    I have a Charlie 1 Horse very similar to that one except in black. I've been meaning to replace the beaded hatband with a fedora style ribbon. I would never replace the lining because it was autographed by Chris LeDoux back around 1992 when he started getting mainstream popularity with the...

    Indy hat post em up

    Granted I could be considered a nutter on just about any subject I take a keen interest in to almost being obsessed with learning what I can about it in a very short amount of time. But then it fades to an even flow and balances out with all the other things I learn. So it goes with COW & The...

    Thank you Beaver Brands

    My very first fedora was a BB bought in a little shop in Virginia City, Nevada. It's a fairly nice off the shelf model. The felt isn't bunny butt soft but it is nice to handle and weathers fairly well. It's been worn in the snow several time without getting soggy or wilting. So far I like their...

    Indy hat post em up

    That be the one!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap Man that is a sharp looking lid! I dig on the style of the day for that shot. The glasses really make it. Yes I still have the pattern, and I think I can talk her into making another. The big problem came when the notched collar had to be sewn & then...

    Nutria blended felt...

    Well that sure is a nice looking lid Mr. Range, there is no doubt about that. And we would be very excited about seeing a dress fedora in the classic "Golden Era" style, to be sure & certain. But one thing is on my mind (and I think a few others here) what is the nutria blend? Is it a fur blend...

    Nutria blended felt...

    Well, what ever the case, be it a "process" or just a fur blend from the nutria, I for one will love to find out. It's kind of silly, but I would dig on it if it was a fur blend from a swamp rat. It would make it a bit more special in a funny sort of way. Anyway I would still love to know the...

    Indy hat post em up

    :offtopic: Sorry to say gentlemen, that vest is a one-off. I bought the Vogue pattern and the wool herringbone on ebay and then my woman (actually my better half) made it for me. There was a bit of crying and a lot of cussing involved but it did get made. She did a fantastic job of it and I tell...

    Nutria blended felt...

    That's basically what a beaver is too. I also head at one point they also used the fur from fresh water otters at one time. But since they're too cute & playful of a river rat, that practice stopped. Cheers! Dan

    Thanks R.! It's too bad I couldn't get up on the conning tower and lash myself to the periscope.lol That would have been a great shot.lol I certainly hope that this secret does get out. Camptowns are a wonderful hat. It has great classic lines indeed and wears like iron. And as windy as it was...

    Nutria blended felt...

    Well, if nutrias were used before for blending in with beaver, I see no reason it can't be done again. Like JT said it could create a new source of income for some folks and help reduce a problem. It's not like they're endangered and if like Carter said, they're that far north they'll be a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yep, a Camptown 1936 Fieldmaster.:eusa_clap That's Lori's Diner in San Francisco. They have a lot of great stuff in there along with an old Edsel in the middle of the place. Good food too. Cheers! Dan

    No problem! RBH has a few posted of this particular straw in another thread & someone over at COW has one in white that looks rather sharp as well. Cheers! Dan

    Nutria blended felt...

    Hello! I was reading the thread from HATCO and noticed a question about Nutria. I may be totally wrong on this but here it goes. I was watching one of those Bizzare Food shows with Andrew Zimmer and they were down in Louisiana, in the swamps hunting a rodent called a nutria. This rodent is...

    Greetings

    Welcome Mr. Range!:eusa_clap I quite sure there will be mutual sharing of answers to questions in the near future. I think the two concerns I would have with the current production models is the quality of the felt (will it wilt in the rain or bounce back similar to a vintage lid?) and the...
