What's your take on this one, Brent? I've seen their straws up close, but never anything felt. They're mighty proud of them new.

Looks like a great way to end the decade, Cuz, and looking sharp while you did it.

Ended 2019 down in Montgomery, AL, under the short brimmed Open Road. Visited the grave of Hank Williams and stopped for a burger in one of his favorite restaurants.

It’s alright, Dale, but nothing special. I like the crown shape on this hat a lot, but the felt quality is about like you’d expect from a 1960s 4X. I have two from the company and I bought them both used. There’s no way I’d pay their retail prices.

Thanks, Cuz it was and I hope you enjoyed your time in the Capital city. Always enjoy seeing that jacket out and about.

Here's a quick and easy rework I did on an O'Farrell. I reblocked this one up two sizes, reshaped the brim, and just put a simple knotted thin ribbon on it. Not much back pain to work on this one. It's fashioned after some of the old T.V. Westerns hats of the '50s and '60s that I remember watching when I was a kid back in the day....

'Maverick' with James Garner was always my favorite T.V. Western.

Nice work on that one TJ! You nailed the look!

Thanks Dale, same to you. BTW for you and those that are interested, a good book about Hank Williams is "Hank" by Mark Ribowsky. I just listened to it on Audible a couple of months ago.

That could be a good look for my woomera when I tire of the open crown.

I bet that crease would look good your woomera.
