thank you Tony for the most informative video of its kind on YT . your work is amazing, I'm learning sewing and this was so informative it felt like I've made the cap myself.

Thank you very much. I live in Russia. I'm learning to sew caps and berets. Your lesson helped me a lot. Thank you again. I am writing to you using an online translator because I do not know English. I'm sorry if I misrepresented my thoughts. Good luck with the development of the channel.

Thank you - great tutorial. I started making caps 2 weeks ago out of fabric - quite pleased with results - but your tut will help finesse my efforts :)
Potentially. If you glue the front first. I prefer spray adhesive, its quick stick and wont seep through. Then give the back a spray and fold over in small increments.
Hi Tony, I forgot to ask you if you ever put a snap in the bill and the cap to keep them together on this cap or the flat cap and if so what size and kind of snap do you use? The flat cap I made my grandson turned out good it just didn't lay as flat as I would have liked on the bill, maybe it was do to using a thicker leather. Thanks so much for your help again appreciate it. Tammy
Best video ever!!! Detailed and very well explained. I've learnt a lot. I would also love to buy your pattern but it's really too expensive in Turkish Liras But anyway, thanks for the tutorial....
@@MrCranedog44 138 thread in this video, I also use a 69, and I just make sure the thread goes through the eye of the needle easily. Usually the eye looks about twice as wide as the thread. I just go by looks, dont pay attention to the needle size. I always do a scrap piece first though to. Make sure the tension and thread needle size are all dialed in.
Thanks for the video, subscribed for the channel. Would this method work with fabric, like tweed or smth similar? Lining and interfacing included, of course
Dude! I work with leather and am still a beginner. I really want to make a hat like this but just tried making one with material (duck material sp?). It's thick and solid navy. I'm so jealous of how good you are. I'm trying bro but it's really hard trying to understand the pattern instructions for the elastic part. It seems to me that the elastic should at least be the exact size, possibly even stretched just a touch to line up the marks around the perimeter. I'm using the exact measurements for medium but the elastic is longer than the inside hole of the ring, which my head won't even fit through, let alone my stepdad's whom I want to make this for. I'm going to keep watching your video to see if you cover my particular issue but not sure the patterns are similar. You're a stud at making this hat though. 👍💯
Thanks Robert! Are you using my pattern? The sweatband is sewn in last and made to fit the cap size afterwords. It might help if you watch my Flat Cap video to.
Hi Tony! I bought the pattern from your Etsy shop and have done the cap twice now, first time I was too beginner and the material choices were poor but now the finished cap was pretty ok quality-wise but the size was really off. I wonder if it is because I pulled the elastic band too much, the band was too wide (I used really wide one) or I cutted the pattern pieces too small, regarding the last possibility does your pattern include the seam allowance and one can just cut following the line or you should add 3/8" around the sides?
The pattern includes the seam allowance. As a side note, the thickness and stiffness of the material can also effect the sizing. I usually go one size bigger then do the custom fit method I show in the video. Hope that helps?
@@TonyAllenBernier thanks Tony! I will probably try again since my skill-level is still pretty low. Your tutorial is really easy to follow. I’m planning to get your flat cap pattern as well!
Thanks, you're welcome. Originally I was using a blended HDPE, but I've since upgraded the plastic. I believe it's still an HDPE base, but my distributor won't divulge the actual blend. I assume since we had to work at it to find the perfect plastic for what I wanted it for. I'm not really sure.....I sell the inserts, but if you're looking for an alternative, When I first started making caps I used cutting boards I found at the good will. I hope that helps.
Any recommendation on what gauge thread to use on the brim when sewing on a regular home sewing machine? I can get my needle through the plastic brim, but my thread keeps breaking.
I usually go with 69 or 138. Something strong that I use when I sew upholstery, you shouldn't be able to break it with your hands. Are you using a standard machine? or something along the lines of an industrial? another option is to prepunch the holes along the brim with your sewing machine. My other thought would be the insert material, the best stuff I found I now sell out of my Etsy shop.
@@TonyAllenBernier Thanks. I'm using a standard machine with the inserts you sell, but the threat is still breaking. I'll try pre-punching the holes if the heavier thread breaks.
@@awyoga You may want to just punch a few holes and hand stitch the top down. 8 stitches in front , or a couple sets of 4. Your machine may not handle the plastic very well. If you have the manual for it I would take a look at that. Sharp needles always helps!
HI I purchased your pattern and am wondering if there is a written version of the instructions or only the video? I do have a half page of instruction, is that it? It says 3/8" SA but it looks like you are sewing a wider SA in the video?? Thank you!
Hi Tony, thank you for this pattern and video I think my 17 year old grandson will love this hat. Can I ask you what ounce leather you used for your hat and what kind of material is best to use for the lining? Keep up the good work really enjoyed your video, can't wait to make this hat. Thank you so much. Tammy
do you make hats for customers i have a photo of my dad wearing a newsboy hat i would like one i am 82 so the picture is old looks like denum fabric how much would charge me for one
Hey Tony, thanks so much for putting this one up. One small question, sometimes these caps have an extra flap in the back to cover some more neck, just a bit, not even an inch. How would you go about including that?
Hi, You bet, thanks. I would cut a piece of tagboard the size and shape I want to create the pattern. Then while I'm sewing the sweatband in I would stitch it between the sweatband and cap.
Tried to translate your comments, not 100% sure what you mean. Thanks for the comment. The caps not to difficult if you take your time and go slow the first few times.

Thank you very much, Greetings.
Hey Tony, great video! Any chance you can put together a video on how to cover blank conchos with fabric?
Potentially. If you glue the front first. I prefer spray adhesive, its quick stick and wont seep through. Then give the back a spray and fold over in small increments.
I like it!! Thx .merci j'ai toujours rêvé d'avoir un beret comme ce ci
I really enjoyed your video from start to finish. Can you please give us the measurements of the panels and bill?
Thank you. If you'd like to get measurements for all the panels and such your best option would be to buy the pattern.

Hi Tammy, I've tacked it down with a couple stitches by hand after I finished. But haven't done it with snaps.
@ where would be a good area to tack it down so it looks good? Thank you Tony
@@tammyaltic2254 I think an inch back from the edge looks good. I would suggest taking it down in a couple spots also.
