Canadian Pattern Winter Forage Cap
 
 
 
Canadian Pattern Winter Forage Cap. The cap is made with a soft, heavily padded top and a stiff, cloth covered cardboard visor manufactured by Anderson Clothiers in Toronto in 1916. The cap has ear flaps with a cloth chin strap that can be folded down for inclement weather.

On the Canadian Pattern Winter Forage Cap, the complete interior including the top and the sides, are tan/grey quilted wool similar to flannel. The top (the crown) on this cap displays the zigzag quilted stitched pattern invariably found on this pattern. The interior on this example is stamped with a blurred "C" with a broad arrow. The green underside of the cardboard visor can be seen here. There were no ventilation grommets on this pattern of cap.
