I couldn't tell from the photo the catalog had. Well, to my eye the felt is too thick, but I would imagine there isn't a whole lot that can be done about that. It's not like we can make felts the proper way any more. Otherwise, it looks like a good repro.

Here is my latest Scout Campaign hat.
It is the 'Scout Association' (U.K.) version. £42 on the website, this is brand new and from ebay £30.
The hat itself, is very similar to my 'Olney'. But, without the vent holes in the crown, but does have a leather lace. No idea who the maker is.


It also comes with this very cheap and very nasty PVC hatband. Which I removed straight away!

Why on earth put this rubbish on it?

Very nice job, quick question where did you get the leather replacement band from? I am thinking of getting one and your band really gives it that extra zing.

My Olney scout hat, made in the UK in Luton, Bedfordshire, I used to live around the corner about 800 yards away about 20 years ago and only just found out they made these!

I brought it from the British Boys Scouts Association http://bbsandbgs.org.uk/ with the help of fellow lounger and Campaign Hat member Steve27752

I need to work on the brim to get it flatter and I am aware of the rubber cobra in my rose bush, the rattler on the path gave the postman a jump :) supposed to keep the fox and cats away.
