I see now, that is a polished cotton binding, not synthetic, which was just a custom feature used by the private maker. That is not a WD issue Glen. Again, it could date anywhere from WW1 to WW2. A very nice cap!
Leather was not always used on earlier Glens. The older Grosgrain was made from Rayon, which was also used for the ribbon tails. Sometime in the 1960s or 70s, the material changed to Nylon Grosgrain.
