    The Superior Cap Company (Mike Stiles)

    Pards,

    I just received a new forage cap produced by Mike Stiles of The Superior Cap Company. If you have never seen one of his caps, you are missing a great reproduction the likes of which I have never seen! It follows the 1865 Quartermaster Regs, and is spot on. The cap is so well made, you would think you were looking at an original in unissued condition!

    Forgive me if he is online and I just missed it accidently, but do you know if he has a website or e-mail adress? I've searched for him on the internet before and can't seem to find a site.

        I bought a forage cap from Mike about 15 years ago. Very fine, tight worksmanship. Mine was a special run lined with antique brown polished cotton which he had a very limited supply of at that time...but it gives it a very convincing look. The sweatband is properly checkered (cross-hatched). Some had noted that his chinstraps are too narrow at 1/2", which in comparision with an original I currently have at 5/8" may be a fair comment. Is his current production is the same? I am wearing that forage cap in my avatar.

          i just talked to mike a few weeks ago-he doesnt respond to email all that fast the best way to contact him is his phone number-send me a pm if interested. His cs caps are awesome! I am torn between a blue-grey kersey camp or a new fed forage cap...
