I only wore one when playing or coaching softball.

...Flat Cap!.... ... ...!

...but I don't have a flat head and my rounded pate puts a mound in the midst of the hat top when the brim slips down about head and forehead.

Once upon a time, a Blue beret accompanied the USAF khaki casuals (discontinued).

Good morning all...

Now check out this Link:

The headgear was the RCMP Stetson style.

The colour for the RCMP Stetson is sometimes referred to as "Belgian Belly"; it is a reddish buff, pastel like color of the underfur of the Belgian Hare. ...

Forage Cap/Peaked Cap

-best looking headgear I have ever worn

I've always known that as a peaked cap. The RAF forage cap is what you would call a wedge. See this photo of Douglas Bader wearing one. http://cas.awm.gov.au/item/SUK14726

Hi Doug

I made a change as yes that is a RCAF Peaked Cap which I still think is the same thing as a Forage Cap.

I added

My Uncle wore one of those in the British Army in WW II. (Khaki uniform).

They could be unbuckled, fastened under the chin, and worn as a sort of Balaclava, covering the head and ears, in the cold weather.

Very uncomfortable to wear otherwise,

Hi Doug and Paul and all... (don't want to leave anyone out)...

The RCAF Wedge was not that uncomfortable at all, still worn today by aircrew in the Canadian Forces but for us it was a convenience.
