Canadian Forces RCAF Wedge Cap Size 7 1/4

The Canadian Forces RCAF Wedge Cap Size 7 1/4 is a standard-issue piece of headgear used by personnel of the Royal Canadian Air Force. This cap, commonly referred to as a “wedge,” is constructed from blue wool blend fabric and features the distinct fold-over design typical of RCAF uniforms. It includes a black-finished front peak and retains the clean, simple lines associated with Canadian military dress. Typically, wedge caps display branch or unit insignia on the left side, although insignia may vary or be absent depending on the era and issuing regulations. The interior is lined for comfort and durability, and the marked size of 7 1/4 corresponds to a head circumference of approximately 58 centimeters. Wedge caps of this type have been in service in various forms since the mid-20th century, appearing in formal, ceremonial, and some operational settings. This example offers a representative artifact of Canadian military uniform history.
