Western, anyone?

Walden…well, the felt and liner is Walden, but everything else is from my friend Rick @humanshoes of the Phoenix Hat Co. We all miss seeing Rick around these parts.

I was the only bidder on this Rancheros Visitadores scarf/neckerchief slide from 1952. Silver with a bit of gold. Just in case I get invited to the ride in May.

Not as cool at Greg's or Vic's hats, but it's a start.

Nice find, Bob. I'm sure yours will clean up nicely.

I just finished reworking this Circa 1980 Stetson 4X. It had a generous slightly tapered 6 inch crown.
I re-flanged or should I say removed any flange and brought to open crown. The result is a just under 3" completely flat brim and a hand done porkpie crown. Crown now breaks at just over 4 1/2".
I added the circa 1900 Stetson Hat pin which fit perfect over the ribbon.......I will be/am wearing it today!

EDIT: Forgot to add pin close up......

Thanks, Joe. One of my largest brims. Makes me feel a bit like @Yahoody or @Joao Encarnado
I sure miss working with Rick.

No, not on this one.....came from a SAS/Shooting Sports background....ribbon is "glued on" so I cannot will not claim that evil. I sort of liked it, coupled with not wanting to tackle the removal at this time, (I said "Screw it") and left alone for now......

Road trip to Phoenix. Stopped at the Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brewery for the best onion rings I've had. The ribeye was great too. They even had a place to hang the Gannon Big Four while we ate.

And for some reason I can't get the picture to post. So try, try again.

 

[BobHufford]

Not my size, but I thought it would make a cool display piece.

Big Four brim flange.

 

[Redshoes51]

Not a Tom Mix but a reposting of this Knox Stagecoach refurb that everyone's already seen. It's a pretty big hat with a 7 inch open crown and a 4 1/2 inch brim with a kettle curl...

I mentioned trying your technique for reshaping a hat... the one I want to work is very similar to this one of yours... Thank you for your input/feedback on how you shape them.

You're welcome. Have you tried it yet?

So you didn't try to eat that 52 oz steak?

 

[ILB Frank]

So you didn't try to eat that 52 oz steak?

It's 72oz! And salad. And a side. And a roll. So... No. Maybe in my younger days.
I was afraid the restaurant would be more hype than good, but it was actually very, very good food and not at all overpriced for what you get.
If you swing through Amarillo, give it a go.

 

[glider]

Yes, it is a good place to stop, I've eaten there.

Thought I chime in with my remuda of cowboy type lids

top left is a bespoke 100% beaver made by a local German hat maker to my design
top right is a LBJ Resistol 7x with original box from 1963 which was a present from Lyndon B Johson to one of Ludwig Erhard‘s team
two in front are my palms: Gus and Obbie from SunBody Hats
love this hats and they do well in protecting me from sun and rain … and they look nice and special

 

[carouselvic]

I would love to see more of the Resistol (inside and out) when you have time.
