    Killing mold on felt hats

    What is the best course of action for removing/killing mold that has taken hold on a fur felt hat? Currently trying to perform a rescue on two Resistol Stagecoachs that were exposed to water for several days. As of this writing, I have the afflicted party drying out on the carpet a little ways...

    WTB B-10 jacket sz 38

    I was extremely disappointed to find out that Bronson's B-10 has been apparently discontinued. When I inquired to the company directly, they responded that they had no intention of restocking. :confused: So I now find myself on the market for a B-10 from elsewhere. I have looked The reason I...

    A generic eBay vest - I'm tempted, help me

    Maybe it's the whiskey talking, but I'm half-tempted to just buy one of these things and see what it looks like in person. https://www.ebay.com/itm/393123697121?var=662031874271 This vest pops up on my eBay feed ALL the flubbing time. Obviously some sort of generic China factory piece, since...

    How to stop bleeding dye

    I am becoming frustrated. I have a collection of Resistol Stagecoach westerns. The felt on these old hats is great - I have several - but the black one (and only the black one) insists on running dye whenever it gets stuck in the rain. The others can be soaked in rain or shower-reshaped at whim...

    WTB: Resistol Stagecoach in 7 3/8

    Been wearing a pair of Stagecoaches as my everyday work hats on ranches and farms the last several years. Have become so attached to them I've decided I want to continue the collection. Google searching for these rare hats for sale led me to a thread here, and I've learned that several members...

    Small heads rejoice! Several hats for sale.

    Someone with a small head is about to get lucky. These hats were all purchased during another time, when I was buying many hats too small for me and operating under the delusion that I could stretch them to fit. Many years later, I need to accept reality and pass these to someone who will...

    The Confusion of Mr. Krenshaw (a short film)

    Hey old buddies, I haven't hung around these parts regularly in a long while. Sorry to be a stranger. I've been off living in a tent in the great North. However I wanted to drop in and share a film that I think you all would really enjoy. This is something I made with my old crew in 2016. It...

    A 1930's short film on GoFundMe - "The Confusion of Mr. Krenshaw"

    It has been a long while since I've posted among my old friends here, only because due to a change in lifestyle I am not much of a computer user any more these days. But gosh, just poking around a few threads here, it sure is swell to see some familiar names again. I wanted to briefly share a...

    For sale: Collar Bar - $8

    Swank 50 collar bar, Patent No. 75818. Some very minor tool marks on the backside where it appears someone tried to adjust the severity of the clips. Only noticeable under scrutiny on the back side. Kind of a silver appearance overall, with touches of gold in the right light. I would call...

    Help me find a backpack!

    I'm now taking my motorcycle to work on weekday mornings. This didn't seem like it would be a big change for me, but I didn't realize how much the little things tend to stack up. When I go to work I like to bring a water bottle and a bag of trail mix or something of that nature, as well as an...

    A general consensus on the quality of Resistol's cowboy models

    Generally speaking, are the vintage (1980's and earlier) Resistol cowboy hats considered desirable? We're talking the common models here, the everyday "X beaver" cattleman creases that pop up on eBay like blades of grass. I'm on the market for a new work hat and I'm trying to avoid the...

    Parking structures in the 1930's; what's the scoop?

    Hey fellas. Bit of an obscure request here. I'm writing a treatment for an independent film set in the early 1930's. We are at the point in production where we are beginning to scout out shooting locations. The director of the film wants a fight scene/shootout that takes place in a parking...

    A $5 Gem?

    Today I remembered why I like the Goodwill store. I hadn't been in a long, long time, figuring my luck was run out since I haven't found anything worth noting in almost a year. But today I decide to randomly stop in and take a look around. I find an unassuming, dirty old cowboy hat thrown...

    Akubra Boss of the Plains vs. Akubra Campdraft

    Hey fellas - Word on the street is that Jerekson is thinking about adding Akubra no. 5 to his collection. I know what I want to do. I want to get a hat with a wide brim and a tall untapered crown (I could block it myself if it comes down to that). My ideal specs are a 5 3/4 in crown and about...

    30's-50's Varsity and Letterman jackets

    Did a search on these and found a number of threads, but none of them really "took off" so to speak, so I really didn't get that much information. I'm getting more into the 50's scene, and in so doing I'm now on the lookout for a real classic-looking letterman jacket. I think I prefer the...

    Definitive/cheap source for the Akubra Snowy River

    Hey fellas, I've got some cash to blow and I'm trying to decide between a couple of new hats. One I'm considering is the Snowy River - but holy heck! I can't seem to find anywhere that sells it for less than $130.00. I don't really want to wait around on eBay just hoping that one pops up if...

    The seven-button henley (a la Hugh Jackman in "Australia")

    It's apparently called a "Shearer's shirt", although any information under that name all but ceases to exist. It's a seven-buttoned short-sleeved henley with a straight collar. Looks like cotton if you ask me. Anybody know where we can find these? I think this would be a great article of...

    Akubra Territory - any thoughts on it?

    I'm considering an Akubra Territory as my next hat. I wanted something very iconic Australian, and this one seems to fit the bill. However, that 4' brim sort of has me worried. It's part of "the look" that I'm going for, but I think it might be overkill. Would I be better off with a Snowy...

    Leather peeling

    Is there any way this can be fixed?
