Got myself a crusher from Diamond Dave today and it is a first rate piece of work.
Now What price Glory do a reasonably priced crusher as do many firms and they are fine. Dave's caps cost more but I am happy with what I now have to have paid the extra. the scoop on the bill, the drape of the material and the neat solid construction make for a cap that looks the part 100% and will not give up the ghost at a 40's event like an original might. I would prefer to see a celluloid liner. my personal opinion is that the one inside is too modern looking but that is just me. I will be removing it anyhow for a silkier feel on my baldy swede.
I have heard comments that they are too pricey and for some on here (for whom, after all the focus is Jackets not headgear) they may well be but If I dare draw a goodwear/cooper comparison, even with the 'lancaster' branded caps and their plastic baskets then I am sure that you will see what I mean
I am also now in a position to endorse his T shirts as they look just right.
Regards
Tim.
Thanks for your effort Dave.
