New Soviet Russian USSR Sailor Cap NAVY Visorless Black Hat Cap with Bands Badge A sailor cap is a round, flat visorless hat worn by sailors in many of the world's navies. A tally , an inscribed black silk ribbon, is tied around the base which usually bears the name of a ship or a navy. The cap may be further embellished with a badge , cockade or other accessory. Visorless caps of this kind began to be worn in the mid 19th century.The more rigid type of sailor hat with a wide, flat peak is also known as square rig (this refers generally to a type of sailor uniform ) cap or pork pie (not to be confused with the brimmed pork pie hat).Sailor cap was first introduced in 1811 as a part of the uniform in the Russian Navy (bezkozyrka, ru . безкозырка, non-peaked hat) [citation needed ]. It was a development of the peaked cap in application to marine conditions. U.S. Navy sailors wear a unique white canvas hat with an upright brim, often referred to as a "Dixie cup" in reference to its similarity to the shape of a common disposable drinking cup. This hat was also worn by Polish Navy sailors before 1939—it was called "amerykanka" (not exactly pol . "American hat") or "nejwihetka" (derived from "Navy hat").
