While struggling through a drug-induced sleep, trying to beat a severe sinus infection last week, I dreamt up a concept for a cool new cap.
It would be grey and navy blue, with the 66 Batman logo stitched on to the front. On the side would be the famous blue satin ears, and on the back it would have a detachable cape!
I had my seamstress throw one together and VOILA! I like how it turned out. I got a lot of great comments at Wondercon.
It's difficult to see here, but you can get the general idea. I'll post more pics of it as they trickle in from the con. They're expensive to make, so I'm thinking the four I had made up will be it for now.

Here are a few extra pics I just took. The cape is made out of light material so it flows nicely as you walk.

Re: Fun new Batcap
I had four caps embroidered with the 66 Batman emblem at Mr. Stitch in Sherman Oaks, CA. The set up fee was high, and each run they do is also fairly high. I won't be making any more of them, but I wanted something cool to wear at Wondercon. I only made four of them...I have one, I'm sending one to Adam, and the other two I'm stashing for awhile. They also come with little removable capes on the back that flap in the breeze as you walk down the street. They're pretty fun little things!
