T P & H Trading Co - 19th
Century Hats by Tim Bender
T P & H
Trading Company has been involved in Civil War sutlery since 1990.
Started as a part time business while Tim pursued his career in the
law enforcement field, the sutlery was originally a general line
dealer specializing in antique goods. In 1993 Tim retired from his
first career and has pursued his interest in Civil War goods full
time ever since. In 1995 Tim felt that the representation of hat
makers for CW use was under represented, and started making hats.
Self taught, Tim had the opportunity to study extensively a private
collection of period hats, and acquired a period hat that he
dissected literally fiber by fiber to determine what "secrets" our
antecedents may have used. Tim also relies heavily on photographic
evidence as a basis and guideline for styles.
