that were of US origin instead of being adopted from someone else. The cardboard added to the old Field Cap (aka a patrol cap...) by some troublemaker led to the Lousiville Cap Company developing their semi-permanent stiff model.

Both it and the Campaign hat were sort of impractical.

Hmmm. Maybe there's a message in that somewhere...
