I got a question:
What IS the most common or popular hat for our American western cowboys?
Until BBM, I'd never heard of Resitol, only Stetson. Are they like both the biggest brands known? Is it a regional thing?
Thanx for any thoughts on this.

The woman who interviewed Hugh compares his "gentlemanly ways" with Gregory Peck. She arrives late for lunch and writes:
"He puts down his glass and dismisses my flustered apologies with an old school charm. ... Jackman projects both gallantry and mischief. There is a puckish wrinkle in his nose when he laughs and he somehow triggers the fantasy that if one were to faint - which one might, right now, on purpose - he would swoop in and pick up the pieces."
Apparently he changes his body for every role, practising yoga for a year for one scene in The Fountain and tai chi for a 30-second clip. His stamina is said to be "astounding" - be still all our hearts!

Good question. I think most of us have heard of Stetson more. Of course, having a brand of mens cologne named Stetson didn't hurt either. LOL

So what would it take to get you to start scanning these articles for all of us so that we can put them on Hugh!Hugh!Hugh! and sigh and squirm every time a new one comes up?
wayne1932:
Here in the Dallas area there is an ongoing rodeo in the suburb of Mesquite. It is held in the Resistol arena. So Resistol sponsors the venue. Also near downtown is a building with the name "Adams Hats" on it. This is in an older manufacturing area. This building has been converted into loft apartments. I don't recall an Adams hat, but I'd be willing to bet they made western style hats.
