There were several different styles of caps worn by French boys in the inter-War era. We no longer see bys wearing sailor hats, but sailor caps were worn. The wide-brimmed sailor hat worn before World War I had disappeared. Even little boys no longer wore them. Caps came in a variey of atyles. The flat top style was still available. There was also a modern-looking style with
leather bill. There was also the style worn by French sailors, a soft cap with a red pom. Some boys also wore a cap which looked similar to the caps worn by Americam Navy, I'm not sure what these styles were called. The French cap, however, was not plain right, but rather hada a blue band and insignia. The caps seem to have been most common when the boys were dressing up.
