Video Roy Rogers Showing how to Block Hat with Dusty Filming

[Neophyte]

Whew, that got me pumped! Too bad I don't have any hats with more than a 5.5'' crown lol.

great video, had to add that to my favorites.

You tube is my favorite teacher. I do hot glass work (lampworking) as a hobby (I like to make marbles), and I learned everything from one book and a bunch of you tube.

Awesome! Thanks for pointing this out. I did not recognize the Resistol box, but I gotta admit, have never seen a Stetson box like that . . .

Just got back from seeing True Grit - highly recommend it.

I see someone had posted previously, sorry for the duplicate so I deleted it, but it is worth bumping up for those that haven't seen it.

No problem Fedoralover, I added this to the sticky'' Links to important hat threads''.

Now this is cool a thread I started made to the sticky important links thread. I am so happy. I think I need to go out and buy a new hat to celebrate

With a 6 1/2 inch crown I assume. lol

I'd love to know the quality of hat that was. The crown obviously had less stiffner in it than the brim, unless he soaked it enough in water to really loosen it up. Great video all the way around.

Post of the year!

Absolutely priceless. Frame it and put in on the wall.

I watched today. That was great.

Looks like I know what I'm doing tonight! Hope the tweaks I have planned for my open road turnout as spiffy as Roy Rogers' trademarks double tear.

I love how he says, "Happy trails" at the end.

Nice to see my old hero Roy Rogers is still appreciated by the more discerning members of the younger generation.

Great Video.
I was a bit shocked. I had EXTREME respect for Roy Rogers and know he was a great gentleman with no "airs" about him but I really would have expected his staff would handled all his hat issues. To see him working that hat was incredible. It showed me that it was FAR from his first ride in that saddle.
I have had Resistol westerns for ages and that from that time frame I would say that is a Diamond Horseshoe hat. They were called 20X Diamond Horseshoe hats in the early nineties and it would have had a two cord ribbon with a faux diamond studded horseshoe pin on the ribbon knot. I'm pretty sure I saw the red symbol of a DH liner in one of his motions with the hat and the light tan sweatband wasn't in that many Resistols then.

How to block a cowboy hat like Roy.

I came across this on youtube. Video of Roy Rogers blocking a hat for his son Dusty.

[RBH]

Yep... it even listed in the ''Links To Important Hat Forum Threads''

But its a fun clip... needs a bump!

For anyone interested. Roy Rogers still comes on several times a week on Dish Network TV on channel 231 RFDTV. I think Direct has this channel also. A lot of cowboy and horse shows and some pretty cool Austrian Fedoras on their polka shows also!
