    Barbara Stanwyck article in current New Yorker

    I always liked Barbara Stanwyk. I thought she very attractive -- and great legs. Her personality in film generated an amazing sex appeal. Just watch her in Ball Of Fire or The Lady Eve and you'll see what I mean. She had a lot of funny lines in those -- they are my two favorite Stanwyk...

    Looking To Buy A Copy Of This Hat

    I like this one. I'd like to get one just like it, and in the same hat color and ribbon color, in fur felt. How would the more experienced loungers describe it's crown height (I think it's a "C"), and general characteristics? It has a 2 1/2" brim. I'd want it in fur felt. I like what...

    Dorfman Pacific has had it too good for too long...

    I Bought A Fur Felt One For years I wanted a hat like my grandfather's. I didn't know about bashing them yourself until I joined the lounge. I just knew that his was fur felt and I had clear memories of what it looked like. Lo and behold, the fur felt Dorfman Pacific had everything right...

    Templeform

    It seems like I remember a Lights Out or Dimension X episode with that theme. And the guy who originally owned the hat was a murderer. I don't know ... gee that seems familiar. [huh]

    The Johnny Ringo Hat

    Just two more reference views of the Johnny Ringo hat and then I'll wait for someone to post one they've made or purchased. These are from Mr. Knudson's website. (The URL had been posted earlier in this thread.) These views show the distressed version of the hat. There are more views at the...

    The Johnny Ringo Hat

    Yep! That's what I was thinking. Or this guy who brings back fond memories for me (The guy on the right as well for that matter ;) ) :

    The Johnny Ringo Hat

    Everyone looked good in that film -- especially Dana Delaney. Mmmm .... Dana Delaney .... Oh! Where was I? Oh yeah. In serial cowboy films of the past it seems like they often put the comic relief character in a hat with the brim turned up in front. For a long time I associated that brim...

    Are you a Fogey, Old Boy, Old-Boy-Hip, Hip or a Slick

    Thank you. We have several of these around West Michigan which retain the basic structure but the pumps are gone and there's siding or some other treatment. I wish I could convert them all back. :)

    Are you a Fogey, Old Boy, Old-Boy-Hip, Hip or a Slick

    I would be "old boy" with some "fogey." Interesting article.

    Actually shocked by TCM!

    Hey Amy Jeanne! Did you happen to record any of the "Crime Doctor" movies TCM has been running? I wish I could find those on DVD but they don't seem to exist. Great hats in that movie.

    The Johnny Ringo Hat

    I love this movie. It looks like a lot of folks here at the lounge do as well. Nice info on the accuracy of the clothing, Mark G. DanielJones gave us that link to Hatmaker Bill Knudson's website. Mr. Knudson makes what looks like a very accurate copy of the Jonny Ringo hat and he says on...

    The Johnny Ringo Hat

    Yep! I love 'em. A great looking automobile (especially from the back) that deserved a better chance in the marketplace.

    What's cooking?

    I wish I had noticed this topic earlier. We love to cook extra large turkey or ham on the holidays just so we see can how many meals we can get out of the leftovers. Very frugal and 1940's I would think (if not historically as well). With turkey (not counting sandwiches) we start with...

    Just finished this hat for a customer

    Wow! This is great work. It's really got the right look. Great job!

    The Johnny Ringo Hat

    That's weird !?!! In the last two pics of of Johnny Ringo the hat band and knot treatment is switched to the opposite side. I wonder why that was done? At first I thought my computer had somehow "mirrored" the image when I captured it, but the brim curl is still in the same place and the...

    The Johnny Ringo Hat

    There was some discussion on another thread dealing with cowboy hat conversions about the hat worn by Johnny Ringo in the movie Tombstone. Several people expressed interest in converting one of their cowboy hats to this style. The hat is unique looking in that it has a lopsided crown and a...

    The Conversion Corral

    Howdy Bart! Don't be mad.:) Sometimes folks like to take something they never use and make it into something they can use. Plus they get a little taste of what it's like to shape felt and the satisfaction of making something themselves. Maybe it could inspire some folks to learn the art...
