Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

[CoveredPate]

Ahhhh, good times. It's good to know that nothing has changed since I graduated from the "Island" 31 years ago. Interestingly, I'm Facebook buddies with my old Drill Instructor. Sergeant Major Kinsley still wears the DI Cover at the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, TX where he is Commandant of Cadets. My old roomate, Mike Barrett, was a Drill Instructor and is now the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Ooooh Rah! So if anyone has questions about the "Smokey" cover, I'm sure I can get an accurate answer for us.

For a very close match to the NPS hat band.

Bump!

Any more montana peak type hats out there?

Harry.

 

[David Conwill]

I just saw a pile of them in the Salt Lake City Visitor's Center - all modern DI-type; and what appeared to be a genuine vintage fur felt on a mannequin dressed up as a NPS Ranger.

SOurce for a 1898 campaign cover?

Im looking for a span am war era 1898 hat

one of these pre 1911 hats

Can it be a repro?

 

[0311Marine]

Sure, I really dont have many originals in my collection.
I dont mind if its an 1889 model.

I actually just found Eureka Arsenal's repro of that same model for $85.
Does anyone have pictures of 1889 hat?

1930s Stetson No.1 Quality campaign hat

 

[Cicero]

In one word, AWESOME hat!!!!

Alan,
That is one pristine example of that style of hat! To bad you don't have any provenance of it. For me, I would not get one, to many negative memories associated with the style.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks!... hope to do some cool weather hiking with it.

1916 Ad for KNOX Campaign Hats from "The American Hatter"

From this photo in the ad, it looks like your hat's cord are the same which would make it an Army campaign hat and not one from the Marine Corps

 

[alanfgag]

It is very similar and a later vintage to the hat in this ad. Perhaps army, or civilian conservation corps?

Got this from the 'bay, made by River Junction. 3 1/4" brim & 5 1/2" crown as creased, side vents, brim stitching & free extra hatband.

How you gonna handle all that brim?

Hi

I just updated my pictures of my Jaxonbilt Campaign Hat in the Jaxonbilt thread. Since "nobody" used my internet provider's data storage service, they deleted it. I added a stampede string, braided leather double loop job that aren't in the picture. It works great.

Later

No question, it is a good 1/4" past my comfort range... [huh]

 

[Cicero]

I just won this hat and looking for more info.
I think it's a private purchase, pre ww2!?
Anyway, info highly welcome.
