    OK, I have been threatening to make one of these for a while now, so today while sitting around the house I did. I made it out of a fleece blanket that I had laying around. I had a surprise when I tried to attach the hatband to the bottom of the hat, I still had material left over once I got to the end of the band. So I ripped it apart and made a new bottom piece with a smaller hole cut in it, that allowed for the SA that I didn't account for the first time. Any way, here's a bad webcam photo of the finished product.

    Nice! Looks just like an officer's private purchase General Service cap. Finding ever reproduction ones is nearly impossible. I never thought about making one ...

    The GS cap is very similar. Main difference is the body of the hat is 3 piece, rather than a "donut."--One large piece (1/2 the body), and two 1/4 body pieces (with seam allowances, of course.)

    The interior was lined, with the top lining quilted (not quilted all the way to the crown piece, though.)

    Hmm, now I gotta get out my compass and start drafting a GS...

    Again, nice work. Are you making any more in the near future?
