Mine is a Tim Bender light tan bowler. Color is good for staying cool, and the style works well for any Confederate impression.

Re: Your favorite hat
Mine is a very beat up Stiles forage cap.Next in line a coveted Joe Covais.Oh there are more but the sightof that cap brings warm memories and helps to diminish whatever little " speedbump" I've experienced that day, BudBud Scully 13th NJ Co.K Mess and 69th NY (N-SSA) -
Re: Your favorite hat
My Tim Bender Lt. Brewster hat, worn it to nearly 60 events and it still looks new. Followed closely by my Don Smith Type I USSS cap made from custom dyed English import broadcloth. It's amazing how attached to these things one becomes. I doubt I would ever sell either of them!

Re: Your favorite hat
my black telescoping crown Tim Bender (his website says he only makes like, 6 a year :) ) is definately my best made, and offers the best rain and sun protection-Ty "Tic-Tac" Gladden

Re: Your favorite hat
My Bender Hardee, with the crown rolled down onto itself and then reversed to present a flat top. A telescope crown similar to the one in EoG. My favorite still, after all these years.John Grimes

Re: Your favorite hat
Favorite would be my NJ ************ forage cap, bought it for $75 from the Jersey Skillet Licker at Boonsboro, Maryland back in 2003. Just wore it at Mill Springs and it looks like the day I got it. 2nd favorite would my Dirty Billy's beehive farmer.Last edited by Craig L Barry; 10-10-2007, 06:38 PM.Craig L Barry
