vintageproductions Posted March 27, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2018 Okay, what is this? There are no markings. It perfectly reverses from Chocolate Chip to Woodland. Is it experimental? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted March 27, 2018 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2018 I am tempted to say it is a private purchase item. But then again, we just had a USMC BDU that was posted that was reversible to a three tone desert pattern. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/307641-my-new-camouflage-findexperimental-usmc-reversible-woodlanddesert-camo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milsurp_scout_14 Posted April 12, 2018 Share #6 Posted April 12, 2018 Found this one at a swapmeet last month. It appears to have seen use with someone. Insignia sewn on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milsurp_scout_14 Posted April 12, 2018 Share #8 Posted April 12, 2018 The big flap. Seems to have that random brown thread running through all of it, even though that's not where it's sewn to the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw as well as wore myself various headgear that was unlike the OG/BDU caps that were issued. At Ft Hood, at that time there were a variety of surplus stores selling all sort of ballcaps. Then in Germany, many of us purchased "Graf caps", which was a real thing. It pretty much described any cap that wasn't issue. I had and gave it to a buddy before I left. The most comfortable cloth BDU cap, in retrospect, wish I'd of kept it. I gave it to a buddy of mine, Chuck Hoke. He thought it would be funny to see the 1st Sgts look on his face if that cap returned to formation after I left. What made it stand out was its over long bill. I stupidly wonder if he kept it or passed it on to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
