Too bad Tim Allen no longer does hats. I have two of his and they are the best slouch hats ever.

Pardon the dust but notice the hand stiching here. It was based off a original in Troianis collection.
I own gear from a lot of these sutlers so I thought I would share with you guys. (I am in the process of upgrading/replacing my old gear so most of this stuff is pretty new.)

I could be mistaken, but wasn't the Hardy hat designed to have one side held up by a badge?
Some were issued with the brass and stuff and some were issued separately. Some soldiers preferred to wear the brass and stuff. Some did not.

The Rebs mostly got their stuff homemade. :P

Basically all in the name. Reproduction rations at a decent price which make great pocket litter and something to put in your living history display... or eat on the battlefield! Much better than Mickey D's in the truck back at the lot, that's for sure!

Also in the US, there's Soldat FHQ. They do all kinds of stuff, but most notable are their WWII German Erkennungsmarke (ID disk) and Soldbuch (paybook) personilization. A bit pricey, but looks amazing.
