I'm trying to make this a surprise for them so I won't be able to get actual head measurements 3)what would you recommend for a liner, if any? The hide was tanned by moyles so the leather side is pretty nice but I'm thinking a liner might be a bit nicer to appease the mother haha. Any other advice would be appreciated also. Thanks!

Might want to have it made little large or adjustable to allow for growth. Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.

Pm for my address. Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !
