Default Australian slouch hat. 2nd cavalry regiment
Another slouch to my collection! From RAAC, a 2nd cavalry regiment hat! It has not the emú plumes, but I read that the plumes were introduced in 1996, and this hat is dated in 1991. Hope you like it!

You need plumes for it. I'm pretty sure all the RAAC regiments started to wear slouch hats with plumes from mid 1992.
