Inspiration
Advertisements in the Virginia Gazette indicate colonial merchants and milliners offered a "large and fashionable assortment" of caps, hats and bonnets for sale in their shops. Women's heads were nearly always covered, indoors and out. The mob cap was popular for decades and despite a name that implies that the style was worn by the masses of common people, the cap was adopted by upper-class ladies as well.
