Cowboy hats
Front-Ranger:
Did you see the bonus feature on the Making of the movie, with Heath and Jake wearing those shower caps over their cowboy hats all the time? LOL!
Another thing, my straw version got beat up on the roller coaster ride yesterday. D'you know how I can, uh, fluff it? I was thinkin of submerging it in a horse trough, then leaving it to dry in the sun. 8)

Heh, you said it first injest. They're hat covers, not shower caps. Rain/wet does ruin/warp/melt the felt of the hats. Last time I had a felt hat was when I was in high school marching band. We performed, rain or shine and being Texas, our uniforms had a cowboy hat as an accessory. We weren't about to pay that much for a felt hat, then let the rain ruin it. So, plastic covers for hats!

Son has 'dress' hats in black and sand, one straw; and two 'everyday' hats in straw
I have 'dress' hats in forest green, red, black, sand, grey; three 'everyday' hats....
Am I the only one here that does horse shows? You gotta have different hats for your different outfits!!
these are the traditional 'cowboy' styles...we have 5,345 baseball caps (just kidding, but we got a lot!!)
also, a brief comment on 'dress' 'everyday' and work...you buy them new and when they get too worn for the show ring they get moved to 'everyday' status....when they get too stained to wear into town then they get demoted to work hats!
Rarely throw away a hat...

Wow! You sure have hats!

I have two cowboy hats, a black wool felt bought from Sheplers, and a straw from a local sporting goods stores. A friend who used to travel to Houston frequently on business told me I should wear the straw between Memorial Day and Labor Day--sort of like women and white shoes, I guess. ;D I've been telling myself I want to replace the black wool with a geniune Resistol (like Jack's in the story) but somehow I haven't gotten around to it.
Also two pairs of cowboy boots, a nice understated pair of in black Justin's with with black decorative stitching, and a pair of brown Frey's.
I love the Justin's. As I said, understated (black on black), I bought them from Shepler's, feeling I was taking a huge chance ordering footwear mail-order, but out of the box, they fit me like they were made for me. The Frey's were a real "find." I got them at a sidewalk sale for five bucks. I could tell from the condition for the soles that they hadn't been worn much--and they still had a store price tag on them of $125.
Del, you ride dressage? I'm impressed. That takes a lot of skill!
