Mike Hammer's hat.
Hi That looks really good, I'd do that, but without quite so much taper, otherwise perfect. Later -
Mike Hammer's hat.
Hi I have an idea that you're right if Mikael does it, or Art does it, but not it just anybody does it. I think that some people do Western hat bodies so that they don't accidentally waste a beaver dress body trying to stretch it. Later -
Mike Hammer's hat.
Hi Depending on your size, you may need to go to a cowboy weight hat, getting a 6 inch open crown and 3 inch brim in a dress felt ain't possible if I remember right. I asked Art Fawcett what the largest brim I could get with a 5.75 inch open crown was and he stated 2.75, 3 inches if it's a... -
Fedora Repairs circa 2020
Hi You're describing Buckaroo Hatters in Covington Tennessee. I live in Norman Oklahoma and took a friend of mine from work to Covington to get a new hat. Dan refers to Mike Moore's place as "The Adult Men's Day Care where you Buy Hats" No coffee machine though and now Dan's girlfriend wants... -

New VS Vintage Stetson Hats
Hi, OK, first of all, I completely understand that buffalo felt is coarse. The back of a buffalo is coarse, the belly of a bunny ain't, makes sense. Now, back to the whole wool felt thing. I don't get it, but I started looking stuff on buffalo felt and wool felt. Basically I don't understand... -
V-J Day 75th Anniversary (14 Aug)
Hi My Dad was in Panama, learning to do weather radar over Japan when the war ended. He was in the South Pacific from November 1942 until roughly April 1945 when he went to Panama. He was a huge proponent of the use of the atomic bomb which he thought had possibly saved his life and the lives... -
New VS Vintage Stetson Hats
Hi I looked up "Stetson Buffalo Hat" on Google and found that Boot Barn says that they're made of buffalo felt. Is the above statement stay away from Wool AND Buffalo hats? When I saw that i was wondering about a wool / buffalo felt blend. They're also priced like a wool hat which made me... -
Phoenix Hat Company
Hi, my second through 12th or so custom orders were also for Gus type cowboy hats, and 2 fedoras. I also have an EX-WIFE, which I deeply enjoy. Later -
Bush Jackets
Hi, while TRUE, but what's also true is that no one HOPED that shooting wolves would increase their numbers. I think that at least most African's value Elephants as a food source, tourist source, and/or hunting income source. No one thought of a wolf in any of those terms. I think a common...- 1961MJS

In Search Of: The Great Hot Dog Stand
Hi, OK, I was reading this thread again and was forced to hit Sonic for a foot long coney with tots, and a cherry Dr. Pepper. Possibly Norman's best, not great, but it did stifle the urge for a week or two. Later- 1961MJS

“WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...
WRT to the hollow point hat: Well, that's a hat you can't take on a flight to Vegas. The winged one, not sure where I could wear that one. Wrong kind of weird for cowboy action matches, not weird enough to be a fashion statement. Dang. Later -
Western, anyone?
Hey Yahoody, that's quite the hat, very Sam Elliot. Later -
Panama Hat Thread
That's a good look on you Alan. I like the hat, tall crown, wide brim, simple creasing, and a decent pug. Later -

Looking for a hat that wears this nice
Hi I would suggest the Akubra. I don't own one, but they aren't that expensive, and are supposed to be tough. Don't look at this as "getting a new hat dirty" look at it as "I have a new work hat." I have several outdoor hats that I don't worry about getting dirty. In fact, I wore a brand... -
Akubra slouch hat
Hi, Edward, you're in England, if it's the foggy part, I'd really opt for Bunny fur. My non-Akubra wool slouch hat shrunk quite a bit in the rain, and it is a copy of the hat used in Burma in WW2. I've worn almost all of my hats in the rain, including wearing one from Covington Tennessee (Mike... -
Bush Jackets
I think my semi-quotes of Capstick are based on my home country (and his) not letting you bring anything in except Buffalo and possibly Lion. Good information. I wouldn't hunt a Rhino based on Capstick's description of them. Blind and stupid at best. I read that lots of them were killed when...- 1961MJS

Bush Jackets
Hi, all of Peter Capstick's books are good. I would suggest Skipping the book on going on a Safari, it's very dated. Not that it isn't well written, but you can't hunt any of the Big 5 now except for Buffalo. Elephants are about gone, white or black Rhino's ARE gone (if memory serves), Lions...- 1961MJS

Bush Jackets
What, Ernst Hemingway never wore Suede? Karamojo Bell, Blixen, and Frederick Selous never wore Suede. I'm appalled at their lack of style. If it weren't for Peter Capstick's books, I wouldn't known those names at all. Heck, I haven't worn suede since 1974. Later- 1961MJS
