Thanks Mick

Dear all, another couple! Again, I am sorry for the quality of the pictures. First out, a salty Police hat. Not technically a slouchy but still...

Attachment 518049Attachment 518050Next my Digging hat, I would guess a private purchase Akubra with added badge. Used on many expeditions in Latvia over the years.

Hi all you "slouchie" fanatics!! I will just add my one(which most of you will have seen already)to this GREAT thread. It is I am informed an Australian made "transistional" example from 1942,that has been used by the British REME(Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers).It has it's leather chinstrap that is complete and in great supple condition(although I took it off it,s hooks for storage) but the headband was period removed.Looking at some of the crazy prices people seem to be paying for these,i am very pleased that my £15.00 on this one was well spent!! I thank all you "Aussie" chaps who helped me out on this one as it is not my area! Leon.

Ever since I had a box of these.....



I've wanted to own a slouch hat, and thanks to this thread I finally got my backside in gear and bought one.

It's a 1942 dated, a bit of damage to the head band and the unit patch is missing, but other than that it's in good conditon and I love having it...thanks for the push in the right direction.
Steve.
