Going by the size of that dome it's you alright…

@Megatron1505:

Unfortunately not, drawback of having a child photographer. I'm pretty sure that it fits like its meant to, definitely my size, just not sure that it's me  :-\

Gav yes its meant to fit like that as the guys layered their clothes under it back then in their situation. Great jacket, from which year is it?

I think it looks good on you Gav. Never been a fan of elastic around the opening though

Thanks guys (fuck you Seul), not sure which year David to be honest, it has no identifying labels or markings at all apart from a shoulder patch of the 13th Airbourne.

Gav this one right?

[Megatron1505]

My mistake, it's actually the 513th Parachute Infantry Regiment.

I have a few 101J's.  This is my fave.  I'm guessing it hails from 1981…..

Hi Davito, I can't answer for the history of this cap specifically but this is a great little resource for watch caps in general,

P.S. The cap featured with "BULRICE T" is also in my collection
