We have no idea what to call these caps. So our appraoch at HBC is tomsimply describe them. They were a soft brimless cap. A true cap has a brim. This brimless capn was related to the pill-cox cap which was a military style at the time. The pillbox capo was a hard cap. This is asoft cap. We do not see very many in the photgraphic record, especially in Scotland. But there were some. It was not a specifically Scottish style, but an English style, but English styles predominated in the Scottish Low Lands, especilly on the Glasgow side. The bos here fior whatever reasion are not dressed identically, but they have the same caps worn somewhat differently (figure 1).
