Yes best for shedding rain. Defeated again by the addition of a pencil roll. There seem to have been several parallel streams of evolution of broad-brimmed headgear in operation during the 1800s. We should not forget the contribution of the Mexican sombrero, which had a rich evolution going back to the colonial era when even Anglo pilgrims wore such headgear. Hell, even Dutch pilgrims: take a look at any image of Peter Stuyvesant. The classic oversized "ten gallon" with the canted bash, angled wings, and sloping back brim is no coincidence or fashion statement. Such shapes evolved on the open ranges where protection from the sun vied with stability in the wind and even then you needed a chinstrap. A classic "Tom Mix"-style hat is the perfect shape: when you lean into the wind it pushes the hat onto your head.

The campaign hat has always been my piece of headwear. Ever since I first learned of its existence when learning about the U.S. military prior to world war 1, I've had an unending fascination with this hat. So much so, that the character in my profile picture (a world war 1 era U.S. marine) is even wearing one himself! Heck, I even got one for myself on my 17th birthday though, unfortunately, it couldn't fit my massive head. I hope to save up enough money to, one day, buy one that will actually fit me that I can wear with honor. Thank you, Santee old chum, for making this video.

A side note re: the "campaign hat": Our American hat has its four ridges/creases on the four Principal compass points (N, E, S & W) Or if you prefer by the clock - 12, 3, 6, and 9 O'clock). British hats, like the Mounties wear, are on an "X" pattern, i.e. 2, 4, 8, and 10 O'clock.

When the US entered WW I the nation undertook the largest conscription since the Civil War. The minuscule regular US Army had to train this huge force. The sergeants training the conscripts wore the campaign hats they wore on the plains and in the Spanish American War. At roughly the same time the US Army started to issue the much more practical helmet. So campaign hats became almost exclusive to old professional troops and their distinctive identification. So much so it became an issue item. It survives as the hat Drill Sergeants (USMC Drill Instructors if you eat crayons) wear teaching Basic Training in the military today. It takes rigorous training to become a Drill Sergeant/Instructor and incredibly hard work (18 hour, 7 day work weeks for months on end isn’t uncommon) So the hat is a badge of honor. Until it’s retired when the NCO returns to his regular duties it’s worn with pride or stored in a frame to keep the brim straight as a razor.

You could tell which side of the northern border a man was from by the creases on his hat. Canadians had the front dimple forward, the ridges of the creases going SW, NW, NE, SE. While Americans had the crease in Front, and the ridges going S, W, N, E. Best examples today are Canadian Mounties, and US Marine DIs. Both still wear their Smokey Covers in their traditional, national ways.

Good video as per their high standard. Black felt hats are still of high ranking. I was requested by the head of a family of Native American cowboys and Indian Rodeo riders to photograph the family for their new business cards. I was too much an amateur photographer to know how to photograph black hats. Black absorbs light and reflects no light to the camera. The only thing a camera sees is the muted sun and dirt on the hat. The family wanted to look spiffy with no dirty hats. Wish I could have figured it out. The family was good friends at their rodeos I attended for years. Their rodeos are small and more fun than the one large Tucson event. Try one out. I had a good time for years. The Ghostriders are an excellent intro to the West that was. They are doing valuable work to rebuild an important movie set Mescal prominent in local movie industry history.

When I had the misfortune of going through basic training the Drill Sgts. all had those kinds of hats, pulled down in front with the chin strap behind the head. Right after Viet Nam the whole Army was demoralize, morale was in the crapper and it was the Sgts, and training cadre that pulled that organization up by its bootstraps and made it what it is today. So there is to me a certain gravitas that comes with it. But there is something I have always been curious about and since you are the hat guy maybe you know: why is it in all the Cavalry movies the troopers wear the front of the brim turned up? It doesn't keep the rain or sun out of their eyes so maybe it's just a style.

Nice chapeau, the Montana Peak is rather iconic around the world with the New Zeland army using it and then as the US campaign hat, the boy scouts, Smokey Bear and the Mounties. Go down under and you will be a geezer in a squeezer. I have one with the Montana crease and old timers say it had a vulger name.

Yep, the NZ did use it. Even pointier or peakier than mine.

So I did a video on, how to assess the sand of the modern cowboy. In this video I addressed the function of a hat and to give my viewers an idea on how quickly a truly daily work hat will age, and become it's own character. I also mention how at its core all historically as well today hats are open crown, until a manufacturer or hat shaping occurs. My hats are now all open crown, they now have wider brims now that I don't live in the Rockies anymore. Also many will pay to have the hats artificially aged, but that can be visually spotted as well. I kinda of addressed you in this video as well because of a previous conversation about no sweat band in my old hats Mountain man

My nephew is in the RCMP and yep, that is still part of the uniform and I believe Stetson makes it for them. Got to try it on but his head is a bit smaller than mine(or I have a swelled head).

I love hats , love wearing them to this day . I first fell in love wearing hats since I was about like 14 or 15 years of age, and still rocking the western hats . Have a good one Santee .

I've always wondered about the origin of the campaign hat. For L.E. they make the brims very stiff. As patrol vehicles got smaller I beaned myself on the A frame quite a few times getting into the car and forgetting to remove my hat first.

Yeah, and those hats have an unusual strap in the back that seems to go around your noggin...right?

The Montana Peak is a distinction between the WWI (M1912?) and Spanish-American War campaign cover. Those usually had a crease in the middle, which works GREAT for tropical rain😆

Awesome. I'll check out Marsh Custom Hats. I tried to get a custom hat from the hat maker in Viginia City, NV, but it did not go well, and I was pretty disappointed.

This is perfect timing. I just ordered a vintage Boy Scout campaign hat off of eBay! The hat doesn’t have a size tag so really hoping the seller measured it correctly!

I think they can be re-sized. Note that those tend to be really stiff hats at first.

I bought a brand new one at the Base Camp store at Philmont, and then two weeks of monsoon marching and climbing in the Sangre de Cristos turned it into a boonie hat.
