    Musician's hats

    That had to be fun, I haven't been out to Texas in a long time. I love Jimmie's playing and have seen him solo a few times. Kid Bangham, who replaced Jimmie in the Thunderbirds, lives not far from me and has hired me on <steel> a few times. He's actually a pretty good singer and towards end of...

    Musician's hats

    Personally ... Gate's the shit. In Paris late 90s w/ Eddie Kirkland, Gatemouth was in audience. On break he asked to sit in (but only if he could play MY guitar) He played rest of show w/ us. He left his hat at the table ; ) Halloween dressed as Eddie (he was not psyched about this) Wish I...

    ^^^ One note and you know it's Albert ^^^ Albert, like a lot of those guys from that generation, was really protective of "his" style and we all know Stevie worshipped Albert. FF to that Austin City Limits show with BB, Albert and Stevie. Stevie's taking a ride and off stage a little, Albert is...

    G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. <1936

    Hi Garrett, I absolutely defer to yours and the group's expertise. This is the "her"story as was conveyed to me. Your interpretation would not jibe with notion that original owner arrived in America, 1916 with hats in trunk though. One fact about story that I would trust from family members is...

    Thanks, Stefan .. Seller just wrote that she asked her great aunts this morning about their father's two hats. They came over with him from Sicily in 1916 and were purchased between 1911 and 1915. They say they only saw him wear them once. Gray one is on my head my right now ; )

    Thanks, Brent! Actually I feel like I've got Big Shoes to fill in that regard! Their previous caretaker knew what they were doing ; ) I just don't want to be the guy to lose a size tag or bust a seam.

    G.B.Borsalino Fu Lazzaro & C. <1936

    Yesterday during a typical online-hat-trawl I discovered these old Borsalinos a half hour away. I immediately wrote Stefan asking "Help! ..What's the story?" .. While waiting for a reply I fired up the FL search engine, found this thread AND exact same pictures I'd just sent Stefan! I got...

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Hi Friends, I've learned a ton viewing and reading this thread in it's entirety, thank you all. I've also learned that finding a larger size bracelet that speaks to you can take some patience. I believe this bracelet to be modern. It was made by Garrett Hale. Old koa backdrop courtesy a 1926...

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Thanks fellas. As far as WD motorcycle jackets go, this is my favorite style of theirs. They (He) made really interesting jackets in the 60s too but they're scarce and usually too small.

    STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY

    This guy arrived today looking no-thing like pictures I've enclosed, having more of an extremely smooshed cattleman's crease . A little steam and felt was soon moldable like clay. Weight of felt reminds me of my 50s No1 .. a more stiff western weight but with a much more luxurious hand. I'm not...
