Update to my previous concern about hat cords, I've been looking at tons of reference images of the late 1890s and it turns out, most campaign hats were worn without. So I think I'll be doing the same, at least until I feel like changing up my style a bit.
Wore my Army Stetson for Memorial Day. 5x, which I tell people is "military grade" cardboard, although that's unfair. My original hat had actually survived years of faithful service before being gifted to my replacement, and this new one seems just as tough.
I think the crown will stay as-is in...
Well, according to the sweatband it's a 4x Beaver. Does that help anyone with a more accurate date or value? Sticker picture also included. I just bought this thing to wear and I hope I didn't accidentally pick up anything (super) collectible because I tend to sweat through my clothes often here...
I recently picked up an affordable black Open Road 4x with a holographic sticker and assumed it was basically current production. Are you telling me this version is already discontinued?
Just ordered a Spanish American War campaign hat from Dirty Bill's and can't wait for it to arrive in a few weeks. Unlike my Stetson, which has a chinstrap to hold down the acorns and hat cords, how does one keep hat cords on a campaign hat without a chinstrap?
