Western, anyone?

[Joao Encarnado]

Nice hat and outfit!

Does anyone else here wear their brim in the "shovel" shape. I have a straw hat with a shovel front. It has really grown on me. I am consider reshaping one of two felts into a shovel front.
By shovel I do not mean the bull rider long squared off brim.
I just wanted to see if I was alone in this boat.

(I will add photo(s) later. I just checked what I had photo-wise and I do not have a current image of the straw I made into a shovel front.)

Show us a picture so I can tell.

Had the opportunity this morning to make a dash over to Texas Hatters in Lockhart Texas to get my new Resistol finished out to my liking. Sorry. Can't really see new horsehair hat band. They put a nice curl on the brim for me! I like it!!!

Outstanding brim curl!!
The band is nice too.

 

[Renault]

Thanks compadre! Least I can wear it in the truck now. Height wasn't issue. Brim hit that dang head rest you can't remove anymore (without assistance of hacksaw or bolt cutters)..

 

[Slacker Drummer]

That. Is. Awesome.

 

[Bamaboots]

Nice curl. Looks great on you as well.

Much obliged gents! For all your kind words.

SWD,
Instead of the pictures, I'd rather be in the mountains!
I was in a couple of flicks. I didnt really care much for that venture.

Fantastic, you just need a 50 cal black powder to go with it.
there is a lot of black bears just waiting to be turned into rugs here in NJ
just can't eat them though.

 

[Renault]

ingineer???? Why not? I've foundered myself on bear meat before! Pretty good eatin'!

I bet I have an old 50 layin' around here somewhere!

Put this stuff on ANY critter on earth and you can eat it. Young and tender - throw it on the grill, old and ornery - stuff it in the crock pot.

To keep things on track, here's a couple of my western hats.

No name straw.

Royal Stetson.

Never tried bear meat... nor moose meat... those are not common in Europe.

Anyway my "new" hat arrived. This black Tom Mix. Now I have one I can wear on all weather and keep the other one cleaned and in better shape.
