The hat store-Houston Texas
Spooky. If you mean Robert E Lee, that's where I went to high school as well. Graduated in '82. Frank -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Over half the listings I get when I search for 7 7/8 on eBay are mislabeled 6 7/8s. Made me quit trying for a long while. Plus the other cranially endowed guys here seem to strike more quickly than I do. I did grab that 7X Clear Beaver that was here in the classifieds, and was pleased that it... -
The hat store-Houston Texas
Yep. When you Google it, you can see my old street Judalon, even in the small map window. Used to ride my bike or skateboard there, and went to elementary right up the street. Glad some things haven't changed. Last time I was around there, I could hardly find my old house. Before Gary... -
The hat store-Houston Texas
If that store is still right where it used to be, I grew up about two blocks from there. Got my first fedora from Gary, and several cowboy hats over the years. Took an old American Hat Co. Western in there in the late 80s, and Gary got excited, said he thought it was from when he worked the... -
Movie hats
Yep, "Keep the change, Bob." One of my favorites, worth seeing for the character actors alone. Chill Wills is hilarious. -

Movie hats
I agree. The cast of Seven Samurai could probably kick some butt. -
Johnson Leather M-200 Jacket
I'm in line for a jacket based on the M200. They seem to be running a bit behind, I'm nearly three weeks behind schedule on my fit jacket. I believe Alan said one of his staff had been sick. If you're a normal sized guy, which I am not, you might even find something you like on one of the...- frussell

Schott Leather Quality
As a University of Texas graduate who was raised on Okie jokes, I'm just glad he could spell communists, and Californians.- frussell

Are we sure those aren't just donkeys? If they're mules, they sure have gotten better looking nowadays. -
J. Robert Oppenheimer Fedora
Or he got rained on a lot. Many of my old cowboy hats took on a brim curl at the rear after repeated wearings in wet weather over many years, and drying on my head with no reshaping. My grandfather's hats all ended up the same way. This can happen to a hat that is not babied, blocked or... -

New Custom Jacket from Johnson Leathers
I was in San Francisco last week for work, and found out I was staying about a block away from the shop, so I emailed ahead of time to see if Alan could fit me while I was in town. I'm home now, waiting for the mockup jacket to come in a few weeks. Alan couldn't have been nicer, and I'm...- frussell

Moontheloon - perfect proportions on that cowboy hat, suits you to a "T." Wear it in good health. Frank -
Your top ten hats of other Loungers
I used to really like all of Lefty's and Handlebar Bart's, don't see them around much anymore. He's only a "lounger" by association, but I'm jealous of my three year old's collection. I'd kill to have any of them in my size. He's finally able to wear some, and has been sporting the vintage... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Nothing smells the same as a wet hat, especially if you've been working with livestock and gotten it really dirty. Like a wet dog wearing a wool sweater with alfalfa sprinkled on top. Just wish I got to smell it more often. Been pretty dry here. Still my favorite way to break in a new hat... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Really impressive in present, especially when you consider they're doing high speed precision passes and moves while mounted sidesaddle. Thanks for that, Chamuco. We get the rare escaramuza exhibition here in SoCal once in a while. My grandpa's second wife apparently used to compete, so if... -

Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
I'd buy it just for Montie Montana's signature, as he was a close family friend. I wouldn't be surprised if those two ended up with carouselvic, unless he's the one selling them. He's got at least one like that, although in better shape. -
The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.
Thanks for that great video link Joao. Had to watch it a few times to make sure I didn't see my grandpa, as he was bronc riding on the rodeo circuit in those days. Frank -
9mm or 45cal
Almost sounded like you live in California for a minute. It gets tougher every year to buy anything fun, firearms-wise out here. Lots of sellers won't even ship here. As to 9mm, I like revolvers more than semi-auto, so the new Ruger LCR 5-shot 9mm was a good option for me, especially since...- frussell

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Decades ago, I took a hat my grandfather had given me to get reblocked by Gary. He got excited when he examined it, and said he thought it might have been some of his work, when he worked the line at American Hat Co., and offered to buy it from me. I had to say no, as it was a gift from my... -
Johnson Leathers custom 1930 Levi reproduction
This is pretty tempting. I'll be a few blocks away for a conference in the summer (without the wife to supervise my spending), and I might have to drop by Alan's shop and get measured up. I'm hard to fit through email, according to my previous two Aero experiences, so this would be a good...- frussell
