Since one of you chose to continue this thread on another site, here is an image from this other site of a silken army field cap of the old style to illustrate the use of silk in cap covers. I had a grey SS cap similar to this in the early 1970s and stupidly sold it. It had come with a white LAH uniform, which I also sold.... This cap at hand is in the possession of a noted California collector, and is an especially interesting piece. Notice that it is a cavalry cap, where the conceit of a silken cap would maintain the traditions of the old regiments and also be a sensible response to the heat of summer, too. My SS cap was more field grey in color, but it was quite silken all the same. Where is it today?
Happy collecting.
I ended up buying the cap when the chance arose.

I agree, this is a Great example of why WRF is the best place to be for people who want to know more about these historical items.
This should be made a sticky, looking at these SS caps makes me want to see one in person more than ever.
Thanks for bumping it to the top FB.
Cheers, Pat
