In America, these sailor hats are called "Donald Duck" hats because of their similarity to the one worn by cartoon character.
What are they called in Japanese -- both kanji and translation, please?
and the translation of the information on the cap?
jref does not like the format of the pix so here is link to the website
I think it will take a site in Japanese to tell the Japanese name(and Kanji) for it. I spent 20 minutes on Google and nowhere did it give the Japanese hat name. Even sites with tons of uniform info did not give it.
I was wrong. I guess they are authentic. Here's one from 1944 on auction now currently at Y20,000.
They just call it a sailor's cap (水兵帽).

There are so many times I wish I could read Japanese , LOL. Even after 2 years in Japan , I never took the time to learn Kanji. I guess because of the military base , almost every sign in Fukuoka had English under the Japanese writing. I also learned my speaking ability which I was so proud of was considered horrible slang in Tokyo. A Japanese person in Tokyo asked me if I learned my Japanese from a retarded fisherman , LOL. After arriving back in Maine for a year , I took a Japanese class at night school. I learned fast that even though my vocabulary was large , my quality of speaking was not. After the second class , the teacher explained to me I had a lot to learn and please don't teach any of the other students anything , LOL. Later , when I thought about it , most of the Japanese friends I worked with at the bar were high school dropouts and I should have stuck to books.
