Historical Reenactor Hats

Reenactors have a vocabulary of their own. The worst thing you can call one is a farb, a word the hobby traces to the heckle "Far be it from me to say they didn't have those in my day," and authenticity is graded on a spectrum from farb through mainstream and progressive to hardcore, where every article of an impression is based on documented sources. Reenactment covers the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, World War I, the Napoleonic era and more, and living historian is the broader term: a reenactor is a living historian, but not all living historians are reenactors. The gear is serious money too, with specialty items like coats and shoes running several hundred dollars at minimum, and by one account the time spent on the field is quadrupled by the time spent researching. These Historical Reenactor hats turn that pedantry on the wearer. Badges name the hobby, the war and the living historian; the sentence designs cover the hat that is not period correct, the death scheduled for 2 PM, the first-person holdout who will not break character in 1776, and the regiment that only musters on weekends. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for yourself, or for the person who already owns the wool.
