Apple Cap

The apple cap is a floppy newsboy hat with a soft brim. In the 1970s, a young Michael Jackson often performed on stage wearing an apple cap. His hat was made up of a series of 8 triangles sewn together. Mine is a 6-gored version, but the triangular panels still form a full “apple” shape. Pile your hair into the crown and pull on your bell bottom pants to balance out the look.

Lately, I have been designing and sewing reversible summer hats. As with my bucket hats, I like to use 100% cotton fabrics in solid colours, stripes, geometric patterns, and floral prints, mixing and matching for a modern funky reversible apple cap.
