I'm a medic attached to a squadron out of the tenth cavalry regiment, and I just earned my spurs. As a spur holder I'm planning on getting a Stetson for all official cav functions, my only issue is the price I'm seeing some that are close to two hundred dollars, as a pfc I make enough to support my family but two hundred dollars on an optional piece of uniform just won't work. Anyone on here have a more economical way of buying the "Cav Hat"?

Go to the Army Surplus store in Old Colorado City. If they don't have one now, just tell them that's what you're looking for and they will keep an eye out.

Check out Pawn Shops, EBay, and Craig's List. It's more economical way. Buy used, most Stetsons don't get a lot of use and they're newly new anyway. There's restrictions on when and where the Stetson is appropriate. It's great to show pride in your organization, but don't a lot of money on this. I spent $170, wore my Stetson about 8x, and unloaded it for $30.

U.S. Cavalry only chooses the finest Stetsons! Fashioned from premium wool felt, this Cavalry Stetson is molded with a creased top and reshaped crown.
