Description
Three caps a,b,c,:(a) one red cotton cap with a sun visor, roll-down cover for ears and neck and a quilted pink faux satin interior lining; the ear and neck extension is lined with beige flannel and a knitted rim to keep it secure; hand printed in indelible black ink on the faux satin lining (Ken Jones’s monogram) “K” first and then “J” joined to the top of the K, but higher than the K; this monogram is repeated (one right side up, one reversed) on each side of the seam on the flannel ear extension.

The inside did have foam lining but it is disintegrating, mostly gone, and only a remnant of the Ken Jones’s moniker is left. There is circular machine-embroidered patch sewn on the front; it is beige canvas, green-rimmed, three individual orange lines forming an almost circle, at the bottom with the words ‘MOUNTAIN GUIDE”, white on a black background. Overlapping everything is black ski crossed by a black ice pick, and over that, a stylized green maple leaf with the letters “ACMG” in white.
