Hand knit and heavily fulled in pure wool, and featuring a hand made button, these can be made tall or short. The flaps on the shorter version can be rearranged to fit under the chin if desired, those on the taller one work best left in place as a snug headband.
Any shade you like, a couple of popular ones are in the dropdown but feel free to specify something else, and its helpful if you also put a note of your approximate headsize in the order notes at checkout or by email so that I can set the straps to the right length.
These distinctive caps are a good choice for sailor impresssions from the 16th and 17th centuries, and reflect a recent collaboration with Galen of Toadspool Tailoring, who has kindly allowed the use of his photo in the listing. You can read more about his explorations of this style and see photos of the source material in his article at https://tinyurl.com/4hvns834
As with all my made to order caps, please allow me up to about six weeks to make this for you, though I'm often much faster.

We are sorry to have to announce that Gareth died on Friday 26 March 2021 after being diagnosed with cancer in the autumn of 2020.
Sally had surgery for breast cancer on 30 March and is also currently doing an MSc in Experimental Archaeology, so between healing and university is currently working a bit more slowly than usual. Thank you for your patience and support!
