Description
In 1917 the US government set out a roundel to be used on US Army aircraft. This roundel would be replaced in most instance by a roundel based on European use, only to be reintroduced in 1919, but with different proportions. The center dot on this version is 1/3 of the diameter - on the later version it was reduced to being bound by lines connecting the inner points of the star. Note that the colors specified matched the US flag (Old Glory Red, & Old Glory Blue), unlike the later colors, particularly the blue, which was darker on the later roundels. Dad hats aren't just for dads. This one's got a low profile with an adjustable strap & curved visor. 100% chino cotton twill Green Camo color is 35% chino cotton twill, 65% polyester Unstructured, 6-panel, low-profile 6 embroidered eyelets 3 ⅛" (7.6 cm) crown Adjustable strap with antique buckle Blank product sourced from Vietnam or Bangladesh Aviation Roundel 1917-1918 Embroidered Dad Hat
