Canadian Infantry Corps Officer’s Khaki Peak Cap Hat Size 7 1/8

This Canadian Infantry Corps Officer’s Khaki Peak Cap is a military-issue headgear piece, sized 7 1/8. Characteristic of mid-20th-century Canadian Army uniforms, the cap features a khaki wool exterior with a matching cloth-covered peak (visor) and a brown leather chin strap secured by two small buttons. The front of the cap is adorned with a metal Canadian Infantry Corps badge, signifying the wearer’s affiliation and rank within the unit. Inside, the hat is lined with a dark moiré fabric and fitted with a leather sweatband, which is stamped with the size designation.
