2 Obsoleted Hats , Soldiers like to make 2 holes on 2 sides of the hat and tied a cord as for the chin strap . On the right one, orginal wide brim was cutted to be a short brim, i think the reason is most of the soldiers were issued the wide brim hat which blocked the wide eyesight and cause inconventient.

Series 1 DPDU Frillneck Cap, i did some research about this frillneck cap and i found that should have 3 version of series 1 DPDU Frillneck cap, and this one i got should be the earliest version of series 1 dpdu cap famous to be used by operators in 2002-2003. The earliest one frillneck fabric made by jersey fabric which is more comfortable. And as you can see the screen print pattern of series 1 DPDU camo is different with the Issued series 1 DPDU camo pattern, it makes it looks little be weird and i don't know the reason. Which is same with the first DPCU Frillneck cap made in 1999. After this one. the 2nd and 3rd version of series 1 DPDU frillneck cap was used the same silk print pattern with the original.
