[StartQuote] They also don't show the inside of the hat around the rim, which you can't see the basket weave type filler, typical of some of the WWII Caps. I know that when I received the same uniform from Lt. Leighton Wood, XO and Skipper of PT-124, he had two of them. The one I have is from WWII, but he had one later after the war. He bought them for use in Parades or other venues he would attend. Like Charlie pointed out, the later Visor cap Mr. Wood had, was pure white, never really used, and the black visor was larger than the one I have from his WWII days. Funny, now that I think of it, his WWII cap has his name written inside with his address, yet the later one he bought his name is typed inside. It is possible that this uniform was a later one purchased by Kennedy after the war, for what purpose I am not sure. To me it still seems odd, and already we know it is not from WWII.....................Maybe Will Day will buy it for me. [EndQuote]
