Flat Caps: Linings


Figure 1.--This Canadian boy was photographed probably in the late 1890s or turn of the 20th century. Note thde cap lining.

We have very limited information on cap linings at this time. Good quality flat caps were commonly made in tweed. they were also lined with silk or satin material. We believe that it was very common to line these caps, but we have little information on this, in part because in the available phoographs, the linings are rarely showing.
