HATS & HEADGEAR

Wool by the Yard



All hat sizes are approximate. There are slight variations from one hat to the next. It may be necessary for you to take your hat to a local hat shop for sizing in order to obtain that "just right" fit.
Any hat shop can easily size your hat up or down a full size.



HAT STRETCHER



  A must for anyone who owns a good quality hat or kepi. This might be the smartest $19.95 you will spend all day. Just slip this hat stretcher into your hat anytime it's not going to be in use for a while and gently tighten it until it holds itself in place. It will keep your favorite hat's size perfect and protect it from becoming "dented" while in storage. Think of it as an insurance policy for your hat.
  You know that after a weekend of braving the elements (Shiloh) that hat will shrink a bit if left on it's own. Nothing will prevent that better than one of these stretchers.
  Did you ever buy a hat right after having a hair cut? It fit perfectly the day that you bought it but a few weeks later it's feels a little tight. Just put one of these stretchers in it and tighten it a little extra. In just a day or two that uncomfortable hat will fit perfectly.

"PALMETTO WEAVE" STRAW HAT



  I could not believe my luck! I've been looking for someone who could make this hat for 25 years. Then just the other day I mentioned it to one of my hat makers. She tells me, "Oh my niece can do those". 500 yards from where I was sitting there was a lady who made the finest example of this hat I have ever seen. Who knew?!
  This fine straw hat is made from wheat straw but for lack of a better term I have always called this style a "palmetto weave" as I have always found them in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. I've seen original photos of soldiers both north and south wearing this style of straw hat. It is much stronger than your typical straw hat and will last longer and endure much more abuse also. Not to mention that they look great.
  As with all of our straw hats they are hand woven from local material and sewn on a treadle sewing machine. Time consuming? Yes, Worth it? You bet!
  There is some "give and take" to these hat sizes. May we suggest you purchase one of our $20. hat stretchers. If you're a hat guy it's the best $20. you'll ever spend. You can customize every hat you own to your exact size.

"FINISHED" A.O.T.



  Your responce to our AOT hat has been overwhelming with many of you requesting a "finished" model. Well believe it or not we do sometimes listen. So here it is, an AOT style hat that is completely trimmed out with inner head band, outer hat band, as well as a sewn black taped edge. Not bad if I do say so myself. Available in black only but you can have it with or without the hat band buckle. The buckle gives it the look of an older style, so if you are portraying Mountain man, Mex. war etc. the buckle might be the way to go. If you do not request otherwise the hat you recieve will have the buckle.

ARMY OF TENNESSEE HAT



  Photo after photo, cdv, dag or tintype. How many times have you seen this hat or a variation of this hat on a soldier belonging to the Army of Tennessee? Hundreds possibly? The brim turned up, down or drooping like an old umbrella from years of hard fought campaigns.
  There's good reason you see this hat so often. It's a very old style, even before the civil war. A standard, tough old hat, not too expensive that provides good coverage and years of use. That's the sort of thing a working man looks for in a hat.
  The crown is formed and the edge trimmed evenly. The crown stands 4 1/2 inches tall and the brim is 4 inches. They are made from 100% wool felt right here in the USA. They can be shaped, formed or blocked to many diferent styles. There are hundreds of Youtube tutorials on the subject. There is no inner band so it is easily sized up or down. Then add your own band if you like or just wear it plain.
  A great all round, all year hat. I think they look great just as they are.

THE BRADY STRAW HAT



  I don't know why but for some reason I've always liked that full length profile photo of the famous Civil War photographer, Mathew Brady. It's the one where he is in the studio, standing with his canvas "duster" and wearing his low crowned straw hat. Not too long ago as I was day dreaming, looking through a book of his work when I came across that photo and wondered. Why has no one reproduced this hat? It can't be that hard can it? Well to tell you the truth it was a little more difficult than I thought. But not being smart enough to know when to quit I persisted! And several months and prototypes later here we are. I think it's a pretty darn good match. We hope you do too. It's made right here in Tennessee.

OUR BEST BRADY STRAW HAT



  While researching the Brady style of straw hats we found many variations. One of the most often seen was the style shown above. It was a typical Brady with a wide hat band and the edge finished with a cotton binding, see photo top right. How could we resist? If one Brady is good two must be better. It has a 3 1/2 inch crown and a 4 inch brim (approx.) Very comfortable in the summer heat and they look great.
  All of our straw hats are braided by hand from local material and sewn on a tredle sewing machine. Time consuming? Yes. Worth it? You bet! They are made right here in Tennessee.

TALL STRAW HAT



  The tall straw hat mimics the common style of the gentlemen's hat of the day. Although never as popular as it's stylish wool counter part we just could not resist. It's too unique not to offer. If you want to turn heads this is the hat for you.
  The crown measures 7 inches tall with a 3 inch brim. Very similar to the original shown in the photo right. You can easily personalized your hat with different width or colors of hat band for any occasion.

"THE PLANTER" STRAW HAT



  The "Planter" is uniquely Southern, no other hat is so esclusively associated with the south. The wide brim shades the neck and shoulders as no other hat can. The light color straw reflects the suns rays as the light weight sits comfortably upon the head. Even Yankee officers could see the benifit of this hat. It has a 3 1/2 inch crown with a 6 inch brim. As with all of our straw hats they are hand braided and sewn on a tredle (foot powered, no electricity) sewing machine. Made right here in Tennessee.

SAILOR'S STRAW HAT

  Anyone who has spent any time on the water knows just what a problem glare can be. Our new Sailor's straw hat not only reduces glare but is more comfortable to wear and cooler, it blocks more of the sun's rays.
  Just how does it work? Well we have lined the bottom of the brim with black 100% cotton cloth, that absorbs light rays, i.e. the glare reflecting off the water (or any other surface for that matter). Then we sew in a leather sweat band which adds much to the comfort, to finish it off we edge the brim with cotton ribbon - just as all well made period correct hats are finished. There is a very good picture of this hat in Echoes of Glory page 164.
  Now you don't have to be a sailor to enjoy this hat but the original we copied it from did belong to a navy man.

JIM BRIDGER STYLE HAT


  This pre-war style of hat was made famous or popular by the long hunter "Jim Bridger" circa "1840s". It was popular for years after. This style along with many variations can be found in photos right up through the American Civil War. My model does not do much for the hat.

LIBERTY CAP


  Liberty caps harken back to the American Revolution but as you all well know the US blockade of Southern ports made all things produced in the South a great source of pride. One of the most prolific crafts undertaken by the Southern ladies was of course their knitting and in the cold winter months what would be more welcome to a soldier in the field than a warm wool cap. Truth be told, they would be just as welcomed in a Union camp.

December 31, 1863. Lying wounded and alone on the battlefield at Murfreesboro, unable to rise or walk. Cpl. Hannaford of the 6th Ohio Inf. recalls, "In my blouse pocket was a new knit sleeping cap, sole luxury of my camp life. I drew it out, raised it on a stick and began waving it but before long gave up in dispair."

NAVAL OFFICER'S HAT

  First let me say that I can you show you many-many period photographs of this unadorned hat being worn by boys, young men, merchant seamen, river boat captains and privateers. The sailors among you will undoubtedly recognize it as a midshipman's but just to complicate matters even further this chapeau is sometimes seen being sported by senior officers. Not only was it popular across the spectrum but it spanned an extraordinarily long life as well. You have to remember that our ancestors did not have the benefit of stitch counters to tell them it was wrong. Oh the poor souls! So why do we call it a Naval Officer's Hat? For no other reason than we had to call it something now didn't we.

  In Jim Murphy's book, "Gone a Whaling" on page 18 there is a (circa 1855) photo of a crew from an English whaler. 21 of the 28 men pictured are wearing this hat.

  Well boys & girls the moral of this story is that if you want to wear this hat you can probably find a historically accurate reason to do so.
  We offer this cover in Federal Blue, Black or Grey Wool. All are lined with black cotton, they have leather bills and working leather chin straps. Be sure to use the comment section of the order form to tell us what color and side button you prefer.

THE COACHMAN



  This is a great looking hat. Now you don't have to be a Coachman to wear one. That's just the name I gave it. It reminds me of the old Hammer Studio movies. They always used this style of hat for any hack or coach driver. The style fits perfectly for any time period between 1840 and 1870.

THE DICKENS



  This is without a doubt my favorite hat of all times. In many of the old books and all the old magazine litho.'s. Or the photographs of the period showing men of any means this style of hat is always prominent. It enjoyed a very long reign as the most desirable style on both continents. Popular from 1845 to 1865 finally being dethroned by the "straight top" style. But in my opinion the "straight top" never had the style of the Dickens. This hat really makes a statement. Just imagine yourself walking into the ball with this hat tucked into the crook of your arm. Or when you and your lady are strolling through the camps visiting those friends and relations who have enlisted. People will look on with admiration I guarantee you.

Here's another view of the DICKENS.

GAMBLER

  When I look at this hat I can't help but to think of a Mississippi River Boat Gambler during the 1850's. The low crown and the short brim that tips a little low in the front just makes you want to say "deal me in boys!" But in all fairness you may look at it and see something completely different. I've seen several photos of soldiers both north and south wearing very similar hats. How about the photo of the 3 Tennessee boys captured at Gettysburg? The one standing, you know, the tall lean one with the rail fence in behind. Compare this hat to his. Pretty close don't you think?
  This hat is very comfortable, soft wool felt and a cotton liner that feels like your not even wearing a hat but your favorite cap.

Here's another view for you.

The outer edge is trimmed with sewn black ribbon and the hat band is a flat woven cord 1/4 wide. The head band is soft leather that wears extremely comfortably

"SLOUCH" HAT

  I'm particularly proud to be able to offer this hat. I've been looking for a high quality slouch for years but I could never find good quality at a fair price. Well I think I have finally found one. Just take a look at this beauty!
  Made from top quality wool felt, made in American. The brim is 3 inches wide, the crown is almost 5 inches tall with a slightly creased center top that is distinctive of the CW slouch. The inner head band is soft double ply cotton that wears extremely comfortably. There is no hat band as you will be adding your own hat cord. One on top of the other is not very attractive.

BOWLER STYLE HAT

  The Bowler style hat was invented in 1849 for English game keepers who could not wear a tall hat (the current style at the time) as it would be quickly knocked off and lost while chasing poachers through the woods. It soon became popular around the world as a neat and functional hat for all classes. The original makers of the bowler are still in business today.

ECONOMY KEPIS AND BUMMERS

  I hate to pass up a good deal, and the other day I found a supplier who makes a pretty darn good kepi and bummer at a great price. I bought a ton of them and got an even better price!

So now I'm gonna give you a heck of deal on em too.
They're made of 100% wool with black leather brims and black leather adjustable chin straps with brass buckles. They're lined with black 100% cotton broad cloth. They are very well made. I don't think you will be disappointed with the goods and I'm sure you won't be with the price.

They are available in Confederate grey or Union blue. We have them in sizes small, medium, large and extra large. Small fits a 7, Medium will fit from a size 7 1/4 to 7 3/8 and a large will fit a 7 1/2 to 7 5/8 and the extra large size fits 7 5/8 to 7 3/4 or there abouts. They're pretty easy to shrink or to stretch and get that "just right" fit but that's gonna be your job.
I got enough to do.

Just follow the three easy steps below

First; just choose below if you want a kepi or a bummer.
Second: Choose the color.
Third; Choose your size.
If you don't do all three we won't know what to send you, but if you include your credit card number you can bet I will send you something!

HAVLOCK

  A havelock is a kepi cover designed to reflect the rays of the sun and to cover the wearer's exposed neck to prevent sunburn. If you're going to wear a kepi in the summer months, a havelock is a real lifesaver, and I mean that. If you're going to fight at Resaca Ga. in the middle of the summer you might want to consider one of these. Yes I know just how much fun a ride in an ambulance can be but heat stroke is so --- last year. You know, everyone's done it. So why don't you be a trend setter! Drink a little water and protect your head from the sun this year.

BALMORAL

EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A SCOT!
  The Balmoral bonnet is the traditional Scottish military cap that many of the pre war Scottish militia's used. Many photos of the 79th New York Highlanders (among others), used the Balmoral. Ours is a very well made wool bonnet. I'm sure you will appreciate it's fine quality and the craftsmanship with which it is made.
