The ugliest cap contest winner is...

[bombs away]

Hello,

Still for sale for a few hours on ebay :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WW2-US-ARMY-AIR ... 416729d2eb

May be the ugliest cap I've ever seen.
The seller believes it's original as the starting price is $800.
It might be original but without any provenance or original picture, who would spend so much ?

Any taker for creating a new kind of repro ? :mrgreen:

Cheers,
Tim

I like it; however, it must be hot as the devil. Wonder if they used an old jacket to make it? Field made? maybe but looks too new

That must be from the Village People USO show.

I also like the concept, but the crown section does seem rather well-preserved for its presumed age. That said, I can totally picture such a cap being worn in the colder climates. With a fur-collared jacket and headset the aviator would probably be very comfortable--and stylish, too.

That is exactly my thoughts!
