These rounded crown hats were stiff conctruction, unlike the soft hats that could be folded. These rounded crown hats were very common for boys, all ages of boys. It was not a style just for younger boys. There were several different elements to these hats. The most important was the crown and the brim. The crown was made at different heights. A few had embroidery. The brim characteristics varied. There were different withs of brims. In addition the brim was handled differently. We see some brims molded upward. For some this was done only slightly. In other instances it was molded way up, cobering a good bit of the crown. The most common style was the one in which the brim was only slifglty turned up. The hat the boy on the previous page is wearing is a good example of a brim molded up. Hat bands also varied. The rounded-crown hats for the younger boys might have streamers. We also notice hat bands with bows.
