Re: [MV] Hat info

Speaking of "hats" can someone, anyone tell me where I can buy one of the
flat top hats worn in the Army with the fatigue ubiform in the fifties and
early sixties? Been looking for one but everytime I see one at a rally its
always the wrong size, which isn't very often.

Thanks,

Sonny
