    FS: Aero Sonoma Racer FQHH Tartan liner tagged 42 but smaller $600

    I was asked for Pit to Pit measurements, so I took the best I could but can't hold tape & operate phone camera at the same time. If I flatten out to the vent holes & pull the tape tight I get 23 1/2" but this fits like a tight 40 not the tagged 42. Included waist measure to show the taper too.

    I got a couple of the Beaver Brand hats when they shut down, 1 an Open Road clone & a felt blank that I had made into a Boss of the Plains replica by a custom hatter. I also grabbed a couple of Biltmores when they sold off before being acquired by DP, both OR clones. The OR clone Beaver Brand is...

    Look for symmetry = do some research on the Golden Ratio about what is pleasing to the eye. Most hat suitable postings talk about having your facial shape & hat in symmetry with the brim being the dividing line. Cowboy hats throw all that out the window but a fedora is different. The crown...

    The Conversion Corral

    Western weight is typical heavier than dress weight but some vintage westerns are lighter than their modern brethren. I look for older model Resistol or Stetson western hats that give me enough brim to trim & crown to crease. Look for vintage Adam & other lesser know western model...I have found...

    Did I do a bad thing? Anyway, it worked!

    3 softballs zipped into a pillow cover in the dryer with my Vanson Enfield tumbled with no heat. Lots of noise that annoyed SWMBO in addition to her displeasure in what I was doing to her dryer...She'd probably go for a few swings at the jacket if I was in it....

    The way that horse's head is makes me think it's green, not giving his face, especially in the second photo.
