French bonnets
editIt would be good to cover these too. What's the story with the pom-pom? Andy Dingley (talk) 01:30, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Russia
editWhy is this linked to wikiproject Russia? Because the first image is of their navy's sailor's cap? That makes not much sense. 173.49.233.207 (talk) 16:26, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- I’m not sure about the overall organization of the article, but the visorless flat military hat being described here in its peaked/visor version was first instituted by the Russian military. The version without the visor & the visor version for commissioned officers both are described in the decree of September 23, 1811, as quoted by Mark Conrad in his translation of Vicovatov’s Uniforms of Russian Army During the Napoleonic Wars vol 8, part 2:other personnel (wish I could give a page number but can’t figure out how on a Kindle Book).

- I’m not figuring out how to edit the above. The author of the Russian source translated by Mark Conrad is VISKOVATOV. Father V (talk) 00:53, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
United States Navy "Dixie Cup"
editUnited States Navy "Dixie Cup" redirects here. A single picture of the US Navy version exists. For my point of view - The US Navy version should get its own article . That US Navy version is a single woven piece that can be thrown into a washing machine to clean if necessary - it does not deconstruct into several pieces. The other navy's version looks to me as if my statement do not apply to then. Wfoj3 (talk) 00:19, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- I think that you are right. Two different headdresses are covered in the present text: the wide-topped historic sailor hat still worn by many of the world's navies as a full dress item, and the white soft "Dixie Cup" originally adopted by the USN as a working cap and fully replacing the seldom worn semi-rigid version after WWII. Unless there are objections I will at least incorporate the Dixie Cup material into a separate section of the article, with its own sub-heading.Buistr (talk) 03:05, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
