That one's a real work of art, Cuz...one of the best I've seen from RRL. I'm always impressed by the quality of Ralph's stuff. Congrats on the find.
Thanks Bob!
If only I were considerably smaller....and wealthier
That's a mighty nice one, Jack!
Craftsmen, suppliers & manufacturers in all aspects of the Western industry do more than 50% of their yearly business with the orders they take there & the sales they make. That’s why attendees come from all over. That was especially true in the days before the internet.
Thanks Dale. Most arrowheads are found on tweed, wool or a blend I think. And most corduroys have leather elbow patches. I was happy to get this configuration in such good shape.
The people selling Bailey cowboy hats — decent hats, no woolies — priced from $240 to $850, appeared to be doing a good trade. I spotted several people toting their new hats around in those Bailey hatboxes, and a steady stream of people at their booth trying on hats. I researched the vendor and learned that they sell at other Western events: the Houston livestock show, Cheyenne Frontier Days, etc.
The annual High Noon Auction & Western Americana Show in Mesa, AZ is another. But at the auction you better have deep pockets.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. 
I don’t wear many collared shirts anymore. As you know I’m sure, a beard can really wear down a collar just from abrasion. Besides a Henley I like a crew neck (better than a tee shirt grade) or a mock turtleneck. I often wear an open flannel Western shirt as a cover shirt or jacket Over a Henley. I like how a Henley or any of the others mentioned can really casual up a sport coat, especially a corduroy with blue jeans.
