M1889 Campaign Hat refurb project
Here is the crease redone with greater period uniqueness. It does cause the hat to sit higher on your head, and gives the crown a lowering. I like it because it's different, it keeps the hat from being just another cowboy hat. dean -

M1889 Campaign Hat refurb project
Thank you for your responses! I'm in the process of period correct crease re-shaping, a radically tight pinch that takes hot water, so I'll let you know how it comes out. Can't answer the question about all the shrinking and tapering from getting wet back in the day. Looking at the period... -
M1889 Campaign Hat refurb project
Here's my M1899 refurb of a hat from Coon Creek Sutlers that was supposed to be an Indian Wars campaign hat. I posted this in the Campaign Hat Corps thread but decided to give it its own thread, too. Basically I re-ribboned it, took out the cheap sweat and liner, and sewed in some leather close... -

Here's my M1899 refurb of a hat from Coon Creek Sutlers that was supposed to be an Indian Wars campaign hat. Basically I re-ribboned it, took out the cheap sweat and liner, and sewed in some leather close to spec dimensions, added brim stitch, 1" vents, and creased it fore and aft, and trimmed... -

Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps
An old ebay listing had these great shots of an authentic M1889. It's black, and I read somewhere that officers were allowed these dark versions, in addition the hat cord is an officer's. There was a close up of the snowflake vent, but the holes were so tiny they did not show up well, which... -
