British schoolboys' caps

a lot of you seem to be british, so i figured you might be able to help me. i've been trying to find a store online that sells the basic caps that you see in all the old pictures of english boarding schools. they seem to have fallen out of favor and i can't find any school uniform suppliers that carry them. if anyone can suggest a place that might carry them (esp. without any kind of insignia already on them), i'd really appreciate it. also, do they have a proper name? that might have my search...

Most schools in the UK dispensed with the school cap in the 80's and 90's, so generic caps are difficult to find. This place seems to sell one. If you do a google search on google.co.uk there's a couple of school uniform suppliers who might be able to sort you out (find one at the back of the cupboard or something like that).

Dare one ask why you're trying to lay your hands on such an outdated item?
