I've emailed them to see if they can do an 80's era, with no MLB logo on the back and a green underside to the brim. I'll post the result here. Crossing fingers!

OK, just heard back from Will there. He said the 74 Tigers cap is the same since it was used until 1983. He can look up after 83 if need be, but I think TM wore his initially around 1980-81 so the 74 should be fine.
That sounds right. The big differences in Magnum's hat and the one of today are: the MLB logo on the back, and the D is almost 3D now where it was a flat swen inpression in the 80's. I believe you will get what you are looking for with this.
This is great news. I wonder if that company can show some photos of what they look like. The drawing they had didn't suffice. perfectlykevin, could you email them and ask?
Icepick - Does it ever occur to you that you are always having to bail your friend Magnum out of trouble?

I can, but I'll be away camping for the next week. I'll do it though when I return.
I plan to order one anyway, so even if they can't supply a pic, I'll do a comparison pic or two with my recently purchased MLB Tigers hat.

Did you get your cap? I live in the U.K. and I have looked at the 1974 DT cap on the website.
But what options would be correct?

Hatband: leather or cotton?
Cut:
Regular, short or full?
Don't know the answers to those questions and I still haven't ordered mine. i think i would go for a cotton hatnband due to comfort, and the cut depends on how you wish to wear it. I'd say either reg. or full cut, I think the short would be too small, and not look like the right era.
Hopefully i will order when things calm down here, and I'll post a pic.
Couldn't you just ask for an official Detroit Tigers hat of that era..kind of a DEFAULT type of a deal, I'm sure they'd know what a stock hat would have been for that era. I believe Magnum's was.

Probably could do that but their drop down menu requires a selection of hat volume (full regular or short I believe). I'd imagine this allows for the right fit of differing heads. Still I think they should be able to do just the stock variety too. Email them, they're pretty quick with their follow up.
