Handmade man's 100% wool smoking cap or lounging cap. The round cap is 24" in circumference and 4" tall. The fabric is navy blue with royal blue and light gray windowpane weave. The sides and the top are made from the same fabric with the top showing the reverse design from the side. It is lined with black 100% cotton fabric. It is decorated with an off-white colored "silk-look" rayon 5" tassel held in place with an amazing antique glass button. The button is 1 1/8" wide, the center is raised and faceted, the edges are swirling leaf-like designs. The facets give the button a lot of flash, it has an amazing deep blue iridescence. This is a new, unused cap.

During Victorian and Edwardian times, after dinner, gentlemen left the ladies and gathered to smoke their cigars and share a drink. In order to spare the ladies the smell of smoke gentlemen would frequently don their "smoking jacket and smoking cap" which could be removed, along with the smoke smell. 

Civil War re-enactors enjoy wearing the warm caps on a cool evening around the campfire. Steam punk, Edwardian, cigar club members, or any distinguished gentleman, will enjoy the cap. Smoking /lounging caps are a great accessory, suitable for many eras and uses. Smoking is not required!

Dry clean only.
