@lizacorsillo Thanks so much for the shout on @strategist! Quick correction - there is no "&" in my name- just Otis James. We've also just had to up our lead time due to overwhelming support from folks. Probably more like 3 weeks now. Crazy times right now! Thanks again.

This is the style you’ll see me in most often lately: the Field Cap. Shown here on the beach in Sayulita in a lightweight denim with gold stitching.
The Field Cap began as the Slugger style about 8 years ago. Last… https://t.co/s4o56VZokN

I almost forgot to mention this fine Field Cap style that is available online. Bone-colored denim crown with a dusty French blue sueded twill peak. Blue topstitching all around. Has sort of a Sandlot-era vibe to me.… https://t.co/94Y3XDC2Yq

These camo and corduroy Field Caps make me happy. Camo print isn’t something I gravitate towards normally, so these were a small step out of my comfort zone at first. In the end, these turned out wonderfully, and… https://t.co/ibDrN6Ic1J

Here’s a recent Field Cap I made for a talented knifemaker friend - phillips.forged. This one is made from a #vintage #army shelter tent I’ve had for several years and features a custom stencil on the front inspired… https://t.co/sk5lHgZ7Aa

It’s not always the customer’s name or initials on the inside.

Today’s #smallbatchsunday offering is a dark #selvedge denim #6panel cap with gold stitching. Salmon-line selvedge detail on the back, goatskin leather padding up front, individually stamped label,… https://t.co/oBRrmxwxVH

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate fatherhood than to share with my son two of my greatest passions: riding a bike and being in nature.
We got to take Arlo on his very first camping trip and bike ride up at… https://t.co/xgubKjBxM1

Thanks so much to everyone who jumped on the Summer Blues preorder this weekend! It means a lot to have the opportunity to make custom caps for friendly folks, and I’m especially excited about these latest offerings.… https://t.co/MQP3Mvsk3u

Last day to preorder the Summer Blues collection, including this pinstripe mechanic cap. Available in adjustable or fitted sizes. And with your name hand painted inside. Check out the Summer Blues collection on my… https://t.co/1YxEJtLnl1

This button here is for securing the crown to the peak on the Peddler cap. A little #artisandetail that offers a variation on how the cap can be worn.
Preorders are up on this style until Monday night. Check out the… https://t.co/Jp4ytkb5ap

[Otis James @otisbjames]

This is a new one, here. The Peddler. It’s sort of a hybrid between a ball cap and a newsboy, you might say. I’ve done a variation or two in the past, but this one is different. 8 panels in the crown, which is… https://t.co/bChKqdjJpC

The Summer Blues collection is now live! I’ll be taking preorders on 5 denim and chambray caps through Monday. After that, I get started on making all of them.
These are custom caps at an inventory cap price. Get… https://t.co/DxA8Ml6RF8

Don’t forget! I’ll be in Nashville this Saturday, from 10-6, at @thegetalong in East Nashville. Check them out to see the family fun they have planned at their neat shop. I will have bow ties and some caps. Taking… https://t.co/tlcnto9khJ

I’m working on some denim caps this week to bring with me to Nashville. I will also be taking custom orders at @thegetalong this Saturday. (See previous post for details)
This one here is in a style I haven’t made… https://t.co/0kLE2FriqE

[Otis James @otisbjames]

Nashville... I’m doing a pop up this Saturday at @thegetalong in East Nashville from 10-6. It’s a great opportunity to pick up a bow tie for Father’s Day or check out the cap options.
As well, there will be… https://t.co/frUGqbo1P5

Quality is a major driving goal for me. Perhaps above that, though, is Character. Why take the time to make something by hand if it isn’t unique and special? If I’ve succeeded, I’ve made something you want to hold in… https://t.co/LanR597Dh8
