WW1 Canadian CEF Khaki Officers Peak Cap Hat Size 7 1/8 With Canada Militia Buttons

The WW1 Canadian CEF Khaki Officers Peak Cap Hat is an original headgear item issued to officers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. This particular example is sized at 7 1/8 and constructed from khaki-colored wool, typical of Canadian and British military uniforms from the 1914–1918 period. The cap features the standard stiff leather peak and a brown leather chinstrap secured with two small buttons. Notably, the front of the cap is fitted with “CANADA” militia buttons, signifying its Canadian origin. The interior is lined, as was customary for officers’ caps, and shows period-appropriate tailoring. Such hats were an essential part of the officer’s uniform, worn both in the field and for formal occasions. Today, these caps are notable for their historic military association and are valued by collectors for their authenticity and preserved features.
