    The Conversion Corral

    Here's my take on this..... Not all western felts are created equal. That being said, let me explain. I have owned/own western felt hats from the pre-1940 period, 1950- 1960 period, and 1960 to current period. Western felts were not always the heavy/meaty felt bodies that they are today. In...

    Here's just a few gig photos from the last year or so. I always wear a hat. If its a Country gig I wear a western hat, if its a wine bar/restaurant its a dress hat, if its a blues/rock gig....I wear the hat that represents the mood im in before the gig.

    The Conversion Corral

    Here's a 70's/80's Resistol 3X conversion that I just finished. I have converted it a couple of times, but I am finally satisfied with the final product. I wanted to give it a 1900's western dress hat look with a thin ribbon. I blocked it with a Graeco block which is straighter than any...
