith.Pianist]

This is the sixth time I've made a hat from your pattern. You're my official resource!

[@CFinch360]

Another great video, thanks for emphasizing the importance of ironing the seams and throughout the construction of any item, it's essential to a smart look in the finished project.

[@lensman67]

Nice job! I learned to sew while in the Army stationed in Germany back in the 70's. Back then the Germans were not too fond of American G.I.'s but since I took the trouble to dress as much like the German gentlemen as I could afford and worked hard on speaking poor but determined German I got along well. I even got an apartment on the economy at a time when the Germans refused to rent to most G.I.'s. By the way, in the Army a sewing kit is known as a "housewife." PS--I wore a cap just like that!

[@acharyajamesoermannspeaker6563]

My father was stationed in Germany in the '60s he did not mention any lack of fondness.

[@dagsvensson8119]

Perfect result! I also liked the background music. Very peacful and fitting. Keep up the good work :)

[@BingoBongoBingerz]

Great video, a flat cap from the 1920s without all the extra panels to make it more slimmer or tapered. Nice and oversized on the sides just how they used to be

[@frager653]

Great video! Love the fact that you put all the actual sewing footage in it! :D

[@Vintagebursche]

Well, not all of it but a lot. I hope that speeding up the footage (and the music) helps so it's not too boring.

[@luismaximilianomoreno7642]

Thank you for your clear and easy way to follow your advice and teaching ...

[@rich-f-in-tx6388]

I'd recognize that sewing machine anywhere. From what I could see, It's gotta be either a Singer 411G (the Slant-O-Matic series). We had the 401A, 403A and the 404A here in The States. Excellent work on the cap. Best wishes.

Brilliant. Easy to follow. Well executed and great ideas for a wardrobe composition at the end. Genuine pleasure to watch. BTW you got me back into watching Babylon Berlin again with a new eye for detail.

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Thank you! You make it look so easy! I can now make flat caps for my vintage teddy bears by adjusting the size to fit them! 👍🏼😄👌🏼

[@arvindsahai552]

In my Country, neither Amazon.in nor flipkart.com which are famous online sellers provide real flat caps. International shipping on amazon.com or ebay.com cost more than the product. U made me to make it myself. Your cap is different from newsboy which have 8 panal. I like your work, it is inspiring.

[@FuschelChan]

I have just finished my cap, it's amazing! I pricked my fingers a lot, but that's just my clumsiness haha. Thanks for the tutorial!!

[@WildRover1964]

That's a nice suite too. Kind of timeless and I like the tie knot and pin.

Good evening, Professor. I hope that you will make us many models of hats for men. Your lesson here is clear and understandable. Because of this video, I have subscribed to your channel now and I hope to see many models to learn. Thank you for your effort. ❤

[@TheTrulyroman]

Excellent job, and hugely inspirational for practical chaps like myself. Thank you.

[@dondaugherty3138]

I'm in the process of making mine, now. I'm repurposing an old pair of black jeans, for the main fabric and an old flannel shirt, for the lining. It seems to be going well

[@oliviasimard8621]

[@lennypearl]

Awesome! I'd love to attempt to sew something! I knit and would love to find vintage menswear patterns pre-1930s. I have found patterns from the 1930s and up, but only womenswear from the 20s and earlier.

[@mercedescohen]

Thanks this looks like fun. I plan to sew one (when I get done sewing masks) I was a bit confused when you referred to the "peak" which later I saw was the brim. I'm not sure if this is a difference between British English and American English. However, there is a big difference between "smother" and "smoother." Smother is to stop someone from breathing by covering the mouth (ersticken). You might want to update that text on the screen. I'm going to try to make a hat with felt for the lining. Mach's gut!

[@amyhannon3034]

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing the construction methods and materials

Gonna be making this cap for my Barbenheimer outfit!

[@Plattensammler88]

Ich kann zwar nicht nähen, aber ich bin nun inspiriert es mal zu probieren. Vor einigen Jahren habe ich bei einem Flohmarkhändler, der mit historischer Mode handelt eine wunderschöne extrem breite Schiebermütze aus den 20ern bekommen, die ich seitdem nur noch getragen habe. Irgendwann habe ich sie in einem Restaurant vergessen und suche nun schon seit Jahren nach Ersatz. Jetzt kann ich mir den selber zaubern!

[@لمارالشهريه]

[@sandrabaskette9937]

Beautiful work

[@ThimblewolfArt]

I'm so jealous of all the gorgeous suiting fabric you wear. Does fabric like this have to be dry cleaned, or can you get away with putting it in the washing machine on delicate and then drying on a clothes rack?

[@Vintagebursche]

I don't ever put wool (except knitwear) in the washing machine. Usually I just air and steam my wool garments. If there is a proper stain, I take them to the dry cleaners. You loose all the great wool wax if you wash or dry clean it too often.

[@CredibleHulk10]

Are the measurements provided throughout the video the meausurements used for the actual hat you wear at the end, or is that a second version that doeant match the measurements?

[@jannadrielcervo7753]

Woah! Never thought I wanted to sew a flat cap on my own. It is very hard to find one in my country, or one that I like. I think if you couldn't find a proper one that you like, just make one of your own.
