Western, anyone?

Thank you.

Here are some photos from a photo shoot we did recreating the Gunfight at the OK Corral. We filmed it on the same spot where it was filmed for the movie "Tombstone" and even had Peter Sherayko (Texas Jack in the movie), as well as some other actors from the film in it. You can see some of the hats I made for it, including the one Peter is wearing. Photos courtesy of Bill Bellah, and Guy Atchley.

Love that, Jack. That's a dying art.

Love that, Jack. That's a dying art.

It's probably not real cactus but it's well done & has a good look to it. It's small or I would buy it. Note it's let out to the last hole now.

New term for the newby! I feel like Patrick in Auntie Mame when she gives him a notebook for words he doesn't understand.

"Well, now, read me all the words you don't understand."
"'Libido,' 'inferiority complex,' 'stinko,' 'blotto,' 'free love,' 'bathtub gin,' 'monkey glands,' 'Karl Marx.' Is he one of the Marx Brothers?"​

This is my beat up western converted to an Outback style by Mike at NW Hat Co:

As BB said, it's definitely a dying art. Very time consuming & the thread is no longer made from strands of dried cactus. Somewhere back in the pages of the cowboy boot thread is a pair of piteado boots I own.

Found them! They're gorgeous. I can't wear boots unless they lace up (real high instep) but I do appreciate beauty and craftsmanship.

My grandfather was a big fan and collector of this stuff. He had tons of belts, hatbands, and one very intricate charro saddle. I've got a few pieces myself. He was a huge Mexican horse-culture fan, and taught us all to appreciate the history and artistry of charro culture. He introduced hundreds of gringos to Mexican trick roping and horse tack, of which he had a well-regarded historical collection going back to colonial Mexico. Nice to see it here. It has definitely gotten harder to find the "real" thread stuff anymore, lots of cotton, nylon, and poly out there. Only the authentic stuff ages beautifully. Frank

Keen hatband and boots there! It is indeed a fine thing to see such work continued, or at least preserved. I'm met a few people who worked braiding horse hair long ago. It's something I'm keen to learn myself.

I've looked this site over several times in the last year and it's impossible to tell what's real or not as they claim to offer both. The person responsible for writing up the descriptions makes me feel good about my Southern E.
