  • Source For Authentic, Quality Straw Hats?

    Can anyone suggest a maker of authentic, top quality Sam Houston style straw hats for a Confederate civilian impression?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Try south union mills... Not sure of any other straw hat makers out there. Here is the link: http://www.southunionmills.com/testimonials.html

    Hope this helps.

          What about Sunbody Hats?

                Mr. Towsen,
                I am very much afraid that the answer "got an Amish store" is not appropriate for the AC. Straw hats
                worn by Amish men today are not the same as straw hats of the 1860's. If you would like to know some
                of the differences please contact Chris Utley or myself as we both have done extensive research before
                offering the correct type for sale.
