Thank you David, from one Johnny Horton fan to another! He died way too young, only 35. He definitely had a great voice and, I think, would have been recognized as one of the greats if his life hadn't been cut short. Good to know there's another Johnny Horton fan!Great hat and awesome to find another Johnny Horton fan—definetly an under appreciated talent and a great voice!
Looking good, Bill—good luck with surgery!
Thank you Jim. Yeah, they do retain their stiffness, even when I thin out the felt. Although I do get creases that are sharp and more crisp, and they retain their shape better. I can get them to where they almost react like vintage felt, but once you mist it with a little water to set the crease it goes back to being stiff.Nice conversion, Terry. When you convert these Westerns, do they retain their stiffness or does the process soften them up for a more "dress" feel? I've always been curious about that.
Nice hat! Feel better soon!
Thank you, Jared. It's just under 6cm to the curl.Love a black on black Homburg! Great hat, Steve. Good brim width on this one.
Look at those beauties. Nice to see those doggies out in a pack, Eric.My dog pack, Stetson Whippets, have been greeting the light snow this morning.
Who let the dogs out!
Cheers, Eric -
