FRUMZ BRAND CAPS
Functional Art
Frumz is a word and name I made up to call the oval stickers that I wanted to make. In December 2003 I made the sticker B'KLYN because I was from (frumz) Brooklyn.
After the stickers came t-shirts, sweatshirts and a whole host of items that I emblazoned with my images.
In early 2016 I got the notion that I wanted to sew my own caps. I borrowed a sewing machine and figured out how to use it to do what I needed. Then I took one of my old caps apart to get an idea of how they went together. I came up with two patterns for the caps. A three panel and a four panel design, that I tweaked and tweaked until I got the fit just right. I must say it took me a while and a great many caps to get there. I tried all sorts of fabrics and materials. The brim is upcycled plastic that I hand cut individually. I see each cap as its own piece of wearable art. More like functional art. Essentially, a head covering in disguise. I custom ordered some of the fabric although most of it was purchased at fabric stores I found in passing. Most of the fabric is 100% cotton. Although I have been experimenting with some woven fabrics and textiles. The ribbon is polyester. Along the back is a piece of elastic for snugness. I would say that all the caps are size medium. Ranging in diameter from 22.25in/56.5cm to 22.75in/57.78cm. The elastic along the back gives about an inch or 2.5cm. Some fit snugger than others. I cut out each cap and assembled it. This is my interpretation of the fabric. I am not affiliated with or compensated by any fabric or sewing related companies. All of the fabrics are licensed products. My caps are not licensed items. The caps are being offered from my personal collection. Those caps being offered to the public have never been worn. Prices range from $49 to $129 depending on fabric (and until I'm discovered). All offers are considered. Stay well, stay focused.
