My Aussie Slouch Hats

[gbalke]

Thought I would share my two Australian made slouch hats. The first, which I bought a couple of week ago is a 1944 dated RAAF version complete with the thong suspended sweat band and 4 side vents.





My second hat, received just yesterday, is a Post War issued hat dated 1952. The puggaree is dated 1955 and has the RAAF flash on the right hand side.
Unlike my RAAF hat, this has only 2 side vents abd the edge of the brim is trimmed.

Nice! You should consider having the wartime hat reblocked!

Two fine examples.

The 44 is a ripper, even with the rising sun in the wrong spot
