From the brand: TSPTR Boonie hat in pink / navy tie dyed organic cotton corduroy
Based on an authentic Vietnam era 'stingy brim' boonie hat, ours is redefined in organic cotton corduroy with an organic cotton lining.
Locally made boonie hats were procured by many of the CIA operatives and Special Forces outfits in South East Asia during the Vietnam war. During the early stages of the Vietnam War the US Government placed orders for camouflage uniforms with several South East Asian countries under the CISO and Mutual Defense Assistance Program (MDAP). Tiger Stripe was one such pattern, it quickly became available to US Advisors and personnel, the items varied in coloration and style with mis-matched sets being common. Many of the Special Forces units such as LRRPs and Rangers would have boonie hats made by local tailors to specific patterns. Most opted for what were known as 'stingy' brim hats meaning they had a much shorter brim than the usual issue hats.
Will comfortably fit sizes 58 to 59cm
