Rare RAF Cold Weather Hat (possibly Ventile)

[Neil1]

This hat has never been used. Wool lined, with wool lined ear flaps, peak & size adjuster at the back. A superb bit of kit. It was acquired for me from "stores", but was always too big!! I have never seen one since and probably never will - buy yourself a piece of history. Ideal purchase for the "cold weather crew".

Having done a couple of tests and examining it very closely, I'm 99.9% sure it IS Ventile Cotton...

Its going to be off to ebay at this rate!

I never saw anything like that when I was "in", and its only a few years before.

If I had the spare I'd have it off you - good luck with the sale Neil

It could be Royal Navy I suppose....it came out of the store at St Mawgan, so I'm guessing its RAF. I did see one on Ebay a few years back going for silly money (probably to someone who will never use it - which is why I put it on here).

Headsize ?

 

[Neil1]

Not sure - the label is pictured above. I'll measure my head (which it is too big for) and post it later.

I'll measure my head (which it is too big for) and post it later.

I feel a video of a Devon postbox with Neils head stuck in the slot should be forthcoming!

You lot are so cruel to me!!!
