Hello all,
I normally do not post, but my husband and I need some advice regarding hats. Last year, he purchased a beaver skin hat from Dirty Billy in Gettysburg. We've taken impeccable care of it, but on the last day of the GAC Gettysburg event, it rained quite hard, and his had hasn't been the same sense. We dried it out properly, used the insert Dirty Billy sells to keep your hat from shrinking, etc. But, the hat band is completely ruined. Parts of the leather have torn off, and are sticking out in all directions. We have attempted to call his store multiple times over a 2 week period, to see about shipping it to him for repair, but alas, he won't give us the time of day.
My husband's impression is one of the Orphan Brigade, specifically the 5th KY. He is also a 2nd sergeant in our unit, so his impression has progressed with his rank. Unfortunately, kepis, just don't work on his head. We are looking for something similar to his previous hat, but with more quality. Does anyone have an suggestions for reputable hat merchants?
Thanks in advance,
Kristen Mosley
