Dad did have some stories to tell... He was a Navy man in his youth and sailed with Robert Ruark ("Use enough gun.") as his CPO. That was before Ruark became famous for his articles and books about hunting Africa. Dad told of the below deck poker games and how Ruark had no mercy on the...

The suject line really caught my attention... ...for the reason that my dad just crossed the Great Divide this past Thursday. He had a series of strokes that finally took his life. He was 87. The last picture that was taken of him was in a hat. That picture will be displayed at his...

Yup... The company is right proud of those britches, for sure.

Yup... Just got an E-mail answer from Jenny @ HatsDirect re. the same question...U.S. Postal Service. My silverbelly Campdraft took over 2 weeks to get here and I was off an' frettin'!

The CD looks great... ...and I have mine in a very similar shape but have the brim down all around. Got a silverbelly one due here any day now to replace my very old and misshapen OR. Not sure yet how that one will end up shaped, but there are no shortage of ideas around here! On the...

...in True West mag's online gallery. Note the number of broad-brimmed hats that have the crown at full height and punched in what looks like a 4 to a half doz. or so small indents around to top. Also noteworthy are Aussie-style campaign hats worn in one pic. Unfortunately, that pic in...

I must have been mislead as a youth.... ...as I have always adhered to the philosophy of "You are what you eat!" Sorry...couldn't resist!

Hey Doughboy... I appreciate your input. I am new here too, but appreciate the work you have put into your web site. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Anything else you can tell me about my particular hat, I would appreciate. I am quite familiar with your area of B.C. I lived beside...

Colorado Rockies... I lived in Arvada back in the early '70's and spent a fair amount of time exploring old mines and related sites. Now days, I drive over the mountains several times in June on the way to NM is all. Have a friend who is a park ranger in the CO Rockies and need to visit him...

Nice Rand hat... Spencer, I like your hat! Looks similar to mine. I had a Rand at one point...it was the Tom Horn and was "distressed" which I didn't care for. It was very fine beaver felt and looked very good but was a too big for me. I got my money out of it from a hat collector. Nice...

Great!... And I thank you, sir!
