that is great- it is really nice to see craftsmanship still alive here
should we expect a new subsidiary of Destry Inc. "Destry's old Carhart and flannel" as a material supplier

Barry was amazed that I had some of this oddball stuff. When I get a project in mind and I find "stuff" that would work for it, I save it. Sometimes it takes years to bring it to fruition. I'd had those Carharts on stash for 30 years, I'd had the flannel for probably 10....

Here's another one he worked up for me based on a vintage design. An 8 panel newsboy made from an old pair of herringbone mechanics coveralls with a blue bandana liner. I've been wearing this bad boy all summer, it's been my go to cap since I opened the shipping box. This was one of Barry's regular patterns, I just supplied the material.

One more, just because I love it too. This is one of his originals, I'm not sure he's even put a name on it yet. Leather strap back, made from a raw denim shop apron I sent down.

Barry has lots of great fabrics, you don't have to supply all your own. It just made it more fun for me to use old vintage stuff I'd been holding on to.

Hey I had one of those.That was proper attire 55 years ago. Mine has been gone maybe 40 years. I must have hunted it to hard.If Walmart ever gets them in I will surely buy another one. They were great hats.
