Boy's Caps- Another Common Cap

 

I was searching for original images of boy's caps, I was surprised that the most common style was what we call a "cadet cap." today.  It consist of a band and two peice crown.  The top of the crown in a circle and the side piece is a stright peice the same size as the band.
