Why did I set up this Etsy shop?

I’ve always been very particular about the things I want to wear, and quite often those things do not exist in the marketplace. So, for years I’ve been creating my own customized apparel, which frequently draw compliments from friends and strangers alike. However, my Custom Kangol caps always seem to generate the most attention, as people are constantly asking where they can buy one, and suggesting that I sell them.

If you’d like to own one of my high quality Custom Kangols, please consider the amount of money, time and effort it requires to make one of these beauties. I'm not producing these caps to earn a living, I simply enjoy creating and wearing them!

If you’d rather DIY, here are the supplies needed for a Custom Kangol (my expert design skills are not included):

A. Cricut Explore Air 2 cutting machine (Retail $249.00)
B. Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) sheets (~$8-$10/color on Amazon or eBay)
C. Clover Mini Iron II with Adapter Set (~$30-$40 on Amazon or eBay)
D. Adobe Illustrator, or other vector-based design software
E. Kangol Tropic 507 cap (~$35-$40 on Amazon or eBay)
F. Scissors, tweezers, masking tape, sharpie, ruler, and cardboard
