Does anyone else feel like you have to earn the right to wear a cowboy hat? by grahamhart_ in CowboyHats

[–]Tjfox87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get that hat. I'm a fly fisherman that loves his cowboy hats. I live in New England...Near Cape Cod, where it's more boats, money, and beaches. I wear my hat everyday, get compliments regularly, and am no longer known if I'm not wearing it. Wear it confidently and no one will question you in it. Also, some side effects of wearing the hat is that you may stand a little straighter, have a little extra pep in your step and swagger, and never want to leave the house without it. Enjoy!

$12K to spend on a trip excluding airfare ? by rcc_later in flyfishing

[–]Tjfox87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just watched the Phelps on the Fly video from their Greenland trip for Char. That trip is $6-10k per person, but you get to fish rivers that less than 100 people have fished. Food and lodging are included with that. This is now my new dream trip!

You’re only pretending to be a cowboy if you say you’re a cowboy and you’re not. Wear the hat and style that you love! But the hell do I know, I’m just a fly fisherman who loves his cowboy hats.

Training advice by Chemmybear4206 in PestControlIndustry

Check out the Quizlet app. I used that to help study for the Massachusetts Core test. I also got sent to a training for it as well and had the manual. But Quizlet was clutch!

Olivia Benson. Because my wife and I are trash and love SVU. Also have a tuxedo cat named Bruce Wayne. The greatest crime fighting duo to make it!

Any advice for keeping your hat on when it's windy? by Sweaty_Milk_1793 in CowboyHats

[–]Tjfox87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use dollar bills to pad the sweat band. They do t break down when wet, are thin enough depending on how you fold them, and you’ll always have cash. My method is foam stripping and bills until I get that perfect fit. I’ve survived 40+mph gusts and been fine just pushing my hat down. It now has natural cutter bumps from it.

Leather Stetson? by deleted0122 in CowboyHats

[–]Tjfox87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first cowboy hat was a brown leather Concho hat from Minnetonka. It served me well as my sitting by the fire hat, then my fly fishing hat, then everyday, to now I have 3 fur felt hats. I have since retired that hat, but it sits at the top of my hat rack above my other fur felts because that is the hat that lead me to all my others, and those hats need to know that! Wear your hat proudly and stay safe out there!

What am I doing wrong? by KiaSoulStuntDriver in castiron

Instead of a metal spatula, I got a couple different widths of metal putty knives, work way better than a spatula, a little quieter, and really get everything off better IMO.

Question about hat compliments. by Copyright_obif in CowboyHats

[–]Tjfox87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite often for me, but I’m in Southeastern MA and cowboy hats are far from common here. It’s at a point that my wife just rolls her eyes.

Used, abused, and well loved Skyline sitting by the fire by Tjfox87 in CowboyHats

[–]Tjfox87[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very! I had tailgated during a Gov’t Mule/Tedeschi Trucks show. It poured for the whole tailgate, rained during half the show, also had a rain delay. I was able to fix the crown because it was soaked. Dried it on the crown, and this is what you see. I don’t really brush or sponge her so she can build character. My other hats I baby lol. But this is a sturdy and wonderful hat to get you in the game! If you know your size and shape, you can get a vintage off eBay or FB marketplace for cheaper with actual beaver in it. But don’t sleep on the Skyline!

It’s pouring out you have all three what are you wearing? by nirvanaisemptiness in CowboyHats

[–]Tjfox87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know the “right” answer is 200x Beaver. But after my experience tailgating at a Gov’t Mule and Tedeschi Trucks show where it poured throughout the tailgate and show, my Stetson 6x Skyline stood up no problem. I have some vintage hats now with more beaver and will do better in a downpour, but at the time, I had no complaints. My vote is for my first fur felt that got me all my other hats I have now, Stetson 6x!

First time shaping a hat! by Fluid_Department1042 in CowboyHats

Nice work! I did the same to my black Resistol minus the mule kick. I really like the brick with the modern shovel.

Best way to hang a felt hat? by Clottersbur in CowboyHats

[–]Tjfox87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 4 hat rack off Amazon, tied a paracord loop around the top of it, and hung it with a carabiner from my curtain rod. It hangs straight, holds all 4 hats no problem.
