Greetings all,
I am trying to learn more about the leather used for sweatbands in Kepis and forage caps. Namely what is the stuff, and where do I buy it?
I performed a forum search here with no results. Tried a Google search with no results. Consulted the Columbia Rifles Compendium and learned the government placed orders for "sheep skin moroccan", a google search of same led to bookbinding sites with astronomical prices.
My Dirty Billy private purchase forage cap has a fine example of the material, so I know what it should be. Just not what to call it or where to find it.
Thank you in advance,
Brian Morse
