The Canadian RCAF Wedge Cap 1957 Dated Size 7 1/4 is an authentic headgear piece issued to members of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) during the mid-20th century. This cap is dated 1957, reflecting the period following the unification of RCAF uniforms post-World War II and prior to their integration into the Canadian Armed Forces. Constructed from blue-grey wool, the wedge cap features a foldable crown with a cloth lining and leather sweatband. It is designed in size 7 1/4, suited for head circumference corresponding to that measurement.
