After my obsession with Tudor Flat Caps began, I decided to make personalized caps for some of my SCA friends (those of my friends that used hats in their garb) for Christmas, based off of their personal heraldry.
It struck me as an especially unique way to display heraldry and add it to an existing outfit.
