How to Find Army Hats

Army hats can make a fashion statement when incorporated into your everyday style, or serve as the perfect accessory for a costume. Tracking down these camouflage hats is fairly simple if you know how to look in the right places.

• Ask friends and family members who
  are in the Army or who served in the past. If you have a friend who is a service member, he
  or she may be able to give or lend you a hat. For older styles of
  Army hats, ask a relative who was in the service in previous
  decades. He or she may have their entire Army uniform stored away in
  a closet.

  Shop at Army surplus stores. You
  won't find a more specialized store for military memorabilia than an
  Army surplus store. These stores carry a variety of military items,
  including hats and other uniform accessories.

  Visit gift shops on military
  bases. These special areas are often open to the public and feature
  a variety of gift stores and museums. Bring your ID so you can get
  on post and check out the merchandise on a nearby military base.

  Shop at costume stores. Although
