No Love For Black Hats
True, it doesn't matter how well WE like it, it's your hat and it YOU don't like it, you won't wear it. No sense having a hat you don't want to wear. Later -
Pensioner Chic
Not disagreeing. I wear long sleeve shirts with no tie, top button unbuttoned in the winter. In summer, I swap to short sleeve dress shirts also with the top button unbuttoned. I wear v-neck undershirts with both. I can't wear an undershirt with a polo shirt because the darn undershirt won't...- 1961MJS

No Love For Black Hats
Hi I own a Beaver Brand Snowy River that I turned into more of a Fedora. It has kind of a short crown though. Its all black. I just ordered a hat from Mike Moore that's also an all black hat. Its actually a more modern cowboy hat, which I normally hate, but this one looks right. Mike was... -
Panama Hat Thread
Hi DLK's suggestion below is pretty good, but what I saw Rocky at Buckaroo Hatter do was slightly more impressive. On my John Wayne Cavalry hat, he steamed the whole brim and then held it on an 8-15 inch (didn't measure it) cardboard sleeve. For lessor curls, he used his belly. The belly... -
Civil War Forage Caps: A Review of Several Modern Sutlers
Hey, great look. I do have a suggestion (that may not have worked at a large reenactment). You should make an attempt to get modern stuff (like Jeeps) out of your background. Your uniform etc looks great otherwise. Later -

Do any of you guys follow any type of hat etiquette?
No, it's not. Harry Callahan said so. There is SOME leeway on where hats can and cannot be worn, but Ketchup on a hot dog is ALWAYS wrong!!!!! The Inspector has spoken. :D I was at Mike Moore's Buckaroo Hatters on Saturday the 13th of July, and being inside I kept taking my hat off. Silly... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Hi I had a pretty good visit in Fort Smith. I'll definitely hit the Fort Smith Museum across from the Gallows. I'd have stayed longer, but I was only about half way to where I was going. I'll have more pictures later. The new hot dog place (used to be a cart) next to the Army Surplus store... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Hi I stopped by Fort Smith on my way to Covington TN this Friday: Judge Parker's Courthouse. The Jail is in the foreground, it's a 3 story building on the inside. Murders on the ground floor, Robbers on the second, and the whiskey sellers on the top floor. The courtroom, most of the... -
Cowboy hats losing their cool?
Hi Willie was sort of at the Concert for Moore on Saturday. I guess Toby had to help him with the words to his (Willie's) songs. From what I heard, the weed ate his brain. Toby put on a good show from what I heard, but Sammy Hagar was obviously too old for Spandex too. Note, I didn't... -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Hi I love the shape and style. I'm not sure that the color would work for me. PERSONALLY, Navy is a more formal color than say Pecan... Later -

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
HI I'm surprised too, I've heard news storied (can't reference) that said otherwise. I'm very shocked at how little it said it is in comparison to the price of the crude oil. I knew it wasn't as heavily taxed as say Bourbon (talk to Jack Daniels), but I thought it higher. Later- 1961MJS

Katniss leather jacket desired
Hi On a sort of related research on Indian and Civil War uniforms, I noted that Officer's wore Frock Coats that are near knee length. Officers quit wearing them because the longer length tangled them up in the brush and on horseback. By Mid-Civil War many (most?) officers wore a sack coat...- 1961MJS

Hi, If by Clearwater, you mean the little Kansas Town, then just drive to the West side of the river in Downtown Wichita and go to Hatman Jack's. Later -
Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
Yep, back in the 1960's. I remember the Wide's station, but never remember it being OPEN. I do remember 19.9 cents a gallon, I think I paid in the 50 cent a gallon range. I remember a time when they had to switch pumps to get over $1 a gallon too. Later- 1961MJS

Cowboy hats losing their cool?
Nahhh, not so much that, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky has a lot of farms that raise cattle too. Guys that raise cattle in those states (including the whole South until you get to the Mississippi) are usually considered to be farmers, not ranchers. The cattle drives my grandfather... -

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
Hi When I still lived at home, Illinois raised their gas tax by more than a dime a gallon. I seem to remember gas going from about 50 cents a gallon to 70 cents a gallon. The sign at Wide's Gas Station said 14.9 cents a gallon for about 25 years, until they tore it down to put in the bank...- 1961MJS

Cowboy hats losing their cool?
Hi I thought that an article from a Florida news outlet (newspaper?) on the subject of Cowboy Hats, was a bit out of their league. I don't expect an article on the usefulness of Tuxedo's to get much traction coming out of Idaho for example... Later -
Show us your Guns!
Hi Doug Turnbull is an ARTIST, but that's just wrong on SOOOOO many levels. It's like a taco pizza, if you wanted a taco you should oughta ordered one. If you wanted an 1880's lever action, you shoulda bought one. Just my $0.02 and worth about half that.- 1961MJS

What Did You Drink Last Night?
:D I'll let you know how it turns out. I haven't gone and I'm really busy at work lately. Had a Dunkel at a place called Das Boot. They are an offshoot of a German Restaraunt and serve a lot of beer in glass boots. Later- 1961MJS
