After unification, Canadian Forces Military Police (MPs) wore the same uniforms as other personnel, distinguished only by a few unique accoutrements: a white vinyl cover over the service cap, a gold-coloured police-style badge on the breast pocket, and/or a brassard or armlet bearing the title "MP" or "MILITARY POLICE MILITAIRE".
The Canadian military fur wedge cap, "envelope busby", [citation needed] or colloquially "The Astrakhan" [1] [2] is a uniform hat worn by the Canadian military and RCMP. The outside of the cap is entirely covered in real (e.g. seal skin or Persian lamb) or synthetic fur and is shaped like a wedge. When not being worn the cap folds flat.
In the Canadian Armed Forces, the field service cap (French: calot de campagne) is defined by the Canadian Forces Dress Instructions as a "cloth folding or 'wedge cap'...Originally designed for wear during field operations and training, it may now also be worn as an undress cap with full and undress uniforms."
According to Canadian Forces Dress Instructions, the Monarch or their representative (the Governor General) may wear the uniform and corresponding cap/hat badge of a flag/general officer, with a special flag/general officer sleeve braid embellished with the governor general's badge, and a large embroidered governor general's badge on the shoulder straps or boards, facing forward.

The uniforms for several civilian services in Canada incorporate a peaked cap. The Canadian Coast Guard shares a similar cap and colours with the Royal Canadian Navy. Police forces across Canada also wear a peaked cap as a part of their dress uniforms and/or operational uniforms. Police peaked caps are typically coloured black with colour cap band.
