How does the sizing of the hat run?

The hat generally runs small, and ordering at least one size up from your usual is recommended. Some hats are even a full size to one and a half sizes larger than expected. If you plan to wash the hat, consider ordering two sizes up as it may contract in cold water.

What is the colour of the hat?

The hat is an olive green colour, though it is described as much bolder and darker than some images suggest. It is almost a forest or hunter green, and not a dark olive green like original period items. The colour does not bleed out easily.

What is the construction quality of the hat?

The hat is well-constructed and sturdy, with excellent workmanship. It is described as heavy-duty and built to last a long time. The quality is consistently praised across multiple hats.

Is the hat comfortable to wear in warm weather?

The hat is surprisingly comfortable even in temperatures exceeding 32 degrees Celsius. Being cotton, it can be easily soaked in water for evaporative cooling. It is highly useful for keeping the sun off.

What are the dimensions of the hat's crown?

The top of the hat is lower than original period items. It should be approximately one inch taller to match the historical design. This is a consistent observation about the hat's shape.

What materials is the hat made from?

The hat is made from cotton. This material allows it to be soaked in water for cooling purposes. The sturdy construction of the cotton contributes to its durability.
