These hats were locally procured; the camo cloth was usually salvaged from other uniform items or with the former from a parachute or made up by the tailor. The name is derived from "boonie" the abbreviated form of boondocks (itself originally American military slang derived from Tagalog bundok "mountain" during the Philippine-American War. Made to current U.S. military specs.
