I need this hat!
Toronto » I agree. Look at the details http://www.swtpc.com/mh…
Maybe you could ask this guy to make you one http://www.youtube.com/…
I didn’t realize until now that this item even has a Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org…
Hi, stuff like this is best scanned with a piece of black card / paper behind it – eliminates the print through from the other side.
I love the glowing Life Magazine review.
Also comes in handy for eating guitars.
Oooh boy! I agree with Toronto here. This should make for a great DIY project.
… also found the Life article on the hat. The full quote reads “Two tube set plays fine but looks ridiculous”.
Here, I’ll post a link to the Life magazine article and everyone can enjoy the glowing review!

Thanks for sharing.
Didn’t radiomen in the Indian Army use this thing?
“Regulation waterproof sun helmet”… but are the electronics water proof?
These are great. I cover mine with aluminum foil so that I do not get any government interference. Highly Recommended.
