Western, anyone?

[Rmccamey]

About a year ago I acquired a Shudde Bros hat. The dimensions mimic an OR or similar Royal Stetsons. Very light weight and a very smooth felt. The hat came to me open crown and, while it will take any dry crease by hand, I could not decide on its "forever" crease. The recent western postings inspired me to take a second look. With a little inspiration from hats of Perry @hatophile Terry @T Jones Randall @Randall Renshaw and others, I turned on the steam and put in a Carlsbad crease. I tugged the front and rear of the brim pretty good to give it a bit more of a cowboy flair. Brent @deadlyhandsome has been sporting westerns for several weeks, so he should like this too.

Very nice, Randy! I wondered if you were going to crease it or leave it open. Don’t you wish they still made felt like that?

Thanks all. Yes, Brent, I would not mind having a few more like this one.

A real beauty!

Wearing this all day. The Portis western 3X Silver Beaver Quality. Cold water and Woolite washed most of the cowboy and horse out of the filthy liner. Remnants of the hat and bridle remain.

As it is with most teasers, leaves me wanting for more. With Sam Elliott involved, it’s cruel to make me wait.

Fellas been posted around here before, Yahoody. Want to say he was a promoter of sorts, or something. Maybe ran the Deadwood Theatre. I can’t remember. It’s a great pic.

And brilliantly played by Brian Cox in Deadwood (the series).

I like Sam's version a lot better than Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus's
