When your wife gets a hold of your hats (A horror story) ...
So, I come home yesterday and my wife shares with me that she went to her dad's to visit him and her uncle and aunt who were visiting from out of town... Ohio, to be exact. Now, not unlike some of you, I have a few “extra” hats (If that really can BE such a thing) She decides, on her own...- Mustang Mike's Hats

Black cherry color.
I would love to see what the older version of black cherry looks like, in person. I only have the Winchester version I ordered for a guy this year as an example. Oddly, I didn't really see the "cherry" until I got it under some natural light. My wife spotted it immediately which probably seez...- Mustang Mike's Hats

The VAST majority of this forum has been a blessing on a several levels. (Heck, I'm even learning about vintage...- Mustang Mike's Hats

A thread about threads
I have used different threads for each. A stronger/heavier thread like Coats and Clark upholstery for sweat bands and often I use Gutermann polyester or S-lon Superlon beading thread for ribbon hatbands. I've found that the S-lon works well in both applications as S-lon is thinner in thickness...- Mustang Mike's Hats

Looking for hat information?
With that style of hatband, it looks like a few of the models I sold at a Western wear store about 15 - 20 years ago. That said, a piece of advise. If you plan to keep that particular shape, you may want to store it on it's crown. The brim will flatten out if you leave it resting on the brim...- Mustang Mike's Hats

Making a Western hat by hand?
I thought so too, originally. After having hand measured both a regular oval and a long oval crown block I was surprised to see the difference. Another indication was when I purchased some band blocks. My vendor (who I believe is a Lounge member) lists the blocks by size and circumference...- Mustang Mike's Hats

Ask a question, get an answer
I know that some hatters, like Gladys Tamez Millinery, in Los Angeles, CA has done this type of work. Usually using dissimilar materials. Ester may know of someone on your side of the pond as well.- Mustang Mike's Hats
