Capmaking

/ˈkæpˌmeɪkɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The craft, process, or industry of manufacturing caps and head coverings.

Etymology

Gerund form of capmaker, combining 'cap' and 'making' (from Old English 'macian', to construct or build).

Kelly Says

Capmaking was a surprisingly complex trade requiring knowledge of felt-making, blocking, and stiffening techniques—it wasn't just plopping fabric on a head.
