In 35+ years doing this, I have never seen anything like this before...custom made in Buffalo NY, with a pinback Lt bar on one side, and N and Y sew-on gilt letters to the other.  I'm interested if anyone has ever seen anything like this...unnamed, sadly.  But still...with the wear and all...kinda fun!

Great item - nothing I've ever seen before. When I went to school in Buffalo, long ago, Kleinhans was still up and running as an up-scale department store.

That is over the top! (pun intended). Now to find the ever elusive leather campaign hat...

I could see it being worn with the leather jerkin.

Or, leather aviator jacket. 
 

This is the second one of these I have seen. I have never owned one.
