This Cadet Force cap is bound for Barbados. Unusually, it has 1/4 raising on the peak. Our Liverpool manufactured caps travel far and wide! https://t.co/LmZM0ZSULj

@RavWilding @BenWestwoodWMP We were asked to take part in Morning Live but many of our staff are camera shy 😀

@RavWilding @BenWestwoodWMP The custodian is generally the term for the comb top helmet. We have never made these, but we do make the rose top helmet as worn by the Met at our factory in Liverpool

@RavWilding If you’d like any further clarification, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

We’ve not be posting pictures for a while as we’ve been very busy making caps for our police forces! Samples are now being made and this one is our interpretation of an old sample sent in by a customer #marchingband #bandcap #madeinliverpool #makeitbritish

Thought that we’d share a few more photos from Princess Anne’s February visit to our Liverpool factory. HRH tours the cutting room and meets Shaun #makeitbritish @RoyalFamily

Marching season is approaching. Here’s a sample made today in our popular staff shape. #band #marchingband #madeinliverpool

#Fridayfact This American octagonal security cap made us ask why US police have octagonal caps. The 8-point caps were introduced in the early 1930's. The 8 points commemorated the eight-member Rattle Watch, the first officially recognised police force on Manhattan Island.

Made today for The Sultan of Oman. #madeinliverpool

Today was no ordinary Monday, we had the honour of welcoming HRH The Princess Royal to Try & Lilly! Her Royal Highness viewed our headwear manufacturing process from cutting through to finishing @RoyalFamily #madeinliverpool

#ThrowbackThursday Looking through the archive, we found this British Rail cap which was made prior to 1982 by H Berwald & Co. We purchased this company in '82 and re-located from Hanover Street to Kempston Street. Additional space was required to cope with the increased business

[Try & Lilly @tryandlilly]

We've seen an increased requirement for police caps and our cutting room staff have been tackling these today for various UK police forces. #madeinLiverpool #keepShaunbusy

#Fridayfact The #RoyalMarines selection culminates with a 30-mile speed march through Dartmoor moorland. Perhaps this is why a team of 8 serving and former Royal Marines hold the Speed March world record. They completed a marathon while carrying a weight of 40lbs in 04:16:43
