Canadian RCAF Administration Officers Wedge Cap and Insignia Size 7 1/8

The Canadian RCAF Administration Officers Wedge Cap and Insignia, size 7 1/8, is an authentic uniform item associated with officers of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s administrative branch. The wedge cap, commonly referred to as a “side cap,” is constructed from blue-gray wool, a standard color for RCAF service dress during key periods of the 20th century, including the Second World War. This example features a black-finished plastic or sometimes brass officer’s cap badge bearing the RCAF insignia, indicating the wearer’s officer rank and specific administrative role. The interior is typically lined with rayon or cotton for comfort, and this cap is sized for a head circumference of 7 1/8 (approximately 57 cm). Items such as this were standard issue for administrative officers and reflect the regulation dress requirements and insignia codes prescribed by Canadian military authorities. This cap provides a representative example of RCAF officer headgear from its period of service.
