    Jim,

    I have a question about the piping. Is it genuine metal metallic piping, or is it a synthetic coating that looks metallic with a cloth core and is not cold to the touch? Thanks,

    Richard

      Richard,
      I believe its metallic. I tried to tell if its cold to the touch. Theres so little surface area that my test was inconclusive. Here are 2 detailed pics of the piping. As best I can tell you have metallic leaf? wrapped around individual strands of threads. These metallic threads are then woven into the cloth core.Very complex from what I can tell. I've burned tested the whole thing and its all natural fibers. Maybe a mix of rayon/wool. WR Jim

      PS It looks more silver in the picture.To the naked eye it apppears silver/grey.

          Everyone likes these examples, with the exception of one elder "fool" that just doesn't know any better!!

            Jim,

            Thank you very much for posting the great detailed close up photos of the piping. Yours appears to be an even different type than I have encountered. They may prove very useful in my quest.

            Richard

              Gent's,



              Is it?....Could it be?


              Pay particular attention to the top button hole on the front flaps,the button hole construction,field grey buttons and the insignia. Cut of the hat looks almost identical.

                      Get the salt and pepper out BUT it sure as sh_t looks like the hat to me...Mr/s Mcinnes and Petz are now promoted to the honorary title of "DER SPEISS" in my book..Billbert
                      And yes I still love honor and respect a certain someone from Chicago area whom shall remain nameless.. Not that theres anything wrong with that..........

                          My vote is that it certainly looks like photpgraphic proof has finally been found. Good job Glenn.

                              Very interesting, it does indeed appear to be Very Similar!

                                Even in the old photo, the actual wool material of the cap, to me, appears to be the same. WOW.
