Those are some beautiful pieces of headgear. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Vpep.
I like those visors!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Very nice collection of Navy headgear!
Does the winter field cap have a sewn-in label?

Great looking headgear! I really like the dark blue/black cotton caps. Looks like yours was made in March 1942 at Yokosuka Depot.
The other one is particularly interesting, November 1943 at Yokosuka depot, that must be one of the first of those green Class III caps to be made! Almost all are dated 1944-45 and are stamped instead of the nice tag.
Thanks Adachi,would you happen to know when the tags were phased out and the ink stamp started?
Great to have a tag in the green cap as well, they’re usually just found stamped.
