capmaker

Produces head coverings

A capmaker is someone who makes caps—the close-fitting head coverings without brims, or with only a visor.

The term belongs to an older vocabulary of specialized trades, like hatmaker or shoemaker, and appears mainly in historical contexts or when distinguishing cap production from other millinery.
