Tiger Ten-Gallon Hat / Advisor - Khaki
Product details
The Tiger Ten-Gallon Hat is heavy duty cowboy hat modeled after those worn by "Saigon Cowboys" during the Vietnam War. Characterized by its tall crown, wide brim, and adjustable neckband, the brim is soft and unstructured, shaped by snaps at either side of the head.
It features a hand-printed custom Tiger camo based on mid-Vietnam War "Advisor" camouflage, with warm gold overtones. The Real McCoy's had to hand-print this camo due to the size of the print to correctly reproduce it onto a custom 100% cotton base. The base fabric was carefully designed to replicate the rough fabrics of the time, while being up to their high standards.
The weave is a 100% cotton twill - light enough to breathe well and feel good during the hotter seasons, but not so light as to feel insubstantial when the weather cools down a bit.
Tiger camouflage became appeared within the US Military during the Vietnam war, being unofficially adopted at various points of the conflict across multiple different branches of the US armed forces. The pattern was widely popular for its effectiveness in jungle environments, and so Tiger Camo garments were generally permitted, but not issued, and being purchased from or commissioned to local tailors "in country" resulting in the many different styles and permutations of Tiger Camo.
Available in Medium and Large. Wash cold and hang dry.
