    tonyb.....hatter and a gentleman

    Hi Jeff Soooo, just how high IS that crown anyway (open). I'm having a (hopefully) last hat built by Tony sometime in a fancy black of some kind. (I need more storage...) All of my custom fedoras are 5.75 inch crowns, but I could be convinced to go higher. Looks good.

    Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps

    Hi Worf I had Major Moore build me a Roughrider hat that's shown back in the BUCKAROO Hatter thread. If you have a cutout from your head, or if you have him send you a conformer you can get the right size. If you have an idea how high the open crown should be and what brim you want, he can...

    What color hat?

    Hi Based on your post, you're most daring in fashion that I am. I wear earth tones with other earth tones, no navy and brown etc. I wear grays with other grays, blacks, and blues. I wouldn't buy either a Granite or Silverbelly hat because they look different in varying light. I like to have...

    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    Hi Justin If you can find a CZ with the hump backed stock at a gun show, try it in at least standing and kneeling position. Several friends tried it out and my daughter liked the fit much better than the straight American stock. Unless you've tried it on (so to speak), it just looks weird...

    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    Hi I own a CZ-452 American .22LR. The CZ 550 Safari Magnum has a hump backed stock that is the best fit I've seen for offhand shooting and it doesn't make any difference / problems shooting in Prone or Kneeling position. The Safari version comes in .375 H&H magnum. The CZ 550 Medium is the...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    Hi I just picked up the new Big Black Hat. It's big enough for Capitol letters. I just picked up Tom Mix's Biography at the Library this week too, based his and my hat styles it's somehow appropriate. I love the way the ribbon has the embroidered stripe down the center. The Ribbon MAY...

    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    Hi I have a .270 Winchester that I love. Nails everything around here (no elk or moose) and it has a little less recoil. A 7mm Mauser or 8mm would also be a period piece for our era. I also think a nice .45/70 would be a good pick in a Sharps or a Remington Rolling Block. Later

    HI That's odd, maybe it's the Formaldehyde that some brewers put in their beer. I thought some Asian beers, especially during the Vietnam War were famous for that. I only had ONE Tusker and it was imported... Later

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    Hi I was out at the range all day and when I got home I had a picture of my new hat. Rocky and Mike were working one of these in Steel when I was getting my John Wayne hat shaped. Rocky and I share a hat block so if it fits him it fits me. More pictures when I actually get a hold of it.

    Straw hat recommendation?

    Hi You're in the same city as Sun Body hats. They're a straw hat and are rain resistant in a weird way. In order to keep the hat nice, you have to soak it every month or so. They're both good and bad. They are grass of some sort and are kind of heavy, a lot heavier than a Panama hat. If...

    Show us your Guns!

    Hi I understand the problem, but I don't think you'll get much in the way of interest if you don't have some sort of idea. Even an estimate of say between $2-3000 (for example) would be helpful. I like the humpback CZ 452, but I got the American. Whoops. This would be a very similar rifle...

    Show us your Guns!

    Hi I'm also a little against the AR frame, not because I had to carry one, I didn't, but because I don't like it that I feel the ejector flip more than the recoil. I went out to a friend's ranch and shot my SAA. It's an old model Uberti (screw holds in the cylinder not the pin). Well, its...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Hi I THINK you may have had too much dent in the center because a teardrop commonly takes up more felt than a regular center dent does. If you like the teardrop, I'd forget about it. If you want to go FULL INDY, try a shallower center dent. I swapped a hat from a teardrop to a center dent...

    Well James, I won't defend Dickel, but I will state that I have had FAR WORSE bourbons than what George Dickel makes. One was 20% real bourbon whiskey and 80% ever-clear, water and Carmel food coloring. Ummmmmm. I didn't buy it, I bought Dickel. Later
