trooper1 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Hey just a question from time past. Years ago we had a head cover, Beret, hat or something in desert tan. Is that something we did as a detachment? I remember the small patches? Just don't remember the cover. and if so? Is that something we would want to do as a uniform kind of cover? Just wondering? 1 Quote
henselmonster Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I think that would be an awesome Idea. Something a bit more uniform. Thats a bit before my time here, but I love the beret patches! Quote
henselmonster Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I think a beret, side cap, or even a custom imperial officer cap would be super cool. Quote
Airborne Trooper Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I'd be down for an officer cap but my days of wearing a beret are over. I've only worn a maroon beret and it is now with all my Army gear for sentimental reasons. Quote
dutchy Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I'm personally a big fan of the WWII american officer garrison cap. I have one with the correct piping( Military Police) as we are the military police of the Empire. Piping is the colour of the rim that can be seen on the edges. 2 Quote

Airborne Trooper Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Need the rounded ones to be era correct. Make a custom MEPD one 1 Quote
henselmonster Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 That could be done! I like the WW2 ideas, after all so many props are from WW2 anyway Quote
dutchy Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I'll take a picture of mine when I get home from work. I've ordered it here: https://www.atthefrontshop.com/PX_WWII_Garrison_Cap_p/ushgcpx.htm Quote
trooper1 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Posted March 15, 2018 That is awesome! Now the question is where can we get them, and are they made in sizes. Quote
trooper1 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Posted March 15, 2018 Lol disregard we posted at same time. Lol Can we get them in the tan? Quote
henselmonster Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I bet we could find a sewing pattern, maybe someone with some sewing skills could make a few in our own custom color? Quote
henselmonster Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Maybe it would be cool to have different divisions for the patches. Like dewback riders, etc.? Similar to this patch Quote
Airborne Trooper Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 That would be too big. That's for shoulder division patch insignia. Quote
trooper1 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Posted March 15, 2018 Yeah too big. On the hat though?? Hmm pattern would be interesting if one could be attained. Yes Quote

Yes https://www.etsy.com/listing/70851040/menswear-1940s-vintage-sewing-pattern Thats just the first one I found, I think there are several out there. Quote
Airborne Trooper Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Maybe an incorporation of the dewback silhouette you have designed for that tshirt a while back? Quote
trooper1 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Posted March 15, 2018 Interesting? I may have to order the download to see. The only issue is figuring size. And material Quote
dutchy Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I promised to show you a picture of mine, well here it is! 2 Quote

dutchy Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Aren't these available anymore then??! @Gordonator, if these aren't available anymore we should definitely do a new run of these!! Quote
Fraulein Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 I rocked a fez earlier this year. We were messing around in a surplus shop that had militaria. It was a waffen fez though. So I could see people getting upset with that buuuut it did look snappy. A Glengarry cap was spiffy as well. Quote
Asher Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Any thoughts on the color of this Garrison hat. I think the cover sounds like a great idea. After looking around I have seen several designs on Garrison caps and similar types have you guys picked one ? Asher Quote
