    Greg,

    Those caps look awesome...however I'm still in the ranks and don't see myself sporting an officers cap for sometime.

      I picked up a Captain's cap from Greg not that long ago and was very impressed. The price is well worth it!

          Folks, this is an awesome deal! I don't know how Greg is selling these for this low price. With all the hand work that goes into one of these along with the cost of the materials, he is virtually making nothing. The last time I bought Imported English Gold braid it was around $10 per yard and it takes 5-6 yards for a field grade cap. Not to mention handsewing all of that on in the proper design. I would charge $200 for a Capt's Cap. If you need one, don't pass this deal up!

                The second kepi is sold.

                I am working on a couple more interesting CS officer caps. I'll post them when done.

                Thank you for looking,
