The Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) Peak Cap Hat, Size 6 7/8, dated 1964, is a uniform item issued to female members of the Canadian Army. This headgear features the standard peak cap design used by the CWAC during the post-Second World War period. It is constructed from dark green wool with a black patent leather visor and chinstrap, and it typically includes a cap badge bearing the CWAC insignia, though badge inclusion may vary. The inside of the cap is lined, and a label or stamp may show the date and size markings. The cap represents the official dress worn by women serving in administrative, support, and auxiliary roles within the Canadian military. The 1964 date indicates its use during the early years of military unification in Canada, prior to the formation of the Canadian Armed Forces. This item is of interest for those studying women’s military service, uniforms, and mid-20th-century Canadian military history.
