Description: 1813 Pattern U.S. Leather "Tombstone" Shako (War of 1812) Size: Large (L) / 59 Introduced alongside new 1813 uniform regulations, the 1813 Pattern US Leather "Tombstone" Shako took the place of the old 1810 Pattern Felt Shako. Ironically, the new shako was very similar in appearance to the Belgic Shako being worn by British soldiers during this period. The shako's shield is integral to the hat's design. It features a nickel or brass plate with emblem of the branch of service as well as a worsted wool cord and cockade with button. Enlisted men wore a wool tuft over the cockade while officers hats were adorned by a plume of feathers. This 1813 Pattern US Leather "Tombstone" Shako is an excellent reproduction of this beautiful piece of military headwear. It features an authentic, adjustable bag type liner allowing it to be worn by varying head sizes. Whether using it for reenactment purposes, for display, or as a gift for your favorite military history buff, this shako is sure to please.
