Canadian RCN Navy Officer’s Peak Cap Hat Size 7 1/4 Missing Sweat Band

This item is a Canadian Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) Officer’s Peak Cap, in size 7 1/4. The cap is constructed in the traditional naval style, featuring a dark navy wool top, a black patent leather peak, and a gold wire-embroidered badge on the front depicting a naval crown and anchor emblem. The inner lining of the cap is present; however, the sweat band is missing, which is noted for condition accuracy. Such peak caps were standard issue for RCN officers and used as part of the formal dress uniform during the mid-20th century. The cap’s external materials, insignia design, and construction are consistent with period naval specifications. This example shows evidence of age and service-related wear. The absence of the sweat band may impact overall structure but does not obscure the cap’s historical features. This piece offers insight into the uniforms worn by Canadian naval officers.
