What about the 2015 post by BenVK that shows a color piped [yellow] SS crusher that he says was non-German made with the exact type of liner material?? Its even pleated the exact same way...Comment

Are you for real because the hat for sure is not? JComment

Perhaps you should take a look at some old posts of SS crushers from the past that were praised as originals.. You will see the same things, folded over liner edge and exposed stitching at bottom. I was just looking at them. You will also see the same cheap sweatband material as well on several examples [not that there are that many]. If these are your arguments against the hat, they are weak....Originally posted by Lenny W View PostLast edited by clestuff; 08-31-2019, 01:33 PM.Comment

Period original Hat from the native american tribes, used by them for Firedance, that is why it has Burnmarks. If i am not wrong, Chief CrushmyBalls used it himself...... when that Thing is real, then all we ever collected is fake

This is the undamaged side of my hat. It looks like typical lightweight material found on other crushers I have seen and owned. The lower stitch line cannot be seen. It only shows in the back of my hat because it was cooked and exposed. If you pull up on the lower piping a little, you can see it and it's exactly where it should be on a period hat. Also notice the proper joint of the piping. Also noted by me is the very small amount of padding which is correct for a lightweight crusher. Other than the burn marks, I would like to hear why anybody would think this hat is fake. It is no Janke or Superfake. Isn't it possible the hat was burnt in combat? They were combat worn hats, didn't things tend to get hot? They were made cheap [like the cheap sweatband] to be worn in the field, not like the dress hats we see most of the time.Comment

So why do we see a bunch of exposed stitching on the front and side of the cap where the visor meets the caps body,now I think your just making stuff up as you go alongOriginally posted by clestuff View Post

And I have yet to see a fake cap with this "snake" type of wire peak stiffener made out of the correct type of metal that oxidizes and is wrapped in the correct material. I also would like to point out the stitching behind the skull for attaching to the stiffener which I have never seen on a fake but has always been there on original SS hats I have owned. I've done a lot of hat construction "digging" on original and fakes. They always get something wrong on the "inners" of the fake hats. Pleats are correct, hand stitched sweatband is correct. I cannot find one thing wrong with this hat. Please educate me if you do. This hat is the real deal boys.Comment
