Subject: [CR]Vintage style cycling caps

Does anyone know where I can get pre-war style white cotton cycling caps? The 1950's-onwards caps have a different shape, and I want to get ones of the pattern worn by the Alcyon rider (pale blue jersey) in the L'Eroica pho tos on the Brooks England website. See: http://www.brooksengland.com/brook sengland.html and use the drop down menu to go to "L'Eroica" via "News and Events".

Come to think of it,does anyone know where I can get an Alcyon jersey like his? I'm rebuilding an Alcyon.

Most of my racing bikes date from the 30's and 40's, so this style of cap i s more appropriate. And anyway, the close-fitting modern caps don't suit m e, since I have a head like an over-inflated soccer ball...
