Peak Lapel Tweed
This 1930s or early 1940s tweed jacket is an unusual blue color, and has fantastic green swirled buttons. Peak lapels are always a good decision.

1930s Cap Construction Part 2
Continued from Part 1
This was a more expensive cap than the last one. It’s made of a nice heavy tweed, with a pastel purple lining. It was made by the Eastern Cap Company. Whereas the last one was an eight panel cap, this is a flat cap.
The inside of the cap with lining. The lining is fairly standard. Round top.
And again without the lining. As you can see- seams are left unfinished. This pattern cap has 9 main components: top, band, brim, brim covering (2 pieces), lining (4 pieces) and all the hardware. Even though this is a more expensive and dressier cap, the brim, as with the last one, is made of heavy cardboard. This one uses a slightly more flexible stock.
The top panel unfolded.
