Western, anyone?
Yea, I checked his page but couldn't find this specific style. I have 5 or 6 that I've converted into fedoras since it's so hard to find tall crown ones in my size. I'm leaving this one the way it is since I've got plenty conversions. They are great hats. Dobbs also made the Stagecoach line. I... -
Western, anyone?
This is the auction picture, but it will give you a general idea. -
Western, anyone?
I just won a used but good looking brown Stagecoach in 7 5/8. I got it for a steal and no one has to worry about me chopping the brim. It appears to be a 3 1/2-4" brim. My only plans for it is to clean it and put a Gus bash on it and leave the brim relatively flat, maybe a slight raise on the... -

The Conversion Corral
I have 2 hat shapers from them and they work great. I believe T Jones has one or two also. I recommend the Straight Sided Dome. It's very similar to the 52 but you should contact T Jones for confirmation. -

Western, anyone?
Cool thanks! I hope someone here finds it. It's a beautiful hat. -
Western, anyone?
I don't know what the rules are for listing OFAS auctions, but I just came across a beautiful black Stetson No. 1 that needs a little TLC, but it's still got plenty of potential. I guess you guys can send me a PM and I'll send you the link. I'd get it but it appears to be too small. The seller... -
The Conversion Corral
Yea, I've already contacted him. Once I learn how to sew in the sweats, I'll be ordering some from him. -
The Conversion Corral
I wasn't going to say anything, but you are right on point @milandro . There's no one for miles who could even pretend to know how to work on a hat, western or else. Which is a sad thing to say living in Texas. Luckily, we have a shoe repair place here that has been in the same family for over... -
The Conversion Corral
I appreciate the link man, but the pictures are horribly out of focus. Is there another option? -

The Conversion Corral
I looked around but couldn't really discover a satisfactory answer to this question. So, I figured this was the best place to ask. Is there a place I can find a good step by step instruction on how to sew a sweat into a hat? I'm very familiar with saddle stitching leather, but this appears to be... -
The Conversion Corral
Several of my conversions need new sweatbands. Where should I purchase the new ones and what tips are there for everyone to share? This is especially aimed at you T Jones. You seem to have a boat load of experience in this sphere. -
Moustaches-Yes or No
I say go with the moustache, but break yourself of the lip pursing. Moustaches are just like anything new you are wearing, you have to own it. If people notice you are looking self conscious about the 'stache, they are going to say something and it's usually something negative. I personally...- jswindle2

The wrist watch.
I agree 100%. Especially about the size. I have a wrist between 7 1/2-7 3/4 but still prefer sizes 40 and under. This giant watch thing needs to go.- jswindle2

The Conversion Corral
I was at my folks place yesterday and they received a giant box of toilet paper. Fed ex were the delivery service and the box had been smashed in on one side. The packing tape that holds the flaps closed was ripped all the way off, basically leaving the box wide open. Luckily, it was t.p. but it... -
Do women hate men's hats?
I wasn't a hat wearer until about 2005 when I got sun stroke. Ever since then, I've worn a hat anytime I'm outside. I wear anything from a Panama during the summer for daily wear, a wool newsboy while walking the dog in winter, all the way to the high crown 20's - 30's fedora for daily wear in...- jswindle2

Bush Jackets
I have several TAG shirts and a safari coat. They are great quality! I wish they were softer but I can deal with it. Perfect clothes for a Texas summer.- jswindle2

Oh well, my first name's Jerry so you were pretty close. -
The Conversion Corral
I have a 2 inch high ironing block(2 roughed out oval 1x10 yellow pine pieces glue together) that I made to iron the brim/crown break line and to flatten the brim on my conversions. I got the shape for that by tracing my #51 hat block. I started to make the new block shape from that but switched...
