I know I'm a nerd, but the pointy crown and side seam of the Buzz watch cap always bugged me. For comparison, below is a Buzz and a couple of originals. BTW, most sailors wore them folded over so the name/rate tag was on the inside (last pic). I don't own one, but would be curious to see what the MASH watch cap looks like.
Usually screen printing's water colors are rubber-like and thick on cotton fabbrics, I can imagine on wool.Never seen originals stencilled and I can imagine it is hard to do on wool. BR use a kinda „rubber-like“ paint ...
Leave it plain - it is simply more period correct
I have a Bronson and a current issue I bought from fleebay. I prefer the latter. The Bronson is "hard folded" not sure how to say this. So if you want to change where it folds back, you can't because the original fold will remain there. Whereas with the current cap you can fold it to your heart's content.
