    Worried about everyone here.......

    Edward D. Hartwell Barstow, Ca. Indeed he is a good old soul. He is the master at long haired westerns and his presentation of western crowns was impeccable. He and @Hurricane Jack’s western presentations still are the pinnacle to strive for in my eyes in westerns. I lost his mailing address...

    Your High School Jacket - if you could go back

    Any particular ones in mind? I’m guessing a magistrate for all of us in one town, a driver arrested in another town and an overnight “stay” in the next town would count. It was a tough road home from Fort Bragg to Camp Lejeune that night. Funny thing, all on the same highway. I think they just...

    Help with {date or identify} a hat please.....!

    Slickest way i ever saw a pork pie or telescope hat creased. A guy somewhere took a felt hat, wetted or probable wet, put it on a block, opened the crown, flipped the hat over and gently pushed it back down a few inches on the top of the block into a “dish” shape of whatever depth. He then...

    Worried about everyone here.......

    Very late response. Hey Dave, you being the master researcher that you are, do you know @Michael A’s Fiickr or FB user name, or any of the other Social Media sites he may have used? For that matter, does anybody know them or have any contact info for him? Same goes for Ed, @Desert dog?? I’ve...

    Classic Safari vehicles!

    @Correus: Cool story. You are their Sensei. Who could ever forget Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler chasing Rhinos in a Land Rover? As a boy i dreamed of Africa and Land Rovers. I still regret not getting a 67’ decades ago for a song. “Jim, go rope that rhino...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I remember when you found that 3X, Nate and how tickled you were to have it. You still are the ONLY lounger i EVER saw actually use the wind trolley in the wild. B

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Ric, you make the stingy crowd jealous. You make the @Joao Encarnado crowd jealous. I think you could wear a beanie with a propeller and make that crowd jealous too! Big Stetson energy!! B

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    PERFECT….often overused by us enthusiastic jacketeers, but when spoken by you, Marc, commands attention! I think this is the jacket Brando would have wanted, Dean would have wanted. The metal appointments add a symmetry that blend seamlessly with the style, attempted by many but none reaching...

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Love this thread idea!! So many jackets here have short lives in terms of ownership and age progression. These natural hides are a total new canvas that show the paint strokes of time and wear like no other hides. I will enjoy observing, as the artist brush strokes this canvas, from birth to...

    Vintage Steerhide Buco J-24

    Epic piece with a provenance!! Can’t imagine why it would lead to uncivillity unless you somehow provoke people or become an instant expert and critic. Wear that Buco and continue that story. That’s why we are here. B

    The Use Of Mercury

    Great read Bob. Thanks, never knew the date. Put a solid pinpoint in when felt “changed” from that old felt feel to whatever. I guess Stetson’s Vita-Felt process, 42’-47’, was the first?? victory we covet so. Except Vita-Felts were all over the place, at least in the ones i have. Go figure! B...
