Very nice find, Redfokker. The style of the hat looks more early 60's to me though. In 1953 most jet planes were military and they were just starting to test jets for commercial aviation. Commercial jets didn't really start until the late 50's and early 60's. Of course that doesn't mean it could...

I'm very late finding this thread so I just now finished reading through it. Great looking hats Tim! I have several hats Tim made for me over the past few years. All of them are fantastic. Tim is not only a great hatter but a helluva nice guy too!

Here is another submission for the thread. I had this out last night to clean and snapped a few pictures of it. The pictures don't do it justice. The lighting makes it look like there is some holster wear but there is not. The blueing is beautiful on this pistol. It is a 1969 T-Series Browning...

I haven't been around in awhile and was catching up on this thread. Many beautiful guns posted since I last visited! I noticed there have been a lot of snubbies posted lately. Here is my contribution. 1961 Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight. When I found it the finish was gone on it. It look...

The hand stitching on the brim binding of this hat is very impressive. Great work Tim! By the way, I have several of Tim's hats and they are all very impressive. If you are considering having Tim make you a custom hat, you won't be disappointed.

Hi Charlie. Everything is ok. Been busy with family stuff so I haven't had much time for the Lounge. I'm trying to catch up now!

Welcome Bob. Great looking hat!

Beautiful grips Mike. Here are a couple of my Smith & Wessons with polished stag grips. A Model 65 in 357 Magnum and a Model 60 in 38 Special. You can't tell from the picture but these grips are slightly oversized and feel great in your hand. They are handmade by a gentleman in Colorado. I...

Very nice carbine, Deacon. I wanted something lightweight too that I could carry in my truck or Kawasaki Mule. I have some nice Colt AR's but hate to get them bumped around so I recently put this together. I built the lower using an Armalite receiver and Armalite parts then put a...

Nobody was smoking anything but when the bus door opened it was damn sure obvious somebody had been! Here is my favorite song about Willie. It is titled "Watching Wille's Hands. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p0ETd97gpAQ

I've been lucky enough to go back stage at his concerts a few times. Even went on his bus one time. I have a good friend that is friends with his band members. One night we sat on the stage behind the speakers and he was not 20' from me all night. That was very cool to be able to see the...

That is a good looking hat Willie is wearing. On my iPad I can't tell for sure from the photo if it is a straw or felt though. SunBody makes a Guatemalan straw hat like that with a brim binding. On another note, a few years ago a friend took me backstage at a Willie concert. When we were...

Not yet...but I'm sure I'll end up ordering one:) I was holding out to see all the final colors.

I haven't been online much lately and am just now seeing this. Great looking hat Charlie!

Yes, that is a pretty common outfit for the Rangers now. Starched white shirt, tie and starched Wrangler "Wheat" jeans. They do have the option to dress however they want as long as they meet certain standards. I would imagine that the Captain of each Ranger Company will have his own standards...
