It just doesn’t fit anymore. I dearly love this hat, lots of good memories, but it’s time to let it go since it has so much life left. Clearwater Hat Co. from likely 2002-ish. I was shocked at the price then. The quality is excellent. I think this is their ‘Shiloh’, similar to their Early America ‘Low Crown’. I’m not sure if it was round or oval blocked, but it’s ovalled out to ‘head shape’ now. 4-1/2” crown, 3” brim. Grosgrain ribbon binding and band. Fully lined with full leather sweatband. THIS IS A FUR HAT!Sizing is about a 22”+. I’m a 23-1/4” now. How does that happen? About 6-1/8” across and 7-1/2” front to back. I just steamed it and took the ‘campaign dents’ out of the crown. Brim is still nice and firm. Make me a fair offer. I like trades, too.

Your head is bigger because you've crammed more information into it...

Thanks, Hand. Dad just says I have a fat head. 😜 This ain’t the only hat that’s small on me now!

With me, it's more of a memento mori thing - I surround myself with people that keep me from getting a fat head (and taking myself too seriously)...

Very nice piece, unfortunately I've got a small gourd or I'd take it!

Still available.
Wonder if it could be re-bocked… cut the brim down to 2”-2-1/2”… make a dandy F&I ranger or light infantry hat…
Or not. Might list it over on that other site.
