Item Description
Original Item: One-of-a-kind. WWII U.S. Military items made by the firm of Morry Luxenberg of New York, New York are perhaps one of the most desirable makers of U.S. WWII Uniforms and Insignia. Luxenberg items were revered during the period for their absolute astounding quality and attention to detail. Luxembourg’s customers included many General officers of all branches who preferred the quality items the Luxenberg firm produced during the war. This visor cap, in lightweight khaki cotton light canvas, still has the original maker label clearly on the interior crown, under the celluloid sweat guard, which has yellowed over time:
Luxenberg
MILITARY & CIVILIAN TAILORS
Breeches Makers
NEW YORK
The sweatband is also embossed Luxenberg with their 485 Madison Avenue - New York address. There is no size label, it seems to be about a size 7 or 7 1/8. It features a desirable "wrap around" double chinstrap, which has a rear portion that can be used to make the fit of the cap slightly tighter when desired. The cap is in very good condition, with the main condition issue being the stitching on the sweatband, the majority of which has come undone, but there is enough left to keep the sweatband intact. The cap and leather are still in very good shape though, so this could most likely be easily repaired by a hatter if desired. The leather brim is in great shape, and there are just a few holes in the crown. There is also verdigris on the buttons.
A lovely example, ready to research and display!
