Shortened and modified brim of an early gold tiger pattern CISO cut boonie hat made by MILITARIA 1911, released in 2024. Delivered identical to the item pictured. This is a limited edition item produced in limited quantities. Brim size will vary with each piece. It is one-washed. Therefore, it is estimated that you will feel some shrinkage from the time of arrival. Product Use. The fabric will gradually stretch with wear, so the wearability will change.

Reproduction of local modifications as seen among U.S. Army Green Beret soldiers and local CIDG soldiers during the 1960s. The boonie hat also serves as a rain hat in the jungle, but in the dense jungle, short brim lengths were sometimes preferred due to visibility problems. In most cases, factory-made boonie hats had a 6.5cm brim, but soldiers could shorten the brim or add additional parts according to their own preferences.

This time, we reproduced the modifications made at that time based on the boonie hats currently on sale at our store. We removed the edge of the factory-made brim, cut off the brim itself, and reattached the edge by sewing it back on with a retro-fashioned look. Therefore, the finish is rougher than the boonie hats already on sale.

Please enjoy the modified version of the boonie hat favored by soldiers of the time.

Brim size: 4.5cm

One-washed.

Size: M

When trimming the brim, it is cut out incorrectly instead of in a regular circle. Therefore, all widths are not the same length and are not even. Please note that this is a product specification and does not constitute a product defect.

We do not accept returns due to one-of-a-kind modifications.

Like other products already on the market, this one will shrink after washing and passing through water. Please take into consideration that this will also affect the size of the brim.
