I found this piece of headgear in Japan many years ago at a show, and could never figure out why the local collectors paid no attention to it.

 

Brown wool body.

 

The ship tally is a silk woven style and I believe it is from the 1920's when the British Navy visited Japan, or when the Japanese Navy visited the British, could never figure it out exactly.

 

Probably made for a wife / girlfriend or maybe a kid.

 

Always amazed to see pieces like this survive.
