1902 New York Officer’s Undress Hat – Historical Military Style Ceremonial Cap

The 1902 New York Officers’ Undress Hat – Hand-Embroidered Badge Historical Military Ceremonial Cap is a finely crafted replica inspired by the undress headgear worn by New York military officers in the early 20th century. This style of hat formed part of the officer’s undress uniform, intended for non-combat duties, administrative wear, and formal indoor or social occasions.

Introduced around 1902, this undress hat represents a period when U.S. state militias and officer corps adopted more standardized and professional uniform regulations. Influenced by European military fashion of the era, the design emphasized discipline, rank distinction, and elegance while maintaining a refined and understated appearance.

Expertly constructed from premium-quality materials, the hat features a firm, structured crown designed to retain its shape and provide a comfortable fit. The front badge is carefully hand-embroidered, highlighting skilled craftsmanship and adding an authentic ceremonial and historical character to the cap.

This hat is ideal for military collectors, historical reenactors, educational institutions, theatrical productions, museum-style exhibitions, and period-accurate displays. It reflects an important stage in American military history, illustrating the evolution of officer dress standards prior to the First World War.

Minor adjustments to size, fit, or specific badge embroidery can be made upon request at an additional charge, allowing the hat to be tailored to individual preferences while preserving its historical integrity.
