The inspiration for the cap came from the CDV shown and the Voyageur cap or toque of the fur trade era. During that time the caps were often made of red wool. Another cap of similar shape was the Liberty Cap, which go back to the 1700’s and were either red or blue and often had patriotic mottos on them. This cap can be used for any Era from the 1600's up to modern day. Civil war soldiers will enjoy the cap for daily camp wear or as a sleeping cap.
