The classic Cowboy hat?

What a nice lifestyle you must have! I have been wearing western since childhood. When I was seven years old, living in southern California, my dad announced that we would be moving to Texas. To appease my objections, he said when we get there I will buy you some new boots, hat, and talk to uncle Jack about a horse. That's all it took. He kept his word, bought me some Acme Golden Angus boots, a real hat, and took me to my uncle's farm to talk horses. When I started school you could open a savings account at school, through the local bank. By second grade I had saved $62.00, 73.00 with interest. This was my horse money. My uncle agreed to sell me a pinto pony, saddle, and bridle, for the 73.00 I had. What great times I had at his farm. When we had to move, my uncle gave me my 73.00. Got an Appaloosa right out of high school and did a lot of riding and some team roping, while managing a western wear and tack store. I still love horses and would like to own another. Still can't give up hats and boots.

I do. I fix up old hats and make them look older and make new ones too.

 

Thank you.

 

I do some rebuilding and western conversions.Also make my own hat liners.All as a hobby.

 

I'm joining the conversation kinda late, but I like to refurbish hats. Keep some....sell some. Here's a Resistol I did.

 

Great job Cornshucker! That looks really good. The wide ribbon gives it a completely different look.

I do a little leather work. Mostly holsters and knife sheaths. I know there are other folks on here who do leather. Would love to see some of their work. DD I know you do leather work. Would love to see more. I made the holster and knife sheath in this photo, but not the cartridge belt.

 

Thanks DD. I do like the wide ribbon on the tall crown Westerns.

 

That is great!

 

Thanks Greg!

 

Thanks Yahoody!

 

I never thought of myself as an artist. I kinda like it!

 

Nice work on the hat and the leather @Cornshucker77 !

 

Great looking work Cornshucker! It's nice to see another leather worker here! Here is a holster I made about 35 years ago. Been doing mostly belts and small gifts lately. I would like to see more of your work, also anyone else's work. I will try to post some more.
