      After posting the 1900 serge tunic, I thought I'd show off some slouch hats from the era. First up is a nice 1901 dated hat that is really interesting as it is asymmetric (longer in the back) and has a nice venting pattern on the top. The hat came to me unbadged, so I added a real IY rosette.

      I believe the rosette is the general issue for all Imperial Yeomanry units in the 2nd Boer War. If anybody has any further details, I would be grateful to hear them. The slouch hat is dated 1901 on the sweatband by the way.

      Here is a crop of the inside tag dated 1900.

      A closeup of the tunic (with accoutrements), you can see the darker khaki serge material here. The buttons are all Queen Victoria crowned.

      I know I am about a year or more late on replying here, but I thought instead of creating a new thread that I would append to this one. Here is the pattern 1900 serge tunic in my possession on display. The tunic still has its paper tag inside indicating its 1900 date and appears unissued. Compared to William's example, this one is a much darker khaki -- partially because it wasn't issued, I suspect. Lee
