Western, anyone?

[Rmccamey]

It's hard to beat a Northwest hat in any configuration.

Regarding all weather hats...
While looking for a custom hat maker, i found both this forum, and Northwest Hats; they are just a few miles away, in Eugene OR.

I use a beaver hat working in all weather, which for me means working all day in the rain, some days, and often downpours mixed with sun. Southeaster rain hats are ok, but not that comfortable when the sun peeks out. Hoods are a no go, visibility not good. A beaver hat sheds the rain all day and remains comfortable in the sun.

I need a size 8, which can’t be found off the shelf any more, so custom it is. Mike at Northwest Hats made just what i needed — wide brim, etc., and very reasonably.

So there it is: a good beaver western is for me the best rain hat you can get!

What a fine way to introduce yourself to the lounge. Love the hat, and I hope it services you well. Welcome.

Dang Ross, you're gonna have to stop showing off and get at least one beater hat like the rest of us!

First day under my new Gannon: 100% nutria in the sage color.

Here's the print pattern from one of the banded collar flour sack shirts that Scully repos. I have a couple of these & would like to have a Victorian collar to drop on them once in a while. Pic taken a few yrs ago with a Thoroughbred Derby 10X "Rebel" hat.

Great pattern, Jack. Cool shirt. Nice Thoroughbred, too

Looking good, Rick. The hat looks great open crown, but I’d always be fighting the temptation to steam it and dig my fingers into it.

 

[Steve1857]

Go boldly, Rick. Live long and prosper

I may be joining you in a few days. Looking forward to seeing what bash you give that one.

I was going to tell @Ross Young to blacken the beard on this & he could have a new avatar but you just might be a contender!
