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.

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.
