| Vintage French Indochina War era ‘Le Chapeau de Brousse’. Hat does not have any markings, but was obtained from a US Air Force Advisor's estate who served in Vietnam during the early 1960s. This hat was likely made somewhere in Asia during the 1950s to 1960s. The hat is a small size around 19 1/2" to 20" in circumference. The veteran's family described the item as a "bring back" that obtained after it was left abandon from its prior VC owner. |
