Jas. Hook Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 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???? Jas.

William Brand Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 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???? Jas. Hook sorry - didn't realize yours from from GOF... Is it much different? mP 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas. Hook Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 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. "Born on an island, live on an island... the sea has always been in my blood." Jas.

William Brand Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
