Navy Blue Wool Military Cap with Gold Details

1950s · 1950s · African American

A structured military-style cap with a cylindrical crown and flat top, featuring a black leather-like visor. The navy blue wool felt body displays gold embroidered letters 'FOI' across the front. The cap shows precise tailoring with clean edges and maintains its rigid shape through internal structuring. The visor extends in a gentle curve, providing both functional sun protection and formal military aesthetic. This headpiece represents the disciplined uniform standards of the Nation of Islam's Fruit of Islam organization, combining traditional military cap construction with religious organizational identity through the prominent lettering.
