Another Slouch Hat, any ideas?

[CampX]

I picked this along with lots of other Military items from an old collection, they had this and said it was military, the makers mark states that the company is a Military Outfitter, but I have never seen one like this. Any Ideas?

British made but unusual to see it with poppers on both sides. There are quite a few variations to the British made examples and I don't think much study has been devoted to them as yet.

Not certain, but this link might help. Circa WWI I would assume but not sure. Are the poppers maker marked?

Here is a 1917 dated example, by the same maker of the lemon sqeezer type.

That's an interesting slouch. The holes around the crown are different to the norm as well as the twin poppers.
