    Thanks for the info LRRPF52. I was typing "Is there a vid that shows how these hats work"? And decided to change it to "Is there a vid that shows these hats off"? In the end, I got a bit of both.

    They look like nice hats, I'm just not sure I'd like the veil there all of the time.

      We're back to turning hat orders around within 3 days now.

      We're getting a lot of sun, I use mine almost daily.

        I looked at the pics at www.AR15.buidbox.com and there was some poor lady's head cut off and stuck on a post, perhaps a warning to the vile horde to keep their posts civilized, or to stay away from your shooting range?

          Still running between 2-4 day shipping on boonie hat orders.

          Worked through family events, birthdays, Fourth of July, don't care. I don't like sitting on orders.

            Feel free to ask for OD green and Tan 499 (close to Coyote Tan).

            I have those options too.

              OK, so what is the difference in brim between small and large?

              FYI, I have a bunch of boonies, including 2 marine covers, in XL, desert and marpat, so I have those for comparison.
              I see you mentioning the Tan 499, but the order form only has multicam and Kryptek, so I guess other colors and size are later specified in Paypal

                I have a large collection of boonies dating back to the 1980s for reference and lessons-learned.

                Small brims are close to or a bit shorter than most military boonies (depending on the vendor), with a 2.75" brim from headband to the rim as a measure.

                Large brims are 3.5", so a bit larger than most military boonies.

                I also just made a 4" XL brim that isn't listed yet, so I can really do whatever you want. You want a MC Sombrero with a Size 8 head, we can do it.

                We can also do double thickness brim material if you want a more stiff vs floppy boonie.

                I've also done more conventional boonies custom-order, but with my approach to ventilation.

                I prefer to communicate with customers to get the exact size and confirm what they want, so every order is followed with an email determining the details.

                No matter what color you order, there is plenty of time to get exactly what you want if we have the material.

                  A forum member asked me to do a Flektarn Desert hat.

                      So, I placed an order and then we talked a bit. Its my flecktarn hat.

                      He did some searching, and later made changes to get the superior pattern material you see there for the hat.

                      1st priority was customer satisfaction.

                          I recently added a wire brim option to shape the brim edge how you want on-the-fly.

                          It worked well for me in a dust storm in conjunction with sunglasses and the mesh veil, while those around me were getting dust in their eyes.
