| One of the most fundamental pieces of headgear was the dress hat. It was required to be worn by almost all branches. While discarded early by some troops, it is well known to have been adopted by some units as a mark of distinction.
This limited run of hats is of 100% wool fur felt. The sweatband is of crosshatched leather hand stiched to the body of the hat. A trim of black grosgrain is secured to the base of the crown. The inside is adorned with the proper contract label and appropriate size markings. |
