Pleated Linen Cap glassware This enthralling work of scholarshipA cap is an absolute necessity for any woman in the 18th century. While caps range from simple to extravagant, the basic round eared style is commonly found. The linen makes these easy to wash and durable, as well as gives you a perfectly historical look with an appropriate fabric. The pleated front linen cap has a wide caul and a modest pleat edging the front and around the ears. The small drawstring in the back ensures one size fits all.
