Here is another one of my recently departed Uncle "Bud". More of a biker on a horse vibe...or a cowboy cross-zip leather jacket.

Looks so to be the same boots in both pics. Wonder if he’s wearing Hyer’s?

Finally got around to putting a new ribbon and bow work on my 3X Resistol refurb...I completely took this one apart and reblocked it and gave it a Montana Pinch with a Mule Kick, similar to Costner's Open Range hat. The brim, though, I curled and shaped more similar to Selleck's Down Under hat, (I liked the brim shape better on Selleck's hat than the one on Costner's). It now sports a matching 1 3/16 wide ribbon....

I admit, I don't know jack about Western hats, own a few, but don't know much about them, but this hat looks great.

Thank you, Hector! This is how the hat originally looked with its tall tapered up crown that looked like a Pyramid and a taco looking brim. I stripped the hat down and reblocked it and did a complete make over on it.

Just saw this online. I remember this picture from sometime ago. It's the Beatles, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison from 1961, clad in black leather jackets and Cowboy boots, similar to what your uncle is wearing. It must have been a style that was popular among some back in the day. Just found it interesting.
