Also in this lot was a wool cap with an adjustable buckle on the back and small snap brim. The inside is lined in satin with a leather hat band. It measures 22 inches inside circumference. This is an excellent close-up view of the cap style that was so widely worn by American boys in the early 20th century, especially in the 1920s and 30s. These caps had a range of stylistic variations. This is a classic example of a flat cap. This cap was in a lot of other 1920s clothes, a pair of knickers and suspender shorts.
