Canadian RCAF Other Ranks Wedge Cap Size 7 3/8

The Canadian RCAF Other Ranks Wedge Cap Size 7 3/8 is a standard issue headgear item used by non-commissioned personnel of the Royal Canadian Air Force. This cap is constructed of blue-grey wool, featuring the distinct wedge shape commonly associated with air force uniforms. It typically includes black cotton lining and may exhibit an internal maker’s mark, size stamp, or service number inked or sewn into the interior. Two small front buttons often display the RCAF insignia or comparable period-appropriate design. The wedge cap was widely worn throughout the Second World War and into the postwar period, forming an integral part of the dress uniform for other ranks. Size 7 3/8 refers to the circumferential measurement, suitable for head sizes approximately 23 1/8 inches (58.7 cm). The wedge cap remains an iconic and recognizable element of Canadian military headgear and is commonly sought by collectors and historians for its historical association.
