Iron Jon Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 GoF You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of the leather caps referred to in the Admiralty Contracts? Or even better yet a supplier??? I think I want to go for something other than another tricorn this year and I think that the knitted caps would be a little to warm for my area.

Gentleman of Fortune Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 I would have to look through my info... but honestly, I think that Foxe posted a picture of one here, at the pub, that was recovered from the wreck of the stirling castle.... wait while I search.... took less time than I thought.... So all credit to FOXE! (Photo courtesy of Ramsgate Maritime Museum) and the thread where you may find more info https://pyracy.com/forums/index.php?showtop...&hl=leather+cap Good luck, and post all results! (if you make one show it!)

Iron Jon Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 That's not what I pictured it to be at all! I was hoping for something that looked more like a hornpipe or a pillbox hat or some type of leather skull cap that a common worker would use... not some cowboy sailor. I guess I'll get me a new hat blank and make another cocked hat or maybe just leave it as a wide brimmed hat this time.
