That Texas Posse and their Hats!

[Ottawa Creek Bill]

Did you all notice that those Texas boys know how to wear a hat? Not one of their hats had a crown that looked like an Arby's Roast Beef sign. I would say they were perfect hats......So...my hat is off to them.

They weren't wearing Stetsons either.

Actually, several of our hats are Stetsons.  Stetson still makes Boss of the Plains style hats that have a 19th century crown.  They are hard to find.   The Stetson / Resistol factory is about 8 miles from my office in Mesquite, Tx.  They have a fantastic "factory outlet" store that is open to the public.  You can get 6X Beaver hat blanks there for $50.  They usually sell overstocks and styles that don't sell well  (which includes all the 'old west' styles that we like.)  The factory outlet has a hat blocker on duty to custom shape your hat.  The store is actually overwhelming as they have 1000's of hats stacked up all over the store.

When we do get a regional match together down here, this store would be a fun diversion for the participants.

Bill,

Compliment appreciated, however I still like Arby's.   That Big Montana sandwich is one of my favorites.
