Runners up were Lenny James and Goose. Congratulations to all our winners and contestants! There were no clean shootists, but the Brunswick Kid came as close as humanly possible! AwwSh**t! It must have been those linear challenged shotgun shells!

Sixgun Seamus Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 It's a Tom Mix Stetson that I bought back in 1981. It only gets out a couple times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were at the National Order of the Arrow Conference in Austin. Everyone in our group had to buy a cowboy hat. A decent hat cost $20-$30 back then. Everyone though I was nuts when I paid $80 for a hat. That hat is probably the only one of that group that still exists. It sweat stained and covered in cartridge tracks plus other unidentified stains. I took it to a good cowboy hat shop several years ago to get it stretched just a tad. Fella asked me if I wanted it cleaned. I told him absolutely not, it took me 30 years to get it looking that good. It originally had a pinch crease. The guy said that it wasn't a Tom Mix block. He said Mix wore a Gus crease. I wasn't about to argue with him and told him to reblock it. He did it with his fingers. Made it a little crooked and a little uneven. I love the job he did. I went home and did a little research because I bought it with the pinch crease. Seems Mix wore the pinch early in his career and switched to a Gus. There are pictures of him with both styles. Sorry Mo for hijacking the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
