Good looking cap Carlo!

The three strand slider and knot are new to me.
I heve seen plenty of four and five strand but never a three strand before...
Just an observation....
Nice looking cap...

Steve.

Hi Carlo, the cap is right as rain and I have been proven wrong on the reverse twist cord. As long as the slider is not plastic I think you are ok. I just looked close at the cord. It is fine. It looks to be a cello cord and they were not made post war.

Textbook early-war Pekuro--my fave. I am always amazed at how many retailers sold Pekuros under there own logo, unlike Erel. (I see another thread in the making....)

[NTZ]

Stonemint I may be wrong but it always has been my understanding that these type visors are not Pekuro’s nor are they Pekuro distributors. They are regular makers that just licensed Peter Kuppers “Stirndruckfrei” sweatband system. I may be wrong but that in it self could be a good thread. I just think the interest would be limited to about three or four of us.

Nick, I agree--you, me, Bob, and Stubaf!--the ones I have seen all look to have been made by Pekuro with the standard characteristics--"ribbed" lining, same stiffener, etc--Solo, can you post a shot of the lining in the rear of the cap?

[solo]

Yes Nick the knot seems to be cardboard covered of cello.
So you say this cap made under licenze of Pekuro due the shape and way to make,so "Haas" is a cap factory.
Stonemint here a pic of the rear lining

Interesting--Nick's theory was correct--this lacks the "ribbing" which I find on every Pekuro-made visor--so "Hut Haas" can join the list of manufacturers--nice hat, Solo!

[solo]

Thanks to all for the compliments

Stonemint,what do you mean for "ribbing"?
Can you explain me?
Thanks

Carlo

[stonemint]

Solo--it is the ribbing in the lining that extends to the back of the cap. Most hats have an overlapping, pleated lining, while Pekuros are ribbed--see this:

Now that is a distributor Pekuro.

Nick,
You most certainly are wrong........
Please go ahead and start a "Stirndruckfrie" sweatband system thread.
I can assure you it would be of great interest to all of us that frequent this section of the forum, not just a few.........
Some of us may have modest collections but that does not mean we are not eager to learn.....

All the best,
Steve.
