Based a cap from the 16th Century

By the mid to late 1700's, these caps were especially popular with sailors, and were recorded in period inventories of sailor slop clothing. Monmouth caps are also seen in numerous period paintings and illustrations.

These are very comfortable hats, perfect for reenactments as well as for everyday wear. One size fits most. Available in solid colors: Bright Red, Dark Gray, Dark Green, Heather Green, Navy Blue, Burgundy, and Mushroom.
