We note some Swedish boys wearing British-style school caps. Some were complete with the school crest. This is almost certainly a style imported from Britain. We are unsure just how common they were and how usage varied over time. A reader tells us that private schools still insisisted on uniforms with caps like this in the 1960s. At his school school, however, the uniform was made voluntary. He and the other boys did not like the caps. They thought that they were hokey and they went flying with the least wind.
