Western, anyone?

[T Jones]

Thanks TJ. I like your Montana crease but every time I have ever put in a mule kick I end up taking it out. Just my preference but I always thought my hats looked funny from the side.

Thanks, HJ. I didn't care much for the mule kick at first, either. It kinda grew on me, though.

Thanks looks great! Step away from it and go play with a different hat.

Ha! I think I'll stop picking on it, now!

The times I tried it I liked it from the back but from a side view you couldn't really see what was going on & it just looked like a flat spot to the hat. Being taller I thought how most people probably saw it, as a flat spot.

Kinda looks like part of it's cut off in the back. But, being taller, most people probably can't see that high up to notice.

Not sure if this is the right place but I may be looking for someone to do some hat work for me. Ever since loosing the auction for this hat

I've been itching for something similar. I want that rich brown color but I think I would prefer more of a lighter buckskin ribbon and binding. If I found a regular vi the brown hat who can cut a brim to 3 or 3.5" and sew the binding on and change the ribbon?

Or the other option is full on custom. Not sure which way works out best.

I'm guessing that it will be cheaper to modify an existing hat if you can find the size and color.Any number of the
Lounge hatters could do the ribbon and binding.

Seeing David bring out his Bandera straw reminded me that back in the fall I picked up this old Bailey. Built on a 3-1/2 x 6" I really liked the look. It needs a little cleaning & straightening up. I'd like to change the pug to a Native American print if anyone knows of a source. I've researched how to make one but I don't think I'm domesticated enough (as Hank Jr sang, "...most of us have been penned up but I'm still runnin' wild"). If I can do that I have an imitation eagle feather for it. If not I'll probably look for a leather hatband.

Another nice straw Jack. Got parrot feathers if the eagle doesn't land.

This eagle lived life as a turkey! That turkey always dreamed of being an eagle. He got his chance when an artist painted his feathers as a way of thanking that turkey for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. I have an imitation bald eagle feather.

Watch out what you dream for.

Try giving a call to Mike Miller at The Northwest Hat Co. He could do something for you. At least you could talk to him and figure out your options. His prices are pretty decent too...

Reminds me of the story of a well refined patron who would come to this bar for a drink or two. He always had this little 12" man with him who was just obnoxious!

Stumbled on some older promo shots and performance pics with my 100% natural beaver hat by Rocky Mountain Hat Co. Still have the hat but not the band!

Thx Joao. Yep--I've used the Soundclick page to host odds and ends on the net--mostly gear demos and occasional band tunes--mostly older stuff.

Seeing lots of liquidation specials on ebay for some decent western lids that could convert well or serve well as is...
