Isaac, what if any correlation do you see with the Scots or Scotch bonnet, and the peaked 'clerk's cap' or wheel cap, which was all the rage from the 1810s onward? When did the peak or bill become common on the bonnet? A Scots bonnet with a peak looks just like a cerk's cap, but with a diced band. Did one grow or evolve from the other, or were they contemporary, and what influence did they have on each other?

I think they were specifically separate items (bonnet and wheel cap), but eventually the bill is added to the bonnet to make a sort of hybrid. I am not sure when this occurred but I would assume 1820s or later. I have not seen many early images of bonnets with bills, even (especially) in Scotland. Isaac |
