Source For Authentic, Quality Straw Hats?

[irishrifles]

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.

Ezra Barnhouse used to have some. You could check with her maybe.

What about Sunbody Hats?

Mr. Davis, it's been a while since you've posted here, but the basic rules are still the same. You must sign your name to your posts. - Silas Tackitt, one of the moderators

Got an Amish store close to where you live?

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.
