Looks like I found the answer to my own question from this link maintained by the Australian Army dealing with their official military slouch hat: http://www.army.gov.au/Our-history/Traditions/The-Slouch-Hat The left side brim was apparently turned up to facilitate rifle drill movements... -

If I can tag on a supplementary question, with apologies to Roving_Bohemian, why do these military hats have the left-side brim up-turned? -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Hi hatophile, is this a Victor make (e.g. Victor Hatco) or a Victor model (e.g. Borsalino Victor)? It's certainly a great item, I'd expect no less from any hat with Victor in its name, regards...viclip (PS ~ it's a secret what the 1st three letters of my handle might be a contraction of) -

Thx for your input. Being Canadian I had to have a Beaver brand hat after hearing they'd gone out of business. After all, the beaver is our national animal. Wasn't sure about how durable the hats were, but had to have one, best... -
Makins Hats/Stitch Hats Father's Day Sample Sale In NYC
I took delivery of a Makin in January. It cost over 2 bills. I know what you mean about the ribbon material. It didn't help that my hat arrived with half the ribbon separated from the crown ~ Makins used adhesive instead of stitches to affix the ribbon. I wound up removing both blobs of... -

My Blue Heaven
Thx for your kind words, splintercellsz. These Biltmore Rosellinis really are awesome hats when seen "in the flesh". Regrettably my low end camera failed to accurately reproduce the actual deep blue coloration, & it seems to have somewhat squished the image in the horizontal plane. If I can... -

ditto for your new Panama in your other post, the center blue ring in the ribbon really sets it apart! -

Small Cache of Beaver Brand Hats FOUND
Ditto the Kangaroo 7-5/8 for me, if gtdean48 doesn't take it. I've already got too many black hats, being the only other 7-5/8 shown. Pity there aren't any 7-3/4's for me to pick up & pad to fit my intermediate sized noggin. -
Small Cache of Beaver Brand Hats FOUND
I too am interested in 7-5/8 but wide ribbon (dress hat). Having said that, I wouldn't mind picking up a nice Open Road for casual wear. I can make 7-3/4 work as well with a bit of padding.
