This image was posted today on facebook by Military Images magazine. This soldier is wearing an infantry's winter coat and the regulation dress Hardee Hat.

Pretty cool photo!! :cool:
 
My comment on the Hardee had means nothing, really. But I'll say it anyway. I think the wide brim makes a lot of sense. But that high crown was ridiculous. I guess it was a sort of fashion statement of the era. It sure doesn't work for me.
