Needle-Nose-Tom Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Do fancy hat bands count for a costume addition in Classic Cowboy? I'm trying to get some ideas and not everything fits into one outfit. As in if I'm wearing a formal lawman outfit like a classic Texas ranger I'm not going to wear chaps as well and if I'm wearing a working Cowboy outfit I'm not going to have a pocket watch and tie.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 No, hat band doesn't count. There are plenty of items on the list, shouldn't be too hard to come up with 5 that fit a personna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle-Nose-Tom Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Yeah well if a tie and suspenders count I think a nice hat band should as well. Just my two cents. Probably not worth two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Never heard the argument for a hatband... 5 from the current list is easy, a lot of guys do 7. Hot, humid weather will see a different CC costume than cooler weather for a lot of us. Also, the hat must not be straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Wear any hat band you want, except for those that make the hat into a Shady Brady. Band will count for nothing but pleasing your senses. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle-Nose-Tom Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 For the record it's a hell of a hat band made by a fellow Classic Cowboy. It even came with a first place ribbon for winning in th AZ territory. I was half joking with the post but if any dang hat band was worth a costume point this one is. So all you hat bands out there that feel less than special rise up. Or just sit there on top of your hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sincerely glad you like the hatband! The process to get the bones clean is a stomach-churning process. If there were any bears in the area, they would be in my backyard due to the smell.

My girlfriend has a cooker called a instapot for making stews and such, it will boil a ham knuckle bone squeaky clean in 45 minutes, there wont be a drop of fat or gristle left anywhere. if you threw your cleaned and skinned snake in there my bet is you would have clean white bones and snake stew in less than an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cook it to long I’m sure it would, the instapot is a modern day pressure cooker only much better, you would probably have a little learning curve as to how long to cook before the meat falls off the bones but snakes are cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 On the subject of hatbands, Tombstone Mary has been making beaded bands for friends. Most are 1" wide or less. But a top hat needs a wider one, so she made these authentic style 2" bands for Santa Claus Dutch Van Horn and myself. She said they were a lot harder to make so she isn't going to do any more like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes bigger snake bones to be able to thread them like beads. I have tried various ways to clean the bones but I finally decided on a way I found on a site called Jake's Bones. I place the carcass, with all organs, in a bottle of water and set it in the sun. The bacteria do the rest until everything but the bones is a stomach-churning slurry in about a week. At that point, I wash them well and soak them in hydrogen peroxide to make them white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt my wife would ever eat a meal cooked in it after I cooked a snake. She is already horrified I eat alligator meat when visiting Florida.
