I've been fortunate to have some truly amazing caps in the past few years, but this one is way beyond. A beautiful piece, complete with named plate for the owner. This is a classic Japanese made cap with Japanese made, hand-stitched patch on the front. Surrounding this are hand-stitched flags of Philippines, Japan, Guam, Okinawa, Taiwan and Korea. Dating to the mid-1950s, this cap would have been worn when Robert Mikesh and the 8th Bomb Squadron flew B-57 Canberras. Caps of this quality come along once-in-a-blue-moon. It's a real collectors piece.
