Hi all - I haven't posted in quite a while, but wanted to share this cap. It's a nearly mint infantry officer's cap by Breiter of Munchen, they are one of the few TR cap makers still in business today. http://www.hutbreiter.de/
The cap body is a somewhat uncommon material - its a tightly woven twill. Not quite as fine as italian gabardine, and the weaves are a bit more narrow than the usual gabardine woven caps we typically see. Based on the shape (the extremely high peak and pronounced saddle shape) this is clearly a mid war example - perhaps c. 1942-1943?
If anyone else has examples of Breiter caps, lets see them!
