Canadian Royal Military College Pillbox Cap Hat Numbered 672

The Canadian Royal Military College Pillbox Cap Hat Numbered 672 is a traditional military dress item associated with the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC). This cap features the distinct pillbox shape, characterized by a flat top, straight sides, and a narrow band, reflecting classic military headgear styles adopted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cap is typically constructed from dark-colored wool and includes adornments such as a cord and a regimental badge, identifying the wearer’s affiliation with RMC. The inside is usually lined, and a serial number—here, “672”—is often stamped or labeled to correspond with the individual to whom it was issued. Pillbox caps were worn by cadets as part of dress uniforms during formal events, parades, and ceremonial occasions. This item serves as a representative example of Canadian military academic heritage and is of interest to collectors specializing in military accoutrements and institutional uniforms.
