What style of cap is this?

Has knit ear flaps with button closures. Corduroy lines the underside of the bill. The only tag is a United Hatters, Cap, and Millinery Union label. Thanks!

Hats not my strong suit, but it seems to be a variation of an engineer cap, with flaps.
Nice photos!

omg, that's a really cool (warm!!) hat, Adam!!

we always refer to hats with ear flaps on them as Elmer Fudd caps....but i don't think its a very technical term....

i do know that my dad (a farmer) had a couple that he would wear in the winter when it was really cold out...he never had a fancy one with corduroy; his were usually flannel lined, for warmth.

Interesting styling to this cap. Can't say that I have the proper term for it...hopefully some of our other members will know.

It appears to be a hunting style hat but I am getting an aviation vibe from it.

Elmer Fudd! That has to be it. ;)

I would call it a simple style/ plain trapper hat.

That's it, trapper!

Haahaha! Thanks everyone! I thought some sort of "train" theme at first, but can't find anything in that category matching it. I guess trapper hat it is!

I just started venturing into the vintage hat category, and Lo And Behold on one of my first missions I found a 1950s Dobbs of NY fedora! Spent some time cleaning it up with vinegar this afternoon (read that Naphta can cause some people to break out). While it was damp I was able to re-shape it just a bit so that it looks close to original. The feathers were in bad shape so I went to a fly fishing shop and got some new feathers that matched the old ones (mostly guinea) and....man....it looks great! Totally transformed the hat in just a couple hours!
