Thank you. We took that at the spot where they filmed the gunfight in "Tombstone".

Picked this one up on the cheap. Beaver Brand Ten X

Sent it out to Master Hatter David Gibson... Told him my vision and he made it come true.
I believe in magic!

I like the look on you a lot Rick. You wear an open crown well & the height is perfect!

Now you just need to grow the stache.

Very nice Rick. I love your vision and how it turned out.

Thank you guys for all the likes and the nice comments.
This is my first experience with having a hat completely refurbished. Send out a dirty old common western and it comes back looking like a custom. *NICE*

Outstanding! How long did it take David to get the hat back to you?

It took six months, exactly what he told me it would take. I sent it off and stopped thinking about it. I’m good with the long lead time.

For 2020 six months is on the fast end of things. I’m also fine with the longer waits, particularly if the estimated time is accurate. I’m a big fan of David’s work, and your project turned out great.

Stetson Pikes Peak. 5" open crown. 3 1/2" flat brim.

Very nice hat Rick! I like it a lot.

Very nice hat Rick! I like it a lot.

Thanks man,
BTW I really appreciate the "working hat" aspect of your creations!

 

[Yahoody]

Much appreciated Rick. I had a couple of my nice beaver hats rebuilt by a hatter. They've become my "dress" hats, at least for now. Hard to keep a hat here flat, let alone clean. After a bit of rain and our some times annoying critters, shapes can change pretty quickly. This was a flat hat a month ago. The original intention was to keep it a flat hat. (see top of this page, same hat ) I've now given up on that idea. Couple hrs out today in a cold, driving rain just made the idea of it ever being flat again wishful thinking Flat enough I guess.

Another nice hat Mr. Guitar man!

At least it's clean, man! ; )

It's Friday, let's get this party started .. Bob Wills, who'll always be the King, recorded this tune probably more than a dozen times. This version, which I'm pretty sure was recorded early 60s on MGM, when his star was already way on the decline, is just so, SO good. Bob is singing, enhanced by "multi track recording", Billy "B. Bowman Hop" Bowmen on steel guitar + the always inimitable Playboys. No-one was ever in Bob's band who wasn't just a total mother .. I'm never not blown down by this.

"Ahhhh Billy .. you didn't come to stay ... you come to play"
