We notice both berets and flat caps in the Jemoli Winter catalog. The berets were for boys 2-15 years of age. The flat caps were done in sizes 50-56 cm. We also note children wearing ski cap during the Winter. Jelmoli offered a ski cap with a long string and tassel.
We notice berets in the Jemoli Winter catalog. The berets were for boys 2-15 years of age. Most of the photographs we have seen show ptr-teen boys wearing them. The ad copy read, "Praktisches Beret aus gutem dunkelblauem Wollfilz; kann in Hosen-oder Manteltasche bequem versorgt werden. Fure 2-15 Jaehrige. Bitte Alter angeben. No. 3024,066 Fr.3.50." This translates in part, "Practical beret (made) of good, dark-blue woollen felt. Can be accommodated easily in trousers- or coat pockets. For 2-15 year olds. Please mention age." We note boys in both the French and German speaking cantons wearing berets.
We notice flat caps in the Jemoli Winter catalog. The flat caps were done in sizes 50-56 cm. The ad copy read, "Eine schneidige Knabenkopfbedeckung fuer Knaben ist immer wieder die bewaehrte Buesi Muetze in schmissiger Form; Grossen 50-56. dunkelblau No 3024,047, braun No.3024,048. Fr.3.9." This translates as, "A dashing headgear for boys is repeatedly the reliable Buesi cap in a zippy design. Sizes 50-56. dark-blue # 3024,047, brown #3024,048. Francs 3.9." This appears to be the most popular cap style for older boys.
We note children wearing ski cap during the Winter. Jelmoli offered a ski cap with a long string and tassel. W believe these ski caps were very commonly worn. The ad copy read, "Schneidige Zottelmuetze aus kraefitger Wolle; dunkelblau mit weisser Borte, fur 2 – 15 jaehrige. No 3024,079 Fr.3.50. Bitte alter angeben." This means that they were for children 2-15 years of age. The illustration shows a now wearing the cap. I think, however, that girls also wore them.
