Lounger: a person who will attend a film simply to enjoy the hats...and the caps, if any, and the costumes....and possibly the actors. We are a special breed. I will see this film for the hats alone...but on DVD.;)

The red 25th is the best I can do based on the pictures I have in a book and some references to the patch...
Pat,
I've been into baseball style caps for while now, I know this causes cringes and catcalls in here, albeit I wear only "vintage" reproductions or actual military variants I find in e-bay, and I'd say you're right about the dye and material being the cause of the problem. This leads me to...
