Cap

American

Not on view

With the advent of the motor car, drivers needed new type of headwear that provided protection against dust, cold and the sun. A brimmed cap became the style favored by drivers of open automobiles in the early 1900s. Here, the striking ocelot pattern would have given the wearer a dashing appearance, but a less expensive fur has been printed to look like a more luxurious and exotic pelt.
