    Hey, GAandy, Art here. Thanks for the post. Real informative. I just finished shortening my older tiger stripe boonie. I brought it down to 1 3/4" so it mimics the early advisor hats worn in 'The Green Berets'. After I trimed the hat, I re-attached the whip cord around the brim to give it a 'factory' look. I also removed the foilaige band from around the crown because I've read the early boonies didn't have them. Thanks again and keep posting!

    This worked better than I expected it to. My brim is a much better length now. Thanks!

    That ridiculous brim keeps more sun off of me when I'm fishing for 10 hours. I look for the wider brims. Question, why do the special operators trim it? Better vision? I heard its to break up the sharp outline of the brim.

      For me, I found that the wider brim, when in the rain, will flop down too far in front and block my vision. As the cut material frays, it also helps to break up the outline.

    2 to 2.5" is good - 3" of you're large [ 6' 4" Defensive End Types ] but FOLLOW outside the nearest stitch line .. this will keep fraying to microscopic levels, which creates a nice fuzzy / blurred edge to assist with concealment .. not all Boonies are perfectly symmetrical, so follow along the outside edge of a chosen stitch line rather a 2 - 2.5" measured distance .. also, if you're Active Duty, you'll have to be careful, as some officers can be real d-heads .. the best option is to carefully remove the brim edge [ the piece that's doubled over ] and then re-stitch it back on after you've trimmed the brim .. you'll have to shorten it a bit to match the smaller diameter, but of you're conservative on the amount of brim that you remove [ start with maybe 1" to 1.5" removal ] and re-stitch the brim-lip back on with the same stitch pattern, most Officers are too f'ng stupid to know ..

      Hey! Thank You for the comment. That sounds like a pretty good way to go. I just learned about putting a paperclip in the brim to help give shape and keep it from flopping over your eyes or blocking an optic.
