Scarce WWI Antique US Soldier's Wool "DOUGHBOY" Army Campaign Hat, Complete with Original Hat Cord
DESCRIPTION: Scans show it all in detail. Nice khaki wool. Flat brim with top, like "yogi-bear" or "Boy Scout" design. Nice 1 3/4" wide brown leather sweat band, which is still pliable. Stitching is solid. No size tag, but head opening measures roughly 6 1/4 x 7 1/2".
Complete with everything, including the outer cloth band & bow. Also the thin leather headstrap (with buckle) to hold it on your head in windy days. Finally, also has a great original hat cord with acorn knots. Also has the 4 original air hole vents in the crown. Even the stitching in the brim along NICE TO FIND ONE SO COMPLETE & ORIGINAL!!
In overall very good condition for such an early cloth item. A LITTLE, VERY FINE moth peppering on the surface (no actual holes). Not that much, however, considering the age.
Has a great look and would be a great part of a WWI collection. To complete a uniform display or for a variety of collections. A very unusual item used by an actual WWI doughboy.
