The Aviate
Early 1920s full pleated crown cap
 | ||
| Advertisement from 1921 |
A very popular design of the period. This cap has 8 inverse box pleats wear seams would normally be on a one piece crown with a full band to close the pleats.
These caps would always be found to be full cut (11- 11 1/2) with peak's ranging from 2 inches to 3 inches.
It can be seen in films and in candid photography of the period being dressed up in a suit or dressed down in a shawl collar and gaiters.
I have reproduced it and has been made available in the Haberdashery.
A still of a character wearing this cap from the 1921 Harold Lloyd film "A Sailor-made Man"
