Campaing Hat Chin Strap & Hat Cord
« on: February 25, 2011, 11:04:22 PM »
I was able to find a WWI Campaign hat, however it does not have a hat cord or chin strap.  Are there any vendors for those two items.  I have done some searching on the Web, but have not found any vendors with the authentic stuff.  Thanks for any help.

What Price Glory for chinstrap.
Capt'n Jack was my great great grandfather, a Captain of the Ky Cavalry in the Civil War.  He lived to a ripe old age.

Remember that the cavalry had a chin strap for their campaign hats. Other arms had a thinner strap that went around the back of the head. I know it sounds silly, but that's how it was worn until the campaign hat was phased out.

I was at the Resistol/Stetson hat outlet store last year.  They had a bunch of Stetson campaign hats.  They sold the leather band and chin strap separately.  The chin strap loops around the hat band.   I don't know if they still have them.  You might give them a call:

I found the Chin Strap at What Price Glory and it is on the way.  As to the hat cord I will probably get the one from Cav Hooah as WPG was out of them (Infantry).  Thanks for the information everyone, I appreciate it.
