Capmaker

/ˈkæpˌmeɪkər/ noun

Definition

A person or factory that manufactures caps, hats, or head coverings.

Etymology

Compound of 'cap' (a head covering, from Old English 'cæppe') and 'maker' (one who makes, from Old English 'macian').

Kelly Says

In medieval and Renaissance towns, capmakers were respected guild members with strict apprenticeship rules—they were making the status symbols of their era, not just hats.
