Got my military style hats!

Thanks for the pics!! I forgot to measure mine when I got home but I will try to remember tonight!
Maybe I'll even take a pic of myself in it... Then you can decide if my dh is just being a jackass or if it really looks stupid on me.
I'm thinking next time I'll go with Magic.. much cheaper!
What is the difference between the conductor hats and military? Other then trains and army. LOL. I need to google it!

Are these the kids or adults? I'm trying to figure out what I want to buy at magic.

These are the adults. The kids only comes in black, and I'm totally kicking myself for forgetting to order a few. My niece would totally wear something like this.

I'm thinking when I order from magic I'll order kids to... little girls would look so cute in those with a big flower!

I just rechecked...the kids hats are available in the same colors as style 5081. Black and brown were my favorite colors, but my 7 y.o. son would love the army green.

We should just do a group buy on these and save ourselves some money. I know I want some kids caps and a few adult one's.

wow that looks very nice. great idea to bring in the tween/teen customers! may i ask where you bought them?

The first pic hats posted by me, came from northeast clothing company.

The ones Dani posted came from Magic Appearal.... I do believe her hats were about half the price of mine after shipping... She ordered several and I just ordered six. Mine are distressed and her's are not. They don't look much difference.

Dani what do you think about taking a pic of one on? I will if you will! Or maybe I can get my sis to take one.. she has a fatter head then I do so it may look better on her.

Well if anyone wants me to I will do a group buy. I already have an account with them. I'm heading to the post office. I'll check back and see if there's any interest.

SO, I finally measured my hats and they are 2 3/4 as well, so about the same as Magic. So if anyone plans to buy any I say go with Magic as they are half the price of the ones I bought at Northwest (unless you MUST have the distressed)...
I thought for the flower I'd use pin back, but when I pinned on there was to much room between the flower and the hat and it looks stupid. SO, I attached a tiny ribbon to the hat w/ glue and put the flower on using an alligator clip and it looks great IMO. PLUS it's interchangable. If you want to wear the hat plain you can, and the little ribbon is hardly noticed (at least I hope)... What do you girls thing? I'm not sure what to charge yet...
My next goal is to do a signed flower in brown for the camo hat.. I tied cotton (I cut an old T-shirt of mine up).. I just caught the fabric on fire... what material goes with camo??? Maybe I should just get some cross patches for the camo?
