A 'Hermann Meyer' hat

[TP Alexander]

Any comments will be appreciated. When I got it the chinstrap was backside out...
I can always change it back. Are the chinstrap buckles applied backwards? In other words, did someone in the past take them off and reattach them so that the backside leather was out and the buckles hence in a correct position?
Thanx,
Tim

Awesome. Love it.

Fine Meyer, congratulations.

The unfinished natural leather matches the tropical uniform better than black finished side. IMHO this is why the buckles are correct on the natural side. Be very careful removing and reattaching the chin strap, these are usually quite fragile. Meyers are found with the chin straps facing both ways in period photos and straight from the woodwork.

Very nice HM cap & agree the chinstrap was worn either way as seen in photos.

Nice addition and like John said be careful with the strap. It's worth more than the cap to the right person.

BTW, you have a tank in your kitchen.
