If you are looking for a fantastic Australian Military Slouch Hat for your collection, for Halloween or as a gift, this is the one. Vintage Felt Australian Military Slouch Hat very good condition. From my research the hat is most likely Vietnam Era but could be older. The felt is in excellent shape. The military pin is in perfect shape with age patina on the bronze. The outside hatband is in Excellent shape. The inner hatband lining is leather stiff (I don't want to try to turn it inside out to check if there is anything printed on the back of the sweatband). The distinctive Australian slouch hat, called an "Australian bush hat" or "digger hat", has one side of the brim turned up or pinned to the side of the hat with a Rising Sun Badge in order to allow a rifle to be slung over the shoulder.
