Gentleman of Fortune Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Does anyone have the slightest idea of what these could be?

Fox Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I've always assumed that they were something like that, but not for any definite reason, just if I try to think of a cap with a facing that's what I come up with.

blackjohn Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I was thinking it was a red tuque, like those of the French aquanauts! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackjohn Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Uhhhh... ok, if you insist... Pic one Pic two Though honestly, I wonder. Yesterday while snooping about I did see pics of guys wearing red knit caps. I'm not sure if I snagged any or not. I'll check my drive.

Gentleman of Fortune Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yuk yuk... If it said knit hat, I might go along with that, but the "leather", faced with red cotton.... geesshhh... My original thougth was that it was stiff thick leather, but maybe its more pliable. Egad this is a tough one. GoF Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!

blackjohn Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I agree, I have a hard time fathoming a leather cap faced with red cotton. Of course, in the last few days I've seen weird stuff like this: You have to admit, you can't get much more bizarre than this. And what the...! Is that dancing guy wearing trousers!?!?! In 1675!?! In Holland!?!?! Going back to your original question, my answer would be no. The pick on Foxe's site is of a guy wearing a kit cap. Not of a guy wearing a leather cap faced with red cotton.

Fox Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 And white socks with black shoes?!?! Sheesh...

blackjohn Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I like these guys... ok, so they are Italian... and it's now 1730... but check it out, red caps... of course I really like them because two are wearing big red poofy pants, not unlike the big red poofy pants I have.

blackjohn Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Dammit Foxe, you have me laughing out loud in my cube! I'll wake my neighbors! Actually, that looks not too different than some of those "drunken" re-enacting pics we posted awhile back. Josh, I believe he also has a pipe up there.

blackjohn Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I really like these guys too, especially the guy with the hooded jacket. Again, Italian. I believe the date was 1732. ps - anyone having lagtime opening this stuff? If so, I can delete the pics and just post links.

Rumba Rue Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Some of the caps look knitted, others look like fez's in a way, but I could see no leather.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pogue Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I know... I was hoping there was something new. I was thinking a leather cap might be kinda cool. I don't know if I want to do a knit cap... Conceptual Simplicity, Structural Complexity, Achieves a Greater State of humanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Fiddle Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Probably being naive here, but that pic of the red hat, as unfocused as it is, immediately struck me as a simple workman's cap, rather like this from the Townsend catalog: http://jas-townsend.com/product_info.php?c...products_id=254 This is just based on the way it seems to sit on the head.

Captain Pogue Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah, not really interested in anything knit... I read somewhere about leather caps and I was hoping someone had come accross something new I could use... Obviously the pic of the red cap at the beginning went down a bad road and turned into some sort hat o' provisions...
