    Bush Jackets

    What, Ernst Hemingway never wore Suede? Karamojo Bell, Blixen, and Frederick Selous never wore Suede. I'm appalled at their lack of style. If it weren't for Peter Capstick's books, I wouldn't known those names at all. Heck, I haven't worn suede since 1974. Later

    Akubra slouch hat

    Hi Edward I think that if you have a picture, measurements, and a hat size, any one of the custom hatters could make one. I don't know where (for example) Hat man Jack in Wichita Kansas gets his pugaree's. Obviously they are manufactured somewhere though. I know you're from the place we're...

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    John Wayne had a rattlesnake hat band on his hat in the Shootist, therefore, a Python hat should have a 100% beaver felt hat band. Its only fair.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi, I made it through school on PBR, brewed in Peoria Illinois until 1982, who knows where after that. The brewery is now a health center of some sort, but they still had a Pabst logo in the ceiling. That's class right there. Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi I had some of that stuff at a Chamber of Commerce event (i.e. I didn't BUY it). it was weird to get a buzz off cherry Kool Aide. Of course, I knew some ladies in College that used to just put the Kool Aide Mix in the Vodka. Blehhhhh, On a side note, I ain't ever been arrested etc on...

    Hat distressing

    All heck, I had gold / brown plaid checked bell bottoms when I was 8 or 10 (1968 to 70) with a big collar and a gold / red paisley scarf deal. Glad there aren't pix of that. Later

    Hat distressing

    Hi Tucker The hats in the first post of the thread aren't what I would call "distressed" in a worn way, they're more on the order of screwed with. If you are set on making distressed hats, I would make a nice fedora or western hat and wear it mowing the lawn, cutting brush, walking in the...

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    Hi, I'm old. I'm with HD on this one. I will comment that the commando concept when your jeans are killing your underwear is ummmmmm counter intuitive. Later

    Western, anyone?

    Well, there are a few places in Idaho. I bought my first cowboy hat from Jaxonbilt hats in Salmon Idaho online. I'd go local if you can. I've also purchased from Mike Moore (Buckaroo Hatter in Covington Tennessee), and Tony (Tumwater Hats Tumwater Washington). I'd let any of those three...

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    Hi Tonio It was shipped in an envelope!!!!! http://talbotsfineaccessories.com/GAF/Uniform/GAF US Army Uniforms.html Check the Andrews Hat, the troops hated it, but it folded flat. It was worn with the 1872 blouse, which the troops also hated even more than the hat. Bad ideas never go away...

    Snakeskin Hat Bands

    Wow, I take it you grew up downstate like I did. Montgomery County. Never saw open carry, but I wasn't horsey either. Later

    Snakeskin Hat Bands

    Hi Grew up in Illinois, we had pheasants pop their heads up in the beans behind the school every day until the start of hunting season. No one ever brought a gun to school that I knew of. No real violence then either. Of course Illinois has always had restrictive laws. On the other hand I...

    Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

    Thanks, I have several tan felts that I've sweat through. I am keeping my first bone colored Buckaroo Hat more pristine that the other hats I own. I was thinking that blue and white would be an annoying combination. Later

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi I had a Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante. I'm used to drinking cheap American beer with Zing Zang in it. The Zing Zang has a lot more flavor and a better flavor. The Tamarind didn't go with the tomato's in my opinion. Not bad, but I won't buy more, nor will I turn down a free one. Later

    Western Hat Care

    I just sweat through those suckers and don't worry about it. I only have a few hats I consider to be DRESS hats, and none are panamas even though a good panama costs more than a good felt hat. Later
