Short Brim Boonies

[cleric_.]

Yet another kit question from me! Does anyone have a good source of short-brim (1.5-2inch) boonies in good ol' DPM? I've looked around and can't find a proper surplus one in my size! I was wondering if there's a surplus store/website I'm missing that might have what I'm after

It's astonishing the stuff they have, and I found my own boonie there, and it's a short brim one. Mine's just OD though.

Yeah I bought a tiger stripe one and just cut it down myself and then resewed (word?) the brim hem back on.

Do Tilley still do them? I will add that Tilley is not the company it used to be nor the quality of it's products.

I just took an OD green Boonie and cut it down, a friend gifted me a MTB Boonie but it's lost in my camping gear or I would shorten the Brim on it as well.

Top tip for boonie hats... straighten out a metal paperclip and feed it between the stitches on the edge of the front of the brim. You can then shape that part into a small peak. This keeps the front higher than your eye level and when it's wet stops the rim from drooping over your eyes....
