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.

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)

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.
