Default Artist's Rifles Slouch Hat
Good day folks

This hat is for sale in a local auction house. Is it just a fantasy or a a recognised form of headdress. I have asked for some more photos.

Many thanks

James

They saw service in the 2nd Boer war and from the pics it appears to be of the type from that period.

Slouch hats continued in wear for much of the Edwardian period after the Boer war ended.

I wonder where the version with the pointed down turned scroll ends belongs in the grand scope of things? It comes with loops and a shank so must be c.1905.
