Funny Civil War Veteran Hats

The Civil War Veteran Hat is a joke cap for people who were definitely, absolutely there in 1861-1865. It is a six-panel cap in black corduroy with an embroidered front patch, embroidered lettering on the brim and an adjustable strap at the back, and it thanks you for your service. Wear it to the grocery store and accept the confused salutes.

The sequel, the Civil War 2 Veteran Hat, is the same black corduroy cap for a war that has not happened yet: it says "Future Veteran". There is also an all-over-print Civil War Veteran T-shirt ("Civil War Veteran" on the front, "Proudly Served" on the back) and the Two Wars, Zero Service bundle with both hats.

They make a gag gift for history buffs and for anyone who enjoys being thanked for something they obviously did not do. More jokes like this live on the satire merch page.
