Ask a question, get an answer
You're welcome. I only have experience with a couple of these type hats but a piece of really stiff wire (think guitar string) is welded end to end creating a circle which is then sewn in place around the brim. You can imagine steel under tension in such a fashion. When you move a little here it... -

It's typical of those hats to have a wire reinforcement in the brim edge to aid in holding the shape. The brim can be straightened up some and the wrinkles and ripples smoothed with steam but you're at the mercy of the wire in shaping it. Shantung can be cleaned with a damp sponge and a small... -

I was wondering about the two guys as well. No mention of names anywhere that I could find. I wonder if the days of shops that size are over. Legendary closed a couple of years ago and looking around this morning, it looks like J. B. Hill has gone down. It was sold a couple of years ago.- Bamaboots

Cowboy Boots
Pretty cool, @mullitt. Finding something you prefer is most important and though simple, those boots are about as unique as they come for the era. White label Nocona's are rare enough now but this pair looks like a boot someone ordered when they did MTM/MTO boots. No toe wrinkles or bug, the...- Bamaboots

Sometimes we need to go back to the books. I’ve probably overlooked these a dozen times. Edit: From The Cowboy Boot Book by Tyler Beard.- Bamaboots

Cowboy Boots
I've looked around before and never located the pairs. I did find a pair of the Prince's. No mention of the maker but it was a Texas one. I'd say era dependent but yes, sir!- Bamaboots

How about that vintage western look
I started to post these in Cowboy Boots but I figured the name might be more familiar here. Not vintage in the sense of being old but they come from a shop that continues to produce show pieces with that vintage look and these appear to be Piteado, an art that's all but disappeared. If...- Bamaboots

Cowboy Boots
Unless you're a boot geek, collector or have had some TX boots made before 2017, you've probably not heard of this maker. I was surprised to see a couple of pair show up on OFAS. I won't bore the uninterested with facts about him but I've provided a couple of links. I will say that he made boots...- Bamaboots

Cowboy Boots
Every so often I'll look through some makers that have an online presence, often just to see if they're still there. Many aren't. Paul Bond was always a mainstay, even through Bond's death, multiple management changes, "website redesigns" and apparent mismanagement, they stuck around. I had not...- Bamaboots
