COMANCHES BOONIE HAT

The brainchild of designer Hardy Blechman, Maharishi has produced its award-winning pacifist military designs since 1994.  The roots of Maharishi, and offshoot label MHI, lay in Blechman’s former career in the military surplus clothing trade, which inspired Blechman to take the concept of repurposing to a new level.

This reproduction boonie, a standard issue hat for warm tropical conditions, features a custom comanches embroidery by the Maha Tailor Shop and vintage insignia. The Comanches, indigenous Americans known as Lords of the Plains for their warrior skills, were heavily recruited by the US Army in the WW2 and Vietnam eras.

1960’s era U.S. Army cotton sateen twill, reproduced exclusively for Maharishi. Used in AW21 to reproduce the uniforms worn by the U.S. Navy Riverine and helicopter support units, as well as for Eastern utility wear of the Civilian Regular Defence Group.
