    Who are your Role Models?

    Being quite secure with not only my values but my decisions and opinions, I've never felt the need for a "Role Model". However, there have been literally hundreds of "men who's character I admire" both throughout history and in my personal life that I have learned a great deal from and...

    Thank you sir, that was my intent. :) My intent in posting was not to show off my boots, but to illustrate the fact that if Doug C wanted to have a pair made to look like the boots he admires in Giant, he can.

    Dean's Boots in Giant ?

    Blucher makes all my boots,.....if you have a photo or just an idea, Smitty can make them. You pick the toe-box, hight, heal, leather, stitching style and color,.....everything. These all started as nothing more than an idea in my head.

    Stetson 100 to Optimo

    With the exception of one, all of my vintage hats have gone to Optimo for a complete re-furbish. Each time when they received the hat Tiffini called me to discuss it with me and explain things like; "We'll try to clean it up but the stain may not come out." "We won't be able to do anything...

He is the now the proud owner of a completely re-furbished fedora that once was his father-in-law's vintage Dobbs 20 from the 1950's that we had...

    Having been an avid hunter for most of my life I've had the opportunity to sample countless wild game dishes,.....when I was younger I enjoyed most of them and shared them with family members and many of my friends.

    Post New Hats Here!

    Looks good on you! I've got three of their hats and love them. The lack of the snap on the front can be a good thing, I like to kick mine back off the brim or over to the side for a different look every now and then. Not all the time,....but every now and then. :D

    Brad, I too use pintos most of the time, but I assumed they were talking about white beans. Not positive mind you, but most bean recipes I've seen from up north use them.
