Boys' Beanie Chronology: The 1910s

beanies 1930
Figure 1.- Here we see a boy dressed up for some occassions, but wearing a playful beanie with colored wedges. The photograph is not dated. It looks like the 1910s to us, but the very early 20s is possible.

HBC has very limited information on beanies. We have not yet found images from the 1900s, but we do notice them being worn in the 1910s. They were worn in colleges, but we are not yet sure about the chronology. We do see a lot of examles in the catalogs, but we do see examples in the photographic record. Interestingly, the beanie was not just a casual play item. But we see some being worn by boys being dressed up. The beanie was not enormosly popular, but we do see enough examples to realize that it was a style being worn.
