Driving Cap: In the mid-19th Century, these caps were worn as a sporting cap in the country by the well to-do. The driving cap has remained a classic class-less style of casual cap that continues to be popular with both young and adult wearers. This pattern was developed from written research, old patterns and historical photographs.

Newsboy Cap: The newsboy cap had its heyday at the end of the 19th century through WW I. It became a universal kind of soft cap worn by boys and men any time regardless of class and activity. This pattern was developed from written research, old patterns and historical photographs.

Gaiters: Gaiters, leg coverings and spatter dashers (spats) have a long history. Gaiters, often have a semi-form fit, due to the materials they are traditionally made from: leather, oil cloth, canvas. These gaiters have a set-in tongue to more effectively cover the shoe or boot. This pattern was based on a drafting from Tailoring of the Belle Époque by W.D.F. Vincent, as well as period artifacts and photographs.
