This vintage uniform visor cap was manufactured by Carlson and Company, Uniform Tailors, located at 9 So. Clinton St., Chicago. The cap features a dark black fabric body with a reinforced tall band and a soft, pliable bell-style crown. It is fitted with a black lacquered visor. The interior is lined with black fabric and retains a tan leather sweatband. A diamond-shaped maker label is present in the crown interior, protected by a stitched clear plastic cover. The gold-printed label features an eagle emblem with spread wings above the text: Carlson and Company, Uniform Tailors, 9 So. Clinton St., Chicago. A small circular paper tag is attached to the interior, handwritten with the size 6 3/4 and additional illegible initials. This style of peaked cap was a standard component of American professional uniforms for civil service, transportation, or private service workers during the early to mid-20th century.
