    Buckaroo Hatters ''I Saw The Light'' movie news.

    They did not want to use factory made hats, and really did not want them for the western hats needed, because the boxed western hats now days are not even close to the hats worn in 1946 to 1953. I forgot who but I think John B. in Knoxville when at the hat shop one trip gave me some western...

    Western, anyone?

    They have to be done that way in order to meet the requirements that is needed for a movie, there is no way they can find all the hats needed for the man actors and their stunt doubles, so they have to add the stains and make the new clothes also to have the same aged look.

    My stains are not painted on, l was taught how do distress from several ward robe companies that work with the major motion picture world. Major Moore
