Fantastic hat. Really well-made, and the crown molds into whatever shape you press it into. As has been said before, these do run a bit large, but you can fix that by stuffing the sweatband.

Compared this with my original and it’s as close as it comes. Color and style are correct. Order your normal size.

VERY fine piece of headgear! The felt is of better quality than any other reproduction 19th Century general market (meaning not custom ordered) military hat I have come across, the hat comes AS ISSUED (meaning open crown/open brim) and has a fine and GOOD sweatband (essential in helping a hat hold its shape). The sole problems are that the sizing seems to run a bit large (old cowboy fix: Fold some toilet paper and place it in the sweatband. The fit can be customized easily in that manner) and the felt is a bit soft (hat stiffener, available from any good western store, will take care of that issue in no time at all). Overall, I highly recommend this item.
