Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

[deanglen]

Just ran across this shot. Looks like they tried to get every possible hat bash into this shot. What riches of campaign hat style of its greatest period!

The early style looks like the Spanish American War style. I do like the WWI style that has a higher crown than the current style.

Love to find a good repro of the WWI style.

Yes, it is time! Join now! Submit your photo and become one of "the few-the very few and the proud (if nothing else)" and show your wide brimmed, "fore and aft" or "montana" peaked "real man" hat. This is headware with distinction! Let the rest of them city slickers in their fat ribboned stingies have their place, the spirit of the frontier and the Rough Riders shall have their hall of honor as well. Don't everyone post at once now. Okay,...anyone? Okay...I'll get the ball rolling....sheesh!

It makes you an officer, Joel, (even though it's an enlisted men's hat.) I love just staring at the photos of your hat. Someday I will own one like it. Someday. Nice to have you aboard, Major!
