Help finding MH beret

[TJBaker]

Wanted!

Have you seen this hat??

I'm hoping someone here can help me locate a discontinued Mountain Hardwear Wool Beret model OM1599.

Apparently made in 2006 and now discontinued. I wore one during my through-hike this year and unfortunately lost it the day I summited Katahdin! (10/06)

I've looked at a few outfitters locally but haven't located an exact replacement. Mine was size large and olive-greenish in color. (Mountain Hardwear may have called the color "carbon", based on a korean Mountain Hardwear webpage where the hat is still shown.)

Next time your at your local outfitters, take a look, perhaps in their clearance bin. I'd really appreciate any help.

You could probably Google one up. You could also call MH and ask them about it.

Ebay is a good source of discontinued or used gear too, but you probably know that already. Hope you find the melon cover you desire :)

However, their only in stock in black.. but color shouldn't be too huge of a deal.

Google is your friend :)

Thanks for the replies. Of course Google was the first place I looked and Ebay second. I actually found a regular size black beret at my local outfitter where I had purchased the first. Unfortunately I really need a large size, the regular size just doesn,t fit right on my 7 5/8'' coconut. sierratrading???.com had large grey ones listed but are out of stock. I sent an email to Mountain Hardware but don't really expect much there. I'm likely going to just start calling outfitters and asking them about it.
