TheCrustyBosun Posted October 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 26, 2020 Here’s one of the service caps from my collection. I personally like the khaki cover with green mohair band. This Brooks has had the liner cut out of the cover as well as the “grommet” removed prior to my ownership. The crown stiffener is still present. It was pretty roached out when I got it. After lint rolling the heavy pet fur away, I carefully disassembled it and cautiously hand washed the cover in a mild soap and water solution. Twice. Smells MUCH better now. Then, I hung it to dry and reassembled. The cap came with a cheap repro hat device which I have replaced with the Gemsco you see. The information I have gathered on this style cover, both through printed reference and accounts given by other collectors indicates to me that this is a WWII era cap. There are no markings that indicate it owner and the leather sweat band is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted November 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 4, 2020 Very nice cap! I like color contrasting caps, I have one that is opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
