Anyone have any good history of Worth-Walden?
I have been around here 30+ years and I was in the store in 86 or 87 I think as it was not long before I started working in this area. It was a well stocked place as I recall but that was not a day I was buying a hat and long before I knew much...
I contend that the hat's ranking is dependent on what it is worn with. A chimney sweep with a tophat is not formal and tails with a western hat worn to a Texas Gala is highly formal.
We all know that all rules of hat wear were obviously meant to be broken since they are regularly broken and...
I bet one of our custom hat craftsmen we laud on this site could do a great clone from the photo. That hat is very close to some hats Michael Gannon has made for some guys on here.
I have worn boots every day for decades and have owned lots of different makes. Luccheses have lasted better than any but 3 times more pricey custom boots. I can get them full resoled several times before they are done. Many reputable brands are often not worth the first resole as it looks like...
No reason to dump on hollywood. The self-importance thing is rampant all over. Alabama, South Carolina, NYC, LA, Dallas, Houston, and almost every professional sports locker room. And we should never forget the Capitol. Maybe all state capitols. Every exotic automobile is little more than a...
I had a nice hat that I took off one time and placed on a box sitting outside the barn while I was shoeing a horse in the barn. Another horse tied outside in wait was close enough to move around and deposit a load of manure on my silver belly hat leaving it stained. I now worry that if I ever...
I live in Fort Worth Texas area and it surprises me how little of Traditional Texas is left here. I am a hat wearer every day and most days in my travels about I would not see another western hat if I didn't look on my wall. I'm sure this is the same phenomena that has been going on for...
I looked at my Stetsons that are in that age range and they all have visible wide set stitching under the ribbon where the reed tape was sewn to hat at the flange break. The one I have that has detached at front has no stitching visible in the detached area as thread must have broken and pulled...
Fold up sweatband, slide the ribbon up on the outside and you will see the stitching. It is as simple as needle and thread stuff goes. Go round through the exiting holes twice on starter spot and then try to use the old holes as that makes the needle work not require a thimble to be easy on the...
