I prefer the Dodge WC-57 Command Car

I love that!
I do have a 1944 Willys and you don't see much stuff like that.
The only one I've found lately with an image like that, was at the gift shop at the Omaha Beach Museum about a year-and-a-half ago the one time I was there. Ashley, I bought that...
I'd like a hat like that in OD green with my Jeep serial number underneath in a white "stencil" typeface...

Make that 2 if you're ordering.

Niiice! Pretty intricate detail. How long does it take to do a jeep?

I'll have to look and see if I have any OD green on hand ... I doubt it but I'll take a look

Second, I'm not to sure that the colors would show up very good on the OD green .. that's why I used the khaki when I did that one originally

Due to the coronavirus, I think the supplier is closed down for shipments. Will get back to you later ..

I have the stencil font for embroidery. Send me your serial number and I can see what it looks like.

I struck out on Olive Drab so far .... I do have one in a dark but not olive green but not sure how the jeep would show up on it. It is a 6 panel low profile in all dark green with khaki eyelets and sandwich visor

This is a 6 panel high profile with khaki and a dark green eyelets and dark green visor with a khaki sandwich .. the body is khaki

Both are all cloth and the back could be embroidered as well

it has a little more than 17,000 stitches so it depends on how many per minute you run the machine ... Since I am in no hurry, I usually run it at a slower speed. Usually 500/600 stitches per minute

I've done some on shirts as well.

Thanks for the comment and inquiry
