    Aero linings

    Nothing wrong with that coat or the fit (appearance wise). Just my 2 cents. I'm no expert on fit, hang, drape, etc. but no matter what, that's a great looking coat.

    Is a leather jacket & shorts a fashion faux pas?

    ... Or not... ;)

    Hat making?? Learning Millinery..

    Hmmmm... Might be my wishful imagination but that looks like a black nutria felt in western weight;)

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Yep. Me as well. I got in the JL queue the 1st week of August. Hopefully, I will have a finished jacket before Halloween. I am going with a 3-3.25 oz cowhide. I started out going for a modified car coat but the end design is more of a modified field jacket (with a shirt-style collar and no...

    Wolfbrae Custom Hatters

    How many western weight /western style do you typically do (not counting the one that is coming up soon ;))?

    Need some feedback on wearing fedoras

    This advice isn't bad... It's pretty much how I started wearing hats (again - after many years). But I quickly found that the "starter hat wasn't going to cut it for me and quickly moved on to the hat(s) I really wanted to wear. I would encourage you to wear the hat you want. Fedoras aren't...

    Wolfbrae Custom Hatters

    So I have a rabbit (left), and two beaver. I even have two straw hats. (The gray one on the right is my daughter's and doesn't count.) The one thing missing is a nutria. Since I have a spare hook just begging to be put to use, I jumped in the queue for Robert to handle the job. Should be ready...

    With no comment on nutria... I wonder how Sunrise is doing?

    Photographs Of Hats Fresh From Surviving The Elements

    There hasn't been sunshine in maybe two weeks. I would have expected a lot more action in this thread because of that (so maybe it's just too depressing to post wet hats?) Had to do a walk-through on a misting morning in my Major Moore Buckaroo. One good thing about wet hats is you can fine...

    What is the hat in the 3rd picture? Very nice. Looks exactly like my Gannon modified Big Four.

    Red Wing Roughneck Advice

    I missed that your post was a month ago. You are moving fast in building a boot collection. I have no particular opinion about the cotton toebox lining yet, though I too would have preferred all leather. Good luck and happy feet with the new boots.

    Red Wing Roughneck Advice

    I just got the Iron Rangers in copper rough and tough today (strapped on my feet to begin break-in as I type). I have nothing useful to offer in this discussion other than to say a few years ago the Roughnecks were offered in the No. 8 last (same last as IR and Blacksmiths). How I wish they...

    What is going on with this site???

    I almost wonder if the whole site is about to reset. IOW, all posts and pictures (yikes) will get deleted and everything will start again at square one. I hope not. Maybe I'm just feeling apocalyptic :eek:

    What is going on with this site???

    I am guessing that, as a vintage hat/apparel sight, we shouldn't really demand modern connection speed. Gotta surf like it's the 1960s ARPANET and we are the privileged few who get to be online :cool:

    Christys’ Lincona

    If you find you are not getting the results you want with steam (I'm not good with steam) use a spray bottle (better control to protect the ribbon a bit) with distilled water and give the crown and brim a good soaking. This will keep the felt malleable for much longer than steam. Felt hats are...

    The past week or so, this forum has been running like it's being served on dial-up. WTF (what the fedora)?

    Where do you hang your hat?

    Simple but effective. Maybe this belongs in the hats and drinks thread as each post is topped with a whiskey bottle cork top. With 7 posts, I guess you can call this a "Days of the week" hat rack.

    That seems like a waste of a good brim. Might as well wear the "Sherlock Holmes" hat.
