Ivy Cap Style
The style can be traced back to 14th century England, said to have probably emerged from the French 'bonnet'. Ivy caps were almost universally worn in the 19th century by working class men throughout the British Isles, and versions in finer cloth were also considered to be suitable casual countryside wear for upper-class English men (hence the contemporary alternate name golf cap). Cloth caps were worn by fashionable young men in the 1920s. Boys in the United Kingdom and North America of all classes wore ivy cap in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
