Field Modified Late War Naval Officers Cap

Hello all.I have now made the Great leap (For myself anyway…) into the world of "Soft" headgear.I just could not pass it up.Ragged and well worn it is not a pristine example however,It has a great deal of character! to me at least! It did not start its life as an officers cap but apparently this 1943 model cap named to "Moto’oka"
Was a testament to his leadership skills. Military leadership is defined as "The process of influencing others to accomplish the mission by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. Command is the authority a person in the military service lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of his rank and assignment or position." The officers rank stripes were likely added in the field as from what I understand they were not of original manufacture on this type of field cap. In any case they were obviously carefully applied. Although the outcome of his service is unknown,I hope you will enjoy being able to study this example in its"Well worn" state.Regards,Geoff

Jacket N1 USN WW2

Not sure if anyone here has post one of these before (correct me if I’m wrong)? Here’s mine and one of my favorite types of US jacket from WW2. I think these are still on issue today? I used wear a 60’s one back in the 90’s - warm and comfy :)
