Current scource for reproduction Chapeau de Brousse ?

[Hornblower]

Dear all , glad to have found your Forums. 

After years of collecting some "indo stuff" ( having always prioritized other impressions) I actually never found the time to really finish at least a full impression. This shall now change;) 

I had a reproduction chaupeau de brousse ones but wasn't satisfied with it as it was impossible for me to get it shaped in a good style due to the sturdy material. having a headsize of 61cm , all originals I've seen so far will never fit me.  

so I was wondering if you guys could reccomend any scoure for a qualtiy Reproduction ( my Size and preferbly the early olive color ) thats currently available? 


My latest search reveals no currently availble scource  

would highly appreciate your help here . 

Best HB

I got mine from eBay.fr a couple years ago. Can't remember the seller right now, though. They were 21€ a piece plus shipping.

I got mine from the same guy as Lew (as Lew recommended him), and have ordered several things from him. He's a nice guy, has some cool items, and ships fast. I think this is his eBay store: www.ebay.fr/usr/plainedesjoncs

I think my hat was around $30 shipped.
