Thompson Cap

  by Stag Hound
 
Good Evening, all!

I was inquiring if anyone had a Thompson cap they would be willing to sell. I just purchased a very nice jumper and would like the matching hat. I'll certainly keep my eyes peeled at the Big E as well.

I still have one but it is not in very good shape. I had one jumper in very good condition but I sold it in 2008 at the NHRHTA
show in North Haven because I had no use for it. I don't think I will sell the hat and it is somewhat beat up from a lot of use.
In my later years as an engineer I always used Kromer Hats, I liked them better than Thompson and I am not sure that they
are still around today or not. I still have mine and wear them often for sun protection.

Kromers are still around - at least about 3 years ago.

Great blizzard caps! Still made in the USofA

Maybe they make a hurricane cap for those in the southern/coastal regions......
