This is actually my only hat. Schafer Hat Works pure beaver in silver belly. I wear it every day.

I have been to Schafer Hat Works, he trimmed a brim for me. I may have to go back by there one of these days. I will probably fall off the wagon (of my diet) and have a chicken fried steak across the street. Nice hat.

I reflanged the brim on this Stagecoach and added a kettle curl. The curl needs some tweaks but it turned out pretty good.

Celebrating 36 with Tom Mix.

I had purchased this No. 1 recently and noticed it looked very similar to the wider ribbon sported by Tom Mix in the serial, ‘The Miracle Rider’. Once I started doing some additional research, I was delighted to learn this last of his films, a rare ‘talkie’ for him, was filmed on Iverson Movie Ranch. Right near the ranch, is a public access climbing area called, Garden of the Gods, and has a boulder dubbed Tom Mix rock. A re-enactment was in order...

This spot is only 15 minutes from my place, and I had no idea it existed until I bothered to poke around a little.

The picture above with trash can mural is in Newhall, Santa Clarita. He also recognized on the cowboy walk of fame but it’s not too exciting and I used up the 10 pic max anyhow. Hope y’all enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Hi
I've had a brim shaped a bit at Schafers. I try to eat at Kendall's regularly, but not lately. I love the open face roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy.

Stetson 3X Open Road Silverbelly 7 1/8

Not sure if I posted this one before. But I put it on the bay today.

60s/70s Stetson 3X XXX Beaver The Open Road
Silverbelly - Size 7 1/8
4 1/2 inch Crown as shaped Cattleman’s Crease (approx 5 1/2 inch open crown)
3/8 inch thin matching grosgrain ribbon
2 7/8 brim with matching grosgrain binding
Stetson Last Drop liner with plastic tip protector
Wind trolley cord

Vintage 1960s or 1970s Stetson 3X Beaver XXX The Open Road in Silverbelly Size 7 1/8. The Silverbelly felt is in decent shape with a few moth nibbles here and there as well as some light marks on the underside of the brim and along the crease lines of the crown from wear. The brown sweatband has come unattached on the one side.

The crown is currently shaped in a cattleman’s crease with a slouchy mule kick in the font and stands at 4 1/2 inches. When fully opened the crown is about 5 1/2 inches. The brim is 2 7/8 inches with an 1/8 inch matching grosgrain brim binding. This hat features the Last Drop liner covered with a plastic tip protector as well as a wind trolley cord.

Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed them, Dd. I have been meaning to come out your way once things get ‘normal’ again, will be sure to bring a couple of the Stetson westerns with me when I do.

Yep, it was absolutely inspired by that one. I chose to make smaller segments than Eastwood's hatband.

For some errands & a trip to the barber I chose my Gannon Highwayman.

And some trimming on my own.
