Where can I find this hat?

[Manassas 1861]

I've seen this hat used by the Liberty Rifles. It's a camp hat worn by the 3rd New Hampshire. I've seen one on etsy, but I'm uncertain of its quality. Does anyone know where I can get a good quality reproduction of this cap?

I don't know where to get one, but it's probably a good idea to contact LR for advice. It may be that they have a supplier that can provide one at a somewhat discounted rate. Failing that, Dirty Billy and Starbuck may be able to help.

I'm not positive but I think Avery Miller, Goober Grabber Headgear, made some of those. If not he probably would make one, he seems to make a lot of custom stuff.

Goober Grabber is not currently taking any new orders unfortunately.

He does that occasionally to catch up on orders and/or waiting for new materials to come in. Usually doesn't last too long.

He said he's taking a break to focus more on his job and family.

I hadn't seen that, I'm not on Facebook so don't look regularly, I use my better halve's computer ( my Facebook spy) occasionally to look at the Facebook sights. Well hopefully it's a short break, he makes nice stuff. Those guys get burned out sometimes.

Carter and Jasper or South Union Mills may be able to help you.

If you ever want something custom made, especially a historical piece, Emily-Jane Curtis is absolutely the best. All hand made, and period correct. https://www.facebook.com/emily.jane.curtis.2025

you could try Regimental Quartermaster in Gettysburg, they have a very good custom headwear person.
