Oh crap.....I would have liked that....how deep were the pockets needed?Was watching this "hat" pin, but didn't want to pay $10 handling on top of shipping, so let it go.
Possibly GAR related?

Me too!I understand but would gladly have paid that anyway.....even with those crap shipping charges.
That would undoubtedly been for a GAR event......really cool!
Darn.....
3" to 3 1/4" is my preferred brim width, similar to my preference for broad-pinched fedora-like crowns (the classical rancher creases with wide brims don't suit me well). The brim trimming and addition of broad hatbands in some of my hats has also been a necessity, to cover moth damage and damaged brim edges (my refurbished hats are often beaters, requiring cleaning, naphta bathing, trimming, etc, yet I strive to keep original sweatbands and liners).Just out of vulgar curiosity, why did you cut the brims?

Me too!
It’s a slouch hat pin from the 34th Annual National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic held on August 26-30, 1900 in Chicago, IL. Worth a minimum of $500. Damn is right!
