Slouch Hat

[JBoisson]

Hi Neil

There's a pretty cool militaria shop down in Petaluma you might want to check out, (nice little three hour drive from Red Bluff) Military Antiques and Museum 707 763 2220. Mostly WWII, mostly Kraut and G.I. but some Brit and Commonwealth stuff--no repro, all genuine article (to my limited knowlege, at least) Give em a call and they can likely give you some better leads if they don't have what you're looking for, cool place to check out though if you're ever in the area. Check eBay too.
Cheers
John B.

Two more that may be helpful...

www.grantsmilitaria.com - Excellent Australian militaria site with many, many uniform pictures. They may even have one or two "slouchies" vintage WWI, if you got the big bucks.

www.greatwar.com - US militaria site, but they carry Aussie militaria also, last time I looked. Their inventory seems to change quite a lot and they never seem to have large numbers of any one item, but pretty good. Probably couldn't sell you a vintage hat, but maybe a repro.

All the best,
Dan

Another thought - Neil.

When you get it, post a photo of yourself wearing your slouchie, OK?
