Brims for caps

For those of you who make cut-and-sew hats (i.e. newsboys, flat caps, etc.), what do you use for the brim?I've previously used two-ply buckram or heavy-weight buckram combined with interfacing. I've gotten decent results, but I'm so picky, I want it to be perfect.I know that pre-bought brims are also available. Plus there are thermoplastics. I haven't used any of those…See More

"I do make flat caps and do use the plastic compressed foam.  They are easy to sew on and do make the caps look professional.  They are thin enough to cut down to fit the cap I am working on.   Linda"

Kristin Silverman commented on Hat Academy's blog post New Millinery Essentials Course
"That all totally makes sense, thanks! At some point, I think I'd like to get the full bundle, even though I'm not an absolute beginner because I'm sure I could still find value in even the early lessons. :) "

"How does this differ from the previous mega bundle of courses? It's labelled as new, but I thought this or something like it existed before.... Haven't bought any courses yet, but I do want to eventually, once I can either save up money…"

Profile Information

I Love Hats Because?
They're gorgeous and fun. Wearing a hat is a great way to have vintage style without being costume-y. Just a change of hat can switch up your entire look. And they're so collectable.
About Me
In addition to being a milliner, I have also been a graphic designer and a makeup artist. I have loved hats for a long time. When I started making hats, things just "clicked" and I feel like I found my calling.
