You might want to try the CMP. They used to carry a very nice reproduction stock for the M1 Carbine and the M1 Garand. If they don't sell them anymore then a gun show is probably your best bet. I have a few old stocks and might sell one but can't remember what they are. If you are interested you...
Thanks Tom. I found that one at a gun show a few years ago. Looked like it had never been shot. The slide has that beautiful blueing of the old S&W's. Of course the frame is aluminum but looks good too.
Texas Hatter's is great for refurbishing and new custom hats. I have done business with them for many years. I think there is another hat shop north of you in Waco also. I believe the name is Standard Hat Works. I've never used them though so I can't comment on their work. There are YouTube...
All these Homburgs look great. Makes me want to try one again! I had a nice Stetson St. Regis but sold it because I didn't feel comfortable with the way I looked in it. I should have held on to that one for awhile before making that final decision.
Caramel,
Be careful buying a straw hat that old. I have bought some older straw hats that looked good in the photos but when I got the hat the straw was so dry that it didn't take much to crack it. Personally I'm more comfortable buying older felt hats than I am buying older straw hats for...
I have a brown Open Road in a cattleman's crease that was refurbished by Texas Hatters. It is a large 7 3/8. I would consider selling it. If you are interested let me know and I'll take some pictures.
Looks like a Homburg with a front pinch to me. Akubra sells a new production Homburg. Below is a link to one. You might want to look at their Bogart too. It is very similar to that hat when the front brim is up.

I was in Paris Hatters yesterday and Abe was telling me about the award. He said he sold almost 1,000 Stetsons last year. If I remember correctly the exact number was 960. That's just Stetsons! He also sells most all other major brands. I thought that was pretty impressive considering he is...
Preacher Man,
Normally I prefer longer brims like on the standard dimension Campdrafts but I have to admit I really like this shorter brim version. It is the shortest brim hat I have but I think it looks good. In my opinion, I think it looks better than most shorter brim hats because of the...
My girlfriend and I went to a nice restaurant on New Year's Eve this year. I was wearing a nice hat and with no place to hang it I set it on a vacant seat at our table. It was very crowded and every time a waiter would come by our table holding a tray above their head I would cringe. I was so...
