Knit Hats for GAoP


Recommended Posts

My monmouth cap came from Gentleman of Fortune (the man who started this very topic). It's an excellent hat and I was glad to get one for my kit. http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/

The vast majority of the crew to which I belong has purchased monmouths and thrums from Kristen Wilkinson. She makes excellent hats to order and she's working on my Whalers Cap. I keep monmouth caps and gunnister purses from her in stock for all the events I attend. Pete can attest to the workmanship/ http://www.etsy.com/shop/KnitKriket

I just ordered a KnitKriket Monmouth Cap for the raffle to be held at the Pirates 4 Salty Ball. Kristen was kind enough to enclose a Gunniston Purse as an additional raffle. Her work is top shelf.

William - Is she going to start making the whalers caps????

Kristen and I are discussing the particulars of the whalers cap, so they should be available soon.

And...the monmouths from GoF and Kristen are so identical that I sometimes forget mine isn't from Knit Kriket. Proof positive that two people can research a period product separately and come to the same result. That's one of my main reasons for commissioning a whalers cap, just so I can remember the distinction.

Thankee Mr. Brand. I'll be looking forward to her producing them.

Today is the first day that it was warm enough not to wear a Monmouth Cap in almost three months.

Kristen is making whaler caps. She's working on the first now and I hope to have it next week. I'll post pictures when it arrives, Because they are made of a finer wool they take a little more material and time to make, so she'll be charging a little more than the monmouths caps, but watch for pics and pricing.

Yeah, it was cold enough today to wear my monmouth. I use it more for shoveling snow and work in the garage than at events.
