ButtonLady Report post Posted April 1 Leatherhub has something similar, but nothing exactly the same. Seems like something he might like to develop, though —can't hurt to ask! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

327fed Report post Posted April 1 (edited) Thanks. We have a new historical site for a muster of War of 1812/ Spanish War and friends dress up in these. Edited April 1 by 327fed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted April 1 I know some Spanish and US regiments wore a stove pipe hat but would you also not be looking for the Belgic [style] Shako? In its long form and its false front form? Stove-pipe style Shako Belgic Shako with false front, as worn by some re-enactors btw; to be historically accurate; these hats, both the plain Stove-pipe, the Stove-pipe Shako and the Belgic Shako are made with the flesh side of the leather to the outside of the crown. This was to replicate the look of the beaver fur used on the better quality officers' hats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
327fed Report post Posted April 2 I’m sorry. I got my wars crossed up. War of 1812 and Creek Indian War. I am poor at leather, a worse historian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted April 2 You should read 'The Chicago Massacre of 1812'. I got it as e-book Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
