Being from a ranching family and having moved to Denver and living there during the late 80's until the mid 90's. The highlight of every year was Cheyenne Frontier days and The National Western in Denver. Chris was a hero long before the Much Too Young single, but I must admit, that was my...

For those interested in Chris, here is a good starting point. http://www.chrisledoux.com/bio3.htm

Gentlemen, it has been a while since I have posted, been a while since I felt there was something I needed to contribute. I just played this song this morning and it spurred the post. Dean, it is good to see ya, your input of wisdom is always missed. carouselvic - your right, another that...

While I can not claim all the attributes evoked in this song, it however stirs the emotions. I have listened to this song for many years and thought sharing with those who may have never heard it before a good thing to do. I feel it can be applied to all hats, not just westerns. Enjoy, my...

There was a thread on this topic several years ago. After searching, I guess it got waxed when we had the problem a few months back. that having been said, these were the basic options last time around For those with the Santa spirit A variation of these seemed to be popular. There was a...

:offtopic: Thanks for asking. I am progressing, not as strong as I want to be. Doc tells me to give it time. Being laid up in the hospital for over a week, weakens a person, or so he says. I am still on a 24hr IV, but that should go on Monday, or so I hope. :eusa_clap The bag that I have to...

Glad you enjoyed. I do not have a Hanna, but I do have a couple from Ireland. Who knows when a Hanna may bless my collection, with its presence.

I came across this vid today, and thought that there may be some interest in how caps are made. This vid promotes Hanna Hats, but no matter, I imagine they are all made approximately like these. Enjoy...

Hello gents, well it's been a while. I was released from the hospital on Thanksgiving Eve and we spent a quiet day reflecting on all our blessings. My Stetson Fifty got the nod today along with khaki's and a Columbia. A little late, but Happy Thanksgiving to all.

No, but like most things, you need someone who knows what they are talking about. Sadly very few retailers even attempt to train their employees. That is where our forum can be a real advantage, so long as we confine ourselves to facts and do not state opinions as fact. Having HATCO here is a...

This is the first hat that I got to start with. It is packed away, so I can not tell you exactly how the sweat is tagged. Like you said, it was made for a specific purpose. My days in the saddle are over for the most part. I have not worked cattle for several years now. These are the two...

Lefty, there are as many variables in the composition of a hat as there are wearers and their expectations. I will relay this story that happened to me. I purchased a 100X Resistol off of the INTERNET. When it arrived, it was beautiful. The problem for me soon arose, in that it was so hot, that...

Thanks RBH, It like many of my treasures came from my secret honey hole. I picked up a Christmas Stetson box just a few months back. This is the same place I found a Borso Alessandria, a couple of Mallory's, Resistol's and my Stratoliner.

RBH, at this point all I have is a very nice Supernatural box, maybe one day, I will acquire the hat that will fill it. ;)
