    Ribbon with one coat of tinting. Enough. Looks fine. This hat is going to Rene. (Finding the right box to ship is a trick, believe me.) dean

    I agree!! I just overtinted it! Might give it a light coat. I go back on forth on ribbon color, there was so much variation in them. Really like your non-Shorpy thread, BTW. dean

    Re-Ribboned the M1883 because I wasn't happy with the way it was tinting, rather unevenly, so I went back to the original khaki ribbon color: dean

    I know how I'd re-ribbon that one. The profile of the crown is perfect! (I'd let the front brim curve upward, too!) dean

    Thanks for the warm welcome, all of you! Mike, your hats are beautiful! Doug, I'd love to see those hats someday! I intend to revitalize this thread! The campaign hat, especially pre-1911, is special for many reasons, the history, the uniquely American aspect of it, the look that is not country...

    Better than ever, Rene! Been hanging out with the VLJ crowd more than here, but find myself drawn to re-connect here, hopefully keeping a balanced presence in both forums. BTW, I have a second set of hat vents, so if I can score another good hat for modding, I'll do one for you to add to your...

    Update. Further research into the M1883 Campaign hat indicates that it had blackened brass vents, so using a sharpie marker, I tinted the vents 'black', not wanting the heavy effect of black paint. The effect is wonderful. It also appears that there is no genuine M1883 hat left in existence...

    Bought them on -line from a site called "Fez-o-rama", which sells them to put in fezzes. Had to get a tool to crimp them from Walmart. The M1883 had those size vents. M1889 and later hats either had the punched hole pattern vent or "quarter" sized brass mesh vents. Check the Eureka Arsenal...

    M1883 Campaign Hat from Akubra Snowy River E-Bay find. So It's done. First some shots of what I first purchased: Then, after adding new ribbon, 1/4" brass mesh vents and two rows of stitching to the brim edge, and and a brim trim to a tapered brim, 2 3/4" front and back, 3" on the sides...

    It's been years since I started this thread, but my love for the 19th century campaign hat continues and I hope to post some shots of my latest project, a re-furb of an Akubra Snowy River to Campaign hat status. dean
