What kind of hat is this guy wearing, and where can I find one to purchase?
Here's another, larger photo (found through this site, so I guess the hat might only be available in Japan ..?). I've searched online and through books on military uniforms without any luck.
Thanks!

Best answer: Here's a reasonable facsimile for sale.

Best answer: The cockade looks wrong, however. I suspect it is a knock-off of a WWI german imperial army field cap, but with the wrong cockade. Alternatively, it could be a Reichswehr-era field cap facsimile.

Best answer: Here and here have reasonably close approximations.
