We do not know much about Welsh headwear in the 19th century. Styles in the cities basically followed English styles. We are less sure about the towns and especially villages. We notice girls and women wearing traditional styles, including elaborate bonnets. We are less sure about boys. We see Welsh boys wearing a variety of headwear in the 20th century. There were several particularly popular styles. As far as we can tell the styles werw largely the same as in England. We note boys wearing various types of sailor headwear. Flat caps popular at the turn-of-the 20th century. School caps were a major style in the late-19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The boy here is a good exmple (figure 1). Notice the segmented styling. Boys commonly wore their school caps with their suits. This was something that was common in England as well until the 1960s.
