Default Harley Captain Hat

Now that I'm officially a grey beard, 59 years old, (WTF), I feel I'm old enough to wear an old style HD cap. Is there any chance of finding one for under 60 bucks?

How about a used police soft hat and sew on a HD logo?

I had a white w/black bill "Captain's Cap" when I had my '75 Electra Glide!

The only thing close these days that I know of is perhaps a leather cap......but not too many folks wear them these days.

Maybe Ebay?

My old man, his sister, and my uncle had similar hats back in 1945, but they rode Indians. LOL
