What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[ScottF]

Thanks, I'll research them some more.I live in a little town 8 miles away,Simonton, so it was nice to find a nice hat shop that close. My uncle had the hat concession at the weekly rodeo in Simonton when I was growing up so I watched him shape and sell thousands of hats. He quit doing it after Urban Cowboy came out because he refused to deal with pink hats!

Oh and Doziers is great but it's about 5 miles from Brookshire in Fulshear TX.

:eusa_doh: I have lived most of my life in Texas, but only a couple of years in Houston, back in the early '80s. That would have been a bummer if I had gone to Brookshire looking for Dozier's.

Very nice, Douglas. I've got to get someone who can take photos as great as you do.

Thanks Jwalls, It is all in the wrist and a very shaky one at that.

You have distinguished features I believe the wider brim conflicts with those features. The a less prominent brim is more complimentary. IMHO....

Distinguished eh? Maybe I need to get used to that Homburg!

Or a bowler??

Actually I think that's the point my daughter would refuse to sit with me on the train.

OR=Open Road a thin ribbon Stetson model, much copied, never bettered.

Oh I dunno Billy. I'm thinkin' my ol' Shudde Brothers is right up there.

And isn't there some conjecture that Stetson's OR is itself a copy of an earlier model by someone else?

For me it`s the latest VS, bashed and on the noggin as Handlebart requested...

This one leaves me just short of speechless. What an outstanding example of the hatmaking arts.
