Canadian RCAF Wedge Cap Size 7

The Canadian RCAF Wedge Cap Size 7 is a vintage military headwear item used by members of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Characteristic features include its angled, kepi-style design with fold-down sides, made from blue wool with black or blue piping along the top edge. An embroidered or metal RCAF cap badge is typically positioned on the front left side, denoting the wearer’s affiliation. Lined interior material bears the size marking “7,” suitable for a 22-inch head circumference. Wedge caps such as this were standard-issue for Canadian air personnel during the Second World War and postwar years, offering a smart, practical solution suited to both parade and duty use. The simplicity of its design allowed for easy storage and transport, fitting neatly into a uniform pocket. This piece exemplifies period Canadian military uniform standards and provides insight into the material culture of Canada’s air force history.
