A stunning piece of English school sports memorabilia, this vintage team cap dates back to the 1944–45 academic year. Crafted from luxurious deep black velvet, the cap is beautifully adorned with gold metallic braid trim along the seams and peak. The front of the cap features an intricately embroidered shield in metallic thread, likely representing the school coat of arms. A gold metallic thread-covered top button adds to the distinguished design, complemented by a thick, weighted tassel in matching gold thread. The cap's velvet fabric remains rich and vibrant, showing minimal signs of wear despite its age. The visor is edged with fine braid, and the date 1944–5 is stitched clearly at the front.

Externally the cap measures 7.5 inches wide, 9 inches deep and 3.5 inches high. Inside head circumference measures approx. 21 inches. Good condition, age related wear and light signs of use. No holes or major condition issues to report. There's manufacturer label and a hand written name is noted. A rare item to find in such good condition with tassel attached. Please review all photos for additional assessment.
