A lovely slouch hat made with a locally-printed duck hunter pattern. It has a typical construction with a wide brim and depressed crown. It features two large mesh eyelets on either side for ventilation, a chinstrap, and a vinyl sweatband. On the front are two locally-made ‘beer-can’ DIs that pertain to the US Pacific Air Forces and the Republic of Vietnam Air Force (Không lực Việt Nam Cộng hòa).
It displays light signs of real wear. There is a break in the fabric on the crown, showing a thick hessian cloth underneath (about 1-2cm)
Circa 1960s
Approx size 7 (EU 56)
