Hi, knowledgeable Colonial Warriors,

I have Savannah Knights heavy and light cavalry from three or more manufacturers, and one of them casts separate 'conical with brim' west African hats which then can fit onto the heads of their cavalry figures. I need a few more of those very delicately-molded hats for my awesome camel-mounted kettledrum-pounders, but cannot figure out which manufacturer I should contact to try to purchase more.

I emailed Irregular, but they are busy and haven't gotten back to me yet.

Please let me know which manufacturer makes 'em !

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to say "28mm", apologies.

Apparently they are called "Fulani hats" and here is a link to pictures:

I think Castaway has some of these in their Savannah range. Full figures, not just heads/hats.

Castaway Arts does indeed make figures in "Fulani hats", but not separate heads wearing them. I'd be curious to see a manufacturer offering these as separate heads.

Savannah knights, conical hats … I almost expected the next phrase to be white sheets.
