Very nice Alan. Great looking choice of fabric. Any chance of a bird's eye shot of the detail on top?

I've started to play golf, after many years away from it, and I'm wearing my caps. The comments have universally been positive. Some have even asked the proshop to start carrying caps. We'll see what happens.

German caps 1931 from Grumach Bros. Berlin.

The flat-caps are described as ¨strictly modern¨ and ¨English pattern¨:

Interesting that both uniform looking styles and civilian styles are sold in the same ad. There's even a kid's sized one.

I think the uniform syles are also for motorsports. I also see hints of a Elbschiffermütze/Prinz Heinrich which is a cap worn by fishermen and similar maritime proffesions. It's usually dark blue or black and has this cord over the visor.

Interesting how high the cap sits on his head.

Regarding the catalog scan above...

The kids visor cap is designated as a ¨schoolboys cap¨.

The uniform-style visor caps are for civilian sports clubs. They are designated as ¨Yacht club¨ and ¨Aviators caps¨ and made from navy blue cloth.

Right below the cap illustration is this box with badges for various clubs (or flags as ornaments).
Among them badges for cyclists, bowling, soccer, gymnasts etc.
