    Justified FX Hat

    It is a handsome lid. Like to get open crown & brim width dimensions. I've put that band on other hat models, latest a Heritage Campdraft in Silverbelly. Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk

    Leather jacket in the washing machine

    To soften up my very rigid & new Vanson Enfield, I sprayed it with room temp distilled water & put it in the dry with very low heat & a pillow cover with 3 softballs inside. It is quite noisy & softened up the jacket very nicely.

    Opinions: Best bash for Modern Stratoliner

    For my Premiere & Excellent Modern Stratoliners, I typically go with a center dent. A diamond is just an easy move from there. As said earlier, each hat has a crease it wants to be in. Just listen to it....

    Aero Zippers, Antique or Not?

    Got shiny brass on Vanson Octagon which looks good but on my Aero FQHH I like the antique brass zipper & front chest pocket. The buckles are shiny brass though on the pull tabs.

    Optimo south side mobsters

    That just assures I'll never buy an Optimo since I have had numerous refinished by them which is not going to happen again either. Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk

    The Resistol Roundup

    I've owned & worn Resistols for a long time plus have a few vintage dress & western models. Do any of you recall this from an ebay seller = "Some may not know that Serratelli was the maker of all Resistol hats. Only high quality American furs were used. This is what Resistol built there...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I bought 2 Beaver Brand OR styled lids after they announced shutting down operations. They are better than Royal Stetson grade from HatCo, comparable to Royal Deluxe grade, IMHO. I've had a few western hats from Beaver Brand & they were good usable lids too.

    Lochcarron Tweed

    Mine is not itchy at all, especially compared to the alpaca lining it replaced.

    Great info Rick. Now I know I'll only own my version of a tribute hat = RGT, not an actual one....

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    I watched Blade Runner again this weekend. Released in 1982, it shows the future of 2019...no way we get there in just over 3 years!

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    I have a great-grandfather that fought in the Civil War; all others weren't born until after the war (lots of great-great-grandfathers served). At age of 46, he married my great-grandmother, his second wife, who was born during the war & daughter of a soldier he met during the war. My father...

    Justified FX Hat

    My Raylan Tribute hat is a 4X Carson but I think the crown is too low based on all the looks I get of the original on screen. Who has the 6X Carson? When I found mine, the model had been discontinued & all I could locate in leftover stock was a 4X. Not sure I'd paid the extra for 6X either.
