I'm planning on buying a couple of coon skin hats to wear to games... and I found this site on the internet I'm thinking of buying from. Just thought I'd share it with you guys.

I've been thinking about getting a hat (http://oldwestreplicas.com/hg5bn.html) like one worn by Sam Houston. What do you think of this one?

that's pretty cool too, just like in the Alamo movie w/John Wayne.

How was the recent one? I heard bad things about it so never checked it out.

Both would be good, but wouldn't the coonskin caps be a little too warm, compared to that white Panama?

I wouldn't mind wearing the coon skin hat. I don't think I'll wear the big huge white one though lol.

I think you should see if Stadium Security will let you bring one of those canes in. Fake a limp or something.
You should also try to sneak in some Bowie knives ;)

I think FuBoy's Brigade has raised enough money to buy a few dozen of these... heheheh. To go along with the drums we'll be bringing.
MBean, you want me to save 1 or 2 for you? What kind/size/color?

I ordered my coonskin cap on tuesday, and it arrived in the mail today. The tail really is a real racoon tail... and it is sized just like the website said it would be. Here it is being modeled by my daughter who is sitting on the kitchen table.

Is she going to wear that 1836 shirt you made to the games? It was so cute!

Yup. Don't know if we'll be bringing her to opening night though, we may take her to my parents house for the day.

Just confirmed the sizes for my two lads this weekend. I just finished ordering my 3. I have tremendous heritage in both Texas and Tennessee so these are a must for me and my family!
Viva 1836!

I ordered the following wholesale, and will have them available for anyone interested:
large brown coontail hats (16 remaining)
medium brown coontail hats (4 remaining)
small brown coontail hats (4 remaining)
large brown coonface and tail hats (12 remaining)
Maybe I should charge extra and give the profit to the Texian Army!

I'll be buying a fake coon skin one, so a poor animal doesn't lose his life so I can wear his fur on my head. :(

I really wanted to get the coonface hat... but decided against it because it cost more money and my wife found the idea of having a real animal head on top of my head to be gross.
