Erick; I wonder if engineer cap preference is geographical?? Engineers like Polecat McMillan, Mark Hafeli, and others and most of the men in the shops here almost universally wore
Kromer caps. But if you'll notice almost any time
an artist or cartoonist draws a picture of an
engineer he shows him wearing the pleated cap
that is more or less flat on top.
I haven't bought a cap for sometime and I am not
suprised to hear that the Kromer has been changed.
Before I retired we started wearing hard hats and
that was so universal that I wondered if maybe
OSHA had put them out of business.
