Here's a suitably esoteric question for this group. Night caps. As in,
"Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap
had just settled down for a long winter's nap"
When were they worn? What were they made of ? How were they contructed?
How did they stay on?
-----------------
My dad stills wears them and my mom makes them for him out of flannel. Last
time they visited he left one behind. This one is cut on the fold and it
looks a bit like a quarter circle pie shaped piece, except it is a bit flat
on top and still sloping outward slightly at the bottom. There is one flat
felled seam and a hem of about an inch and a half. It's a bit loose when he
wears it and near as I knew he just puts it on and it stays on.
