Anyone have an up close pic of the white star? Just a five point star? Diameter?
Thanks!

Re: Star
Galen,
Five point star. Since the shirts were made up by volunteer aid societies throughout Miss., the sewing styles and materials available varied some. I read about the batch you want to make up. Consider that some of the shirts your guys will have may have different sized collars. So I'd make a size that fits all. About 1 inch tall would do the trick I should think. -

I'd like to see if we can get metal pin-on/sew-on stars for hats for my company... it would be a nice addition and I've seen them on hats in period images.Johnny Lloyd

Re: Star
JOhnny- I would ask Matt to look at the regs and see what it called for with the star on the hat. Honestly looking at originals they seem to be fabric, but i could be wrong. We have a good base to get things going with the regs and the accounts, lets see what we can dig up.

Re: Star
Rest assured, Skip, research and coordination with Matt W. will happen before said effort commences for Co H. It should for every company. This is implied in the above statement.
