Age trends can be basically pieced togethr by the photographic record. The swabie cap was mostly worn by pre-teen boys. This included both pre-school and school-age boys, but mostly school-age boys. As far as we can tell, the popularity was roughly the same throughout the primary (elementary) grade school years. Perhaps a little more the older cohorts as the boys began to exercise more control over what thgey wore. They seen very popular with primary-age boys. We see boys in their early-teens wearing them, but not very many older teens.
