Christmas party for the Old West Roundtable group tonight. I'll be wearing this Resistol Stagecoach with my "Billy" fringe suede coat I bought in 1969 after seeing "Easy Rider".

Great hat and jacket Jack! Other than being nine-years-old in 1969, I can't imagine fitting into anything I bought in my young adulthood. Props!
Both are nice HJ but that jacket is super.

Very nice.
I would want a beaded hatband like that.

Thanks guys. For me the jacket started out as my hippie jacket but morphed over into my Western jacket.
Joao, the beaded hatband pattern is snake skin. The taller crown needed a wider band.

Anyone watching "Godless" on Netflix? Some of the western hats I've noticed on the show look great, and out of the ordinary for regular westerns. One of the female leads wears a great hat.

I always heard the stolen Captain America bike ended up in a private collection in Wichita.

If you're ever down this way, take an afternoon to stroll through the Barber museum. I don't know if he has THE one, but there is one amongst his 1,200 or so other bikes. It's parked right above the main entrance.I always heard the stolen Captain America bike ended up in a private collection in Wichita.

I think there are lawsuits that still get filed from time to time, over those bikes & replicas. Maybe not so much now that Dan Haggerty has died since he was the one behind most of the misrepresentations.
I've got a bit of a goof to undo.
I wanted to change my hatband on my Stetson Skyline, so I took the advice of the Boot Barn hat "specialist" who suggested I remove the original felt band and use hobby glue to affix the new band. After realizing the new band didn't look right, the specialist said to just steam the glue to remove the band. That removal part worked fine, but there is plenty of residual glue still on the hat. I've tried to peel it off, scrape it off with a sharp blade, sponge, etc... to no avail.
Have I really goofed things up or is there a way to remove glue from 6X beaver? I can try to find a thicker black felt band to cover it but I'd like to see if I can non-invasively remove the remnants of glue.

I once removed dried glue from a garage sale hat. It took hours of scraping with fingernails, followed by some 1500 grit wet or dry sand paper.

Did you loose a lot of the actual hair/felt? That looks amazing!I once removed dried glue from a garage sale hat. It took hours of scraping with fingernails, followed by some 1500 grit wet or dry sand paper.
