    Cleaning my hat... a slightly odd question.

    I wear all of my hats except the really dressy ones out to my barn. They all probably get fecal matter on them one way or another. A good brushing will clean your hat well enough unless you are a serious germophobe. Do no use alcohol but get some Zippo lighter fluid on a white rag & blot the...

    Black Sheep Hat Works

    Awesome trip. Thanks for the effort to record it the way you did. Amazing shots of an amazing adventure. Having only done a few sections of the Appalachian Trail, I'm in total awe of what you did & how you documented it. Fantastic! MANY thanks again.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I paid considerably more for one of the remaining Beaver Brand stock of a hat shop for a OR clone Classic. They are definitely worth $40-$60 IMHO.

    Highwayman fit

    I have a 44 Aero Steerhide Highwayman. I wear a 44 suit & also have a 44 Magnoli Open Road & a 44 AL Dirt Rider. I also have a 42 Aero FQHH 50s Half Belt. I can see going to a 42 in the HWM but not 40 & no way 38 (that's 3 sizes, right?). One of my best fitting jackets is a US Wings that is a...

    Wasn't the Gangster Squad actor the second Terminator, the liquid metal one?

    Ordering an Akubra from Everything Australian

    I've done the +3 month wait for an EA Campdraft a few times now. Both were well over 9 weeks. Haven't they had wild fires in that part of Oz? For what you get, well worth the wait & then some. JMHO

    Favorite Motorcycle Riding Jackets In Your Collection

    Favorite until purchasing a discounted AL Dirt Rider was my vintage Fidelity Leathers cafe racer. I had the pocket zipper on 1 removed since the pull was missing. Still breaking in the Dirt Rider but it is doing nicely.

    Cowhide Character Development?

    I wore it while it was damp until it dried. Seems to fit a tad better but can't see any difference in the grain. I'll wear it as much as I can but the thing still looks brand spanking new to me. Thanks for all the replies. Keep the suggestions coming....

    Cowhide Character Development?

    One tag says cowhide & another says steerhide. I'm putting it thru a cold water wash then tumble airflow only.

    Cowhide Character Development?

    I have a used FQHH that is developing lots of character as I wear it doing almost everything I can around the ranch. Now, I also have a cowhide Highwayman that looks brand spanking new. I know this cow is tanned differently than the Horween Horse so can I accelerate its patina development any?[huh]
