Happy Birthday WEEGEE!! Now, which hat do I choose to take off to you? Hmmm.. I'll have to get back to you on that one.;) Have a great one!
Huzzah!

Very cool Wyatt! Thanks a bunch for the screen captures, this will be a huge help. I don't know much about the hat it's self, but Tom Hirt is known as the hat maker for the movies. He had made most of the hats for Tombstone including the Johnny Rongo hat and the hats for Buck Taylor, Val Kilmer...
Why thank you gentlemen! It's alway hard to gage what a hat is going to be like by just one photo, but I think this one might have some merit. It definitely will need to be deoderized if they say the previous owner had smoked.
Any remedies other than steaming to pull out odors from a hat that...
I'm thinking 'Kingdom of Heaven". That one was rather enjoyable. For me the soon to be trilogy of Pirates of the Caribbean. You gotta love Geoffry Rush in that role.;) Another for me was Last of the Mohicans was very memorable. And of course I can't forget Tombstone.
Cheers!

Fool says you? Scholar say I!
Tch, tch.. Bart, Bart, Bart. The Resistol I wish to convert I have had (proudly I might add) for 18 years. It served me well in the rodeo arena and had at least one horse stomp it flat. But my days of the cattlemans crease are done. So should I just retire the...
I got this one today. Its a Dobbs Leisure Flex in a pewter. At least the color looks good on my monitor. Hopefully it looks this good in person. I'm rather excited about seeing it. It should prove to be a rather fun hat...
Why thank you folks! Very kind indeed. It should prove an interesting lid. They did mention that the sweatband was coming loose. Hopefully is is an easy repair. If not I suppose I can send it out in due time and have it done. The price was right, so I can invest in any repairs and not feel any...
Earp: Thanks for the screen captures, that is exactly what I was looking for! All I need to find now is the bib front shirt with the red dragon on it.;)
Davidson: Tom Hirt was the hat maker for Tombstone so he can re-create that particular lid quite easily. I've been contemplating having him...
One of my favorite references was the angry rubber duck hood ornament in Death Proof. It was from Convoy. The cool thing is that you can still buy this hood ornament. It's so bad it's cool.
Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon
Cheers!

I just got this Knox today.:)

We'll see what the actual condition & color is when it arives. I'm sure a cleaning will be in order. I suppose I'll...
Thank you for a very well done tutorial Davidson. This one should be a sticky.
My next conversion will be my black Resistol with a cattlemans crease & 4" brim. The idea to start with is an Elko style hat with a navy blue ribbon & brim binding. Then again it could morph into another idea like a...
