You can definitely get plenty of Mil spec shit, just not what you really expect. My hat is a Swedish army cap worn by some dude named Albert Kempf in Tunisia circa 1991.
Note it probably hasn’t had constant use cause I only got it a couple months ago, before that it was at a surplus store in Idaho falls. Now it is in SoCal, before Idaho though it could’ve been in a crate for all I know.
Thanks for giving me a model name, I don’t speak Swedish so researching it has been somewhat annoying at times. Also I can’t read anything on the label either and translate has been stupid about it.
So I googled the name and first thing that came up was Albert Kempf Mützenfabrik, which means hat factory in German. I don’t think herr Albert personally wore this.

Fair enough, I was thinking more in the direction of electronics, mechanics, etc
I also have a 1960s wire field phone that they would use in Vietnam. I am still trying to figure out how to get it working with an Aux jack.
Is it possible to show the hat? I kinda wanna see that hat and how it looks after such a long period of use.

That looks like a good hat! I’d be happy with that.
It’s solid and has been my main hat since I got it, helps cover my ears a bit too so they don’t get burned. The sun is a deadly laser
That’s a Fältmössa m/59, truly one of the great ones, I still have mine too.

In my defense it may as well all be in the Runic alphabet, can I technically read it sure but can I understand it properly fuck no.
