Remove two forhead thicker threads, lower folded cap part, stitch soutache, fold cap again and restore two forhead thicker threads. IMO these thicker threads are stitched after WW2.

This rbn# (Hans Brandt) cap is one of the several hundred non-soutached sidecaps from the beehive cache that were bought up by a couple enterprising fellows that then had the soutache added postwar over thirty years ago. There are several ways to do this and they can be quite convincing except they always have a date later than Aug '42. (caps dated Aug '42 are another discussion) Jose Figueroa's great booklet on Tropical Headgear, page #45 has another Hans Brandt rbn# sidecap with a purple ? soutache added postwar. Some Clemens Wagner sidecaps dated Oct & Nov '42 were also part of this hoax.
