    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Peter, Just a couple of questions for you. Weren't 1876 Campaign Hats black? According to the regulations I found on line, they were. The later models were described as "drab", which I assume was the light brown/tan/beige color many hats have. What is your technique for bending over the...
