SOLD OUT: New run of Jeep driver hats
Posted: January 13th, 2017, 12:31 am
I've seen a number of the jeep driver fan made hats, and I'm none too pleased with any of them. The notable features of the original hat include:
-Two tone (Undistressed khaki body and eyelets/dirt red suede bill and button)
-High profile structured front
-Embroidered logo (approx 2 1/2" tall)
-Brown plastic adjustable strap
Most of the hats I see fail to hit ANY of these marks, and while I can't seem to find a way to reproduce exactly what you see in the movie, I think you'll agree that the hat I'm working on is a big improvement over past offerings. Having the logo embroidered directly on the hat makes for a much more authentic look/feel than sewing the 4" patches on a blank hat.
My hat features:
-Two tone (Undistressed khaki body and eyelets/dark red cotton bill and button)
-Low profile structured front
-Embroidered logo (2" tall)
-Khaki cotton adjustable strap with brass buckle
What can I say? It's not 1992 anymore. Fashions change, and the original hat is out of style. This is probably the closest reproduction you'll find without getting a fully custom made hat from the ground up. I estimate they will cost $15 apiece plus shipping . Who would be interested in such a hat?
Before anyone asks, the Dr. Harding color scheme is not an option.
