Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Does anyone make these in plain green like the ones we were issued and in men's sizes (7 7/8 or 8)? From a search on the web the sellers seem to think everyone has a size 7 1/2 or smaller. My original hat finally fell apart after 60 years. No one makes anything that lasts anymore. (Sarcastic imogi needed here.) I have guns well over twice that old that look and work almost like new. Quote
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 This place shows a size 8. https://grandpopsarmynavy.com/products/od-green-jungle-hat-ripstop-made-in-usa?variant=42391522214123 1 Quote

When I was in, ('77 thru '90), we called them jungle hats, so I just searched "jungle hat size 8", and that's one that came up. Edited March 6 by Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 1 Quote

A few years later I was a Marine Staff Sergeant and a small time later a Gunnery Sergeant. I pretty well have figured out who I can trust, but thanks again for the upbeat message.
