I found this brigadiers cap at a nearby military antique store. The owner believes it’s WW2 but the makers label for Hobson&Sons seems wrong. I’ve seen the pith helmets and pillbox hats have cloth Hobson&Sons labels (I’ve attached one) but he is convinced it is WW2 and not post. He thinks they would have had multiple makers labels.

Have you got other photos of the visor? There's other features that will help determine if its a WWII cap or not. Based on the sweatshield material alone I would tend to think its post war as well.
