Author	Topic: Help identifying astronaut's blue cloth cap
Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 49548 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 11-03-2022 01:29 PM Does anyone recognize this blue cloth cap? It comes from an astronaut's collection and could be associated with the Apollo, Skylab or space shuttle programs. I was thinking it might be a comfort cap for under a helmet or possibly a clean room cap, but have not found any photos to match.

Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 49548 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 11-03-2022 06:05 PM Thanks! I was able to use that info to find some photos online of other pilot skull caps that were a close match.
