Considering that they're recycled truck tarps, I'd imagine they're probably in pieces when they get them.

I dyed mine brown as I found the colour too light. The result did show up a little glue here and there but nothing to bad. It would be nice if you could buy them in brown or olive colours but otherwise it's a great hat.

???? Mine is a faded olive. Or rather it was. I've sent it bck for replacement as it was too big. I thought that was the only color they came in?

thanks for letting us no about this mate.
take care.

Yes I've seen the thread but I thought it was the individual buyers treating them? Mine was untreated and a faded OD. I'll have to check the new one when it arrives.

Just got my replacement in yesterday. It's an OD faded to a mottled greenish brown. Loving it so far.

Mine arrived today (birthday pressie from the wife) It's a sort of faded mottled brown sandy sort of colour. No patches or writing on it. Nice looking hat, and more importantly a nice comfy fit.
