Paul R Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 This is my latest Coast Guard related item. This is an awesome named WW2 Commander's overseas hat with a lot of patrol time at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks George. It still smells heavily of old tobacco smoke and sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army historian Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Paul, if you want to "save" the cap, I suggest you hand wash it with mild liquid dish soap and woolite. Make sure it is rinsed completely. Otherwise it will rot over time. I have washed similar caps in the clothes washer and then dried. But you might want to be more careful.

army historian Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Your welcome, and good luck, it's a nice cap. Take a good picture of the name inside just in case. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
