Brass bands could be, but I have never seen them in this quality.
They generaly are made of cheap materials and badly finished from the inside. But is is possible...
I know I may sound unthankfull for all the help, but the cap keeps on troubling me.
Here is what a brass band cap would look like; much cheapper materials, no inner liner and so on.
The Worcestershire Regt. was never a "Royal" regiment, so it never would have worn the scarlet cap band as did those regiments & corps so named.

Thanks BobS!
That means the search continue in a other direction.

Kris, whatever else it is, there is no official connection between the cap and the badge, probably been done by a visitor to the memorials in Belgian, a vet who wanted to wear something to show he had served and probably picked the cap up locally whilst there on a visit.
You are probably better off asking among Belgian collectors as to the origin of the cap as no British soldier would be allowed to wear this whilst still a member of the armed forces.

Whatever its just an opinion.
Hey Jerry,
quiet clear now, thanks.
I got several cap's of the same maker, that is why I am holding on to it.
Very curious to see what it is going to turn out to be , .... one day! ;-)
cheers
