NEXT Homemodded M1904 Campaign Hat project
Progress. Brim stitching, two rows done, new ribbon and bow, for which I used a lighter 5/8" grosgrain than on the M1889 for variety's sake in addition to historical precendent. Leather 2 1/4" sweatband sewn in. Water shaping in progress. Star vents to be added, along with reinforced chin... -

First stage, round out crown with water treatment. It looks tall, but it is just under 6 inches high. dean -
NEXT Homemodded M1904 Campaign Hat project
The stitching is not that hard, just get a regular sewing machine and practice on an old beater. Getting the fold over on the brim that M1904/5 had is a trick I haven't mastered, so I get those Dorfman wool body fedoras with a three inch folded over brim, and then add stitching over the row... -

Homemodded M1902 Campaign Hat
I've read that officers often sported private purchase versions without brim stitching and a raw edge, sometimes with a edge ribbon like the Open Road. I don't have a lot of hard evidence of the edge ribboned versions, though. I think you're right the crown would be fine. dean -

USAAF& USAF Cap blog
Edward, they were reasonably represented among the air crews. Don't exactly know how to quantify that, but photographic evidence abounds of their use. I love them and their uniqueness, a great cap alternative. dean -

USAAF& USAF Cap blog
A friend of mine at another forum is as interested as I am in caps worn by USAAF and USAF personnel. Thought this crowd might find it an interesting read. He has just started making some for himself, and you might like one yourself! I have a B-1 cap he gave me and I love it. Great for when... -
Decisions, decisions? Do you match your hat to anything?
Never. Nothing goes with a Campaign hat, or everything, so I don't worry about it. I try to avoid wearing it with my A-2 repro jacket...I really don't like the "Oh, here's Indy" stuff. Never have. dean -
Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps
Wonderful pictures, Grizzly! I find the co-existence of montana peaks and fore and aft crease interesting. Honestly, I wonder if some preferred the straight crown crease and had to be compelled by regulations to switch. dean -
