The Trooper hat would be a cool thing to have. Care less about everything else.

Maybe it's the LAST Trooper hat made for the FHP...

That is not an FHP hat, nor is it even close to being one.

The current, Black campaign hat is the one below (in use since 1994):



The tan Stetsons used before then (with some of the straw hats) were the same-style hats that they wore for 50 years.

i was going to bid on that, thanks for pointing that out mike.

any suggestions to find the newer style hat?

I have no idea what they are currently using, but it looks like the Stratton campaign hat below (straw, in black):




These are available at many uniform shops.

FHP calls it a "Campaign hat-Bamboo" and they pay around $65 each for them, which is about $15 less than retail for the above hat.
