Home   Souvenirs   Side Cap

A side cap is a foldable military cap with straight sides and a creased or hollow crown sloping to the back where it is parted. It is known as a garrison cap or flight cap (in the United States), Schiffchen (in Germany), pilotka (in Russia), a wedge cap (in Canada), or officially field service cap (in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries). It has been associated with various military forces from before World War I until the present day; as well as various youth organizations. A convenient feature of this cap is that when the owner is indoors and no coat-hook is available, it can be easily stored by folding it over the belt or, unofficially, by tucking it under a shoulder strap.
