Interesting cap i just received in the post, Probably Slovakian considering it says rajcanka and rajek(a river and town in Slovakia) on the stamped label(stamped labels like this seem to be typical of communist era clothing) so it's probably from the Slovak socialist republic. Only paid £5 for it so quite chuffed, would be interesting to figure out how it ended up in the UK.

Based on that Members Only jacket, I'd guess early- to mid-1980s?

Not a bad cap for £4.60, probably fifties or sixties judging by smaller crown size, had to sew it back down in the middle but that was a piece of cake.
