    I'm a new Member! Thanks

    A shared yearning Welcome abord. I identify with your urge to grasp for a piece of the past. We come from the same generation. I have always worn a hat, summer and winter. My first quality hat was a worn out Stetson that belonged to my uncle. He handed it down to me. It lookd like Jed...

    "Deadwood" hats

    I also loved the show but found the F word boring. The word served no purpose in charicter creation or plot development. I see it as a lack of trust by the writers/producers in the actors to convey charicter. In spite of the language, I found the series a tremendous metaphor for American...

    How to make a pencil roll by hand

    I believe that whenever a man hires another man to do something he is capable of doing and has the time to do, he looses a little bit of his dignity and disconnects a little from his soul. I try to do for myself until the task becomes too riskey. I am even willing to make a few mistakes if I...

    My latest ... a Resistol

    There are so many oppertunities to buy a fedora that shape, maybe not with that width of band. But the "before" picture hat is a rare find for a western. Not to take anything away from the work you did, but I lust for a hat with the rare "before" shape and ribbon.

    A hat observation...

    Any reason I couldn't buy a new shoe brush and use that on my hats? That's all I use, got it as a secret santa gift at work. It works great. I am more fussy about my boots being shined and my vest being clean than I am about my hat. I still wear my first new purchase Stetson cowboy hat...

    I reshaped a Stetson brim by steaming the brim, top and bottom and close to the crown and for a considerable period of time. Begin the taper at that point pressing the brim gently down at the desired angle. Move out to the edge of the brim incrementally. Once it dries it will reain the...
