chuck123wapati Report post Posted February 5, 2023 So after searching the globe for a new ball cap and not finding anything i liked i decided to just make one. Pulled a wallymart hat on close out for 4 bucks. Made it into oil cloth first then added the brim and band. It is dyed and finished only with antiquing and super shene, Skived the edges so it doesn't look bulky and sewed it on with my Chinese shoe patcher. I screwed up a few stitches but the patcher didn't, it ran flawlessly. This was the test run for my patcher and my it did great I'll be selling these bad boys they are soooo redneck lol.

fredk Report post Posted February 6, 2023 What defines 'redneck' and what defines 'English Gent' ? I'm pretty bad at dropping people or cultures in to definitions that are sort-of not very definitive I'm not being silly, just stoopid I mean 'viking', 'eskimo', 'native American' I can get but some others ?? Its the same with music - what goes into what style? I dunno with most Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
