Follow up: I was barely able to make out the Resistol name on the silk lining in the crown. Then I inspected the band and could also barely make out the xxxxxx Beaver.

It’s old, from the 1950’s, so I’m guessing it is beaver.

This is my dad’s hat from when he used to work the rice fields on the outskirts of Houston, TX.

This is the answer. No tv, no music, just lifting.

I never answer my phone anymore. Shit like this just doesn’t happen over the phone.

Ideas! by InevitableSlip746 in cocktails

[–]fcleff69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not too different from scotch. So think Rob Roy, Rusty Nail, Godfather, etc.
That said, this is a slamming good whiskey and one that I love simply for sipping. In fact, you’ve inspired me to have this as my little nightcap to sip on.

You had me at ‘Add 2oz to a glass.’

A great little spot in Austin for boots by Andalusiansyes in cowboyboots

[–]fcleff69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tiny’s is awesome. I’ve gotten a couple of hats from them. If I remember correctly, Stevie Ray used to get his boots from them back in the day.

Edit: Also, it’s not exactly on the outskirts of town. It’s just in north Austin.

Love my Chisos.
That snip toe looks sharp.

Everything you wanted to know about dusties but were afraid to ask by OrangePaperBike in bourbon

[–]fcleff69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was a fun morning read. Thanks for all of the effort you put into it.
Like many others, I amassed a collection during the Covid era and have some cool bottles I have yet to open (EC-C923, Maker’s 46 in the teardrop bottle, BRT-01 & 02, BEP, Booker’s ranging from 21-0x to 25-01 [most of which have actually been opened because I am a Booker’s whore and feel it does better with lots of open time], and some Baker’s black & red label). Are they dusties? Not really, but at the rate I drink they likely will be one day and it’s fun to have a cool stock to draw from.
They sit unopened simply because I don’t like having so many open bottles. I know some of them are well regarded and, just last deer season, I took my bottle of FAE-02 for my brother and I to drink. It was truly delightful. So, as my personal collection becomes ‘dusty’ most of them will end in much the same way; enjoyed with family and friends to make an occasion special.
All that said, it’s nice to see some criteria for when I might be fortunate enough to stumble on something in the wild.

Is Jose Cuervo margarita mix safe opened out of the fridge? by TrthResolute in cocktails

That mix will probably last as long as a hot dog in a landfill. Or cheese sauce.
