I love my logwood jean kepi from the Richmond Depot! Very comfortable, cool when it's hot, warm when it's cool!

Re: Your favorite hat

My favorite hat would probably be my black flat top bowler from Tim Bender.I fits great and looks great!

Re: Your favorite hat

I'd have to say my "chick magnet" hat I bought off these very forums made by Tim Bender.

I have a bit of a punkin' head, and not just any hat works, heh. ;)

After ten years of battering it around in the field, my Tim Allen "Frank " style slouch hat gets the nod. I'm also extremely fond of a kepi based upon those issued from the Shreveport Depot given to me by a dear pard. The talented hands of Fenny at The Richmond Depot was responsible for that outstanding piece of work.

Re: Your favorite hat

I have one of the first hats Tim Binder made. Copied off the Original in The Wisconsin Vet's Museum. A Hardee Hat ID to the Iron Brigade. I turned it into a "one story afaire":)

Re: Your favorite hat

Mine would have to be my clearwater plantation hat, it just has a great look to it that words can't explain.

Re: Your favorite hat

My favourite hat is my coffee brown dirty billy's 'special medium' beehive - practical, hardy, love it.

My second favourite hat is a jeanwool kepi I made myself, including its tarred canvas bill. It's not 'cookie cutter' perfect but I'm immensely proud of it because its the first hat I've ever made. :D

Re: Your favorite hat

My favorite hat is my type I forage cap made by M&G, NY. I only wear it on occasion because I want to make it last, but it sure is nice to trot it out now and then.

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 would say I have a new favorite hat. Using Williams pattern I was able to make myself a a wheel cap. It is totally hand sewn, with a checked lining, a painted cloth outside, 2 brass coin buttons. It is a very comfortable and cool looking cap, that I can not wait to use in the field.
