Default Gloucestershire Regiment Slouch hat 1944.

Another gem from the loft that keeps on giving, "Original ww2 1944 dated Burma Gloucestershire regt British slouch jungle hat".

Well the liner is certainly not original to the hat. Leather sweat bands were sewn directly on to the hat and not on to canvas loops, then sewn to the hat.

The leather sweatband appears to have been added to a later slouch hat and recent sewing machine stitches are clearly visible in the photograph.

Best to steer clear of this one.
