Hello, I can't find much info about these.




The tag is blue and I can barely read anything on it.  I think it has "40% 60%" info similar to the tag in this hat:

That looks modern production.

Certainly not anything close to military-like.

Not even close to old. Modern ''vintage."

Hat is brand new, tag is ''aged.''

At various times in the past, a lot of surplus companies have tried to pass these off as "Official" military items, Walmart carries them as does a host of other cheap shops, they even had them at the Dollar Tree stores around here last summer.

They have nothing to do with any military I have ever seen and I was in the Military a long time.

I'm pretty sure that's a Jones hat. 3 sides are supposed to be folded up, I can even see the crease. It's kind of a traditional water fowl hunting hat.

You hit the tack squarely on the head
