Western, anyone?
Sorry for the repetition. ;) Pull-on boots just don't work well for me, so I'm always glad to see lace-ups getting a little publicity too. I've never "worn out" a pair to the point that they needed to be rebuilt or replaced, but have had a couple of pair re-soled at least once. One pair I... -
Western, anyone?
A fine hat - and boots! (As much as I appreciate all the well-done western boots seen here on the Lounge, lace-up packers are still my favorite "westerns" from the standpoint of comfortable wear). -
So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Well, actually, that’s what I had in mind (although I have some of that type on my own side, too). ;)- Woodtroll

:D:D I'm going to have to remember that one, and use it at the earliest opportunity. I'm sure it will liven things up around the house!- Woodtroll

M.C. Gannon Hat Company
Ha! There's GOT to be a joke in there somewhere. Where's Fruno when you need him? Seriously, welcome to the board. Michael has made me two custom hats, and I am extremely pleased with both. As others have already said, he's a great guy to work with, and seems eager to make sure you get the hat... -

Western, anyone?
Yes, I can believe seeing an 18-year-old Tanya Tucker sing would indeed have been very cool! :) -

The dawdlers here are the Prius drivers, or the Subaru drivers who festoon the entire rear of their car with so many bumper stickers that it would take an hour to read them all... I've never understood what it is with Subarus and bumper stickers.- Woodtroll

Musician's hats
That's too bad. I really enjoyed his songwriting and singing. And like RBH posted above, "Live Forever" is the song that I always immediately identify with him. -
DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
He was a great writer, and this is the very song I think of when his name is mentioned. I hope, somewhere, he is living forever...- Woodtroll

Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread
^^^Yeah, some jaybird in a recent thread posted a question supposedly asking about “work boots”, specifically White’s vs. Wescos, and I told him my experience with both. Then he proceeded to tell me that White’s aren’t even work boots and wanted to explain why my experience was not pertinent. I...- Woodtroll

Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread
Here is a pair of Whites Smokejumpers in Red Dog oiltan work leather. Smooth uppers, roughout lowers. The first photo is of the boots a day old, the second is of the same boots at about eight months old after being worn several days a week in outside work. After several cleanings and greasings...- Woodtroll

Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
Very nice addition, Bill. I love that color! -

That's a real loss. He was a great songwriter and a real character. -

Show us an old photo of you under a felt hat when you were young!
Haha! Yeah, it wasn't a conscious effort to "look like Hank", it was just the fairly standard look for young men at the time and place I was growing up. Not everyone wore brimmed hats as a habit, but a lot of us did. As you know, the older traditions seem to hang on a lot longer in the rural areas. -
Show us an old photo of you under a felt hat when you were young!
Unfortunately, I don't think a photo of that screen survives. I'd have to dig back through some real old albums to even come up with a photo of that truck. Although I'm not wearing a hat in this photo, that's a Hank "Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound" tour T-shirt hiding behind the flannel, and a... -
Show us an old photo of you under a felt hat when you were young!
Boy, that photo looks very familiar to me, except my favorite Ford pickup body style was the '71. I drove my first one all through high school, college, and for a good spell after I got married. Three-speed on the column with a bench seat - that truck had all KINDS of room in the cab! As a tall... -

I like those old 33s, especially those with the brass gears. Built to run smooth for a long time!- Woodtroll

Akubra Overload
Thanks, Brent. I saw that too, and I'm sorely tempted, but I have a brown RM Williams Akubra that I like a lot which is almost identical to this hat. That's an awful good price on the Heritage grade, though... I'm trying to decide if the felt upgrade is worth the price, since they won't be...
