        My "indestructible" Tim Bender Federal Issue Hardee - appropriately modified by the elements, of course. A brand new one looks too, um, Pilgrimish. :D

          Re: Your favorite hat

          Ummm... my favorite is my balding pate. I hate wearing a hat. Having spent 23 years in the USAF and reserves building a fine reputation for wearing a hat as little as possible, I wasn't about to mend my evil ways when I began reenacting. I have a hat that I wear when I absolutely must. Notice my avatar -- I'm wearing a hat! Must have been a formal occasion or something. ;-)

                    Hey Curt I have one of those too. [ Posting #41] It is the desert version. I do in fact wear it......you ought to see the strange looks that I get and the most famous question of " Where did you get that hat?"

                      Toss-up. I really like my Clearwater I picked up early this year--coffee-colored farmer beehive that I worked around on with a tea-kettle and got looking the way I like. But at the same time I miss my Joe Blunt kepi.

                        My Hats

                        My Bender Pork Pie is my favorite hat. When placed upon the top of my head with an appropriate amount of "attitude", I feel it compliments me nicely. My wife, on the other hand, who is not a reenactor, nor has any understanding about mid-1800's fashion says it makes me look dumb. What does she know?

                        I also have a Bender uniform hat that I have tried to keep as clean as possible. I was involved with an evening public tour and was writing a letter by candle-light. I wasn't paying attention to my hat until all of the wax had dripped onto it. That was about four years ago, and I still haven't been able to get the wax out. I suppose it has been "aged", but it still frustrates me.

                          Hello All. My favorite hat is a black wool mechanic's cap that I made myself. It is entirely hand sewn. It is comfortable, warm, and really authentic.

                              I own probably 10-15 different hats, but I love my Starbuck kepi in the Arkansas pattern, with the homespun lining and leather sweatband, brown leather bill and flase chin strap with brass coin buttons....sigh...I love my hat.

                                Hi,


                                My favorite hat would have to be my tan Dirty Billy hat (the hat I am wearing in my picture) that I just bought about a month ago. My second favorite would have to be my Dirty Billy Confederate issue kepi, made out of a tan/grey jean, with a oil cloth brim.
