BUD DAVIS Urban Cowboy hat shape. Both versions!

[@number1pappy]

I grew up in Pasadena TX and was in high school when they were filming the movie urban cowboy. Gillis was a mile from my house! I went to school with the son of the people who owned the house that was used in the movie (Travoltas characters uncles house in the movie)They had to wait to move in after the film crew left. I knew several of the extras in the movie. It was really weird seeing my home town in the movie theater when it first was released. The diner in the movie was my parents favorite diner. I never got to actually meet John Travolta or the other main actors as they just had too much security. But it was amazing watching it be filmed. I learned alot about how they make movies and you be amazed at how it's kinda boring to watch! Lol! Its alot of retakes and methodical staging. It's cool that it put my home town on the map!

Cool memory, thanks for sharing. I grew up in north Houston and as you probably know, we just new you guys as "Stinky-dena"

[@Silver7481]

Most of Urban Cowboy was shot at Gilley's in Houston. We made the movie hats. Sam Silver. American Hat Company Grandson of the founder.

[@rondarlemons6429]

That’s so cool thank you for the information

[@Christos-Anesti-ICXC]

And Pasadena Tx

The creases applied to the hats are the modern taco style that has a wide flat brim in front with sharp angles as the brim goes vertical. Whereas the vintage hats worn in "Urban Cowboy", Richard Petty, and the other examples in this video used a smoothly curved front brim and didn't have as aggressive upright sides.

[@FlawdaBoy4547]

The one movie for me that comes on and I watch it over and over is pure country

[@rusty_shakleford3395]

That was cool to see.. Plus I seen an interview with Travolta or Patrick swayze and. Swayzes mom waa the choreographer for urban cowboy. And Patrick swayze wouldbe teaching the extras how to 2 step and other dances while his mom would be teaching the stars of the movie their dances.. Plus opening song is Charlie Daniels. Love this movie. Thanks for showing it some love..

[@eddiebolt5781]

Charlie Daniel’s Texas!

[@rondarlemons6429]

Thank you for your feedback that’s right

[@Silver7481]

Nobody did that severe brim bend angle back then. We did the brims with a smooth graceful transition. It takes more skill to do 'em graceful.

[@rondarlemons6429]

You’re exactly right it does take lots of skill

[@bearanoia673]

I love this movie. Travolta never looked better! One of the best soundtracks!

[@dannyzuko9686]

I really like the shape of John's Cowboy Hat in that movie

[@Wingman115]

Love the movie themed hat shaping. Good stuff.

[@brunningwolf]

She is so good shaping hats.

[@albertotovar8026]

Ooooo lawwd now I have to watch urban cowboy love watching these videos

[@billnelson9413]

Thanks for doing these!

[@rondarlemons6429]

You’re welcome keep watching

[@slicksnewonenow]

I love Fifties style Western hats... I used to work for a Hatter in Houston in the Eighties... The old guys there taught me how to shape the best damn Horseshoe Crease I've ever seen 😁 They taught me to always start out with a tall crown hat, so there's enough material to get the horseshoe or DOUBLE HORSESHOE out of it. Something else that always got me (especially back in the Eighties) was cutting down the width of a brim...🙄 But I guess that was "the style" back at the time.

[@roberthale8441]

Love your show

[@rondarlemons6429]

Thank you

[@memoblanco7428]

Me encanta verlos, Ronda you are the best, saludos from Saltillo Coahuila México, Dale Brisby shape please

[@sixtoherrera986]

Are you a super puncher

[@shepherdosouls8654]

Ok i have a resistol wright western 6x felt with what feels like a huge crown..i love the way it feels but it sits pretty low and digs into my ears...can the crown be lowered enough to pull it off my ears about 1/8 of inch??

[@rondarlemons6429]

Billy it’s Ronda get a hold of me

[@miked2865]

After you cut the brim how much was left over?

[@joeJoe-pb3su]

Urban cowboy is a classic 👌 I had to buy it in blueray...

[@joelebstein]

I’ve watched several of her hats shaped and I notice she doesn’t really make the hat dip at all on most of shapes. Just curious if it’s just her style.

[@mariosilva9234]

The song that plays when he's driving into his uncle's house is Texas Charlie Daniels Band!!!

[@shannonpattenthetexasbb]

I have to look this lady up and have her to make me a hat

[@ocastillo6174]

Loved this video

[@jajuanjackson4113]

Ppl still like old school... like one time I was working at a hay place and u was wearing a shirt with the sleeve cut off and kinda new dark blue wranglers and fades brown boots and a faded black felt hat, and a old cowboy with the dirty straw hat, smile and said "u done bring the old cowboy memories back from the 70s to me"... and tats when ik the 1970s cowboy style was for me

[@american244]

What is Brad Paisley’s style when he wears the white felt hat?

[@brettbeebe81]

That's awesome

[@trentcostello5158]

Rhonda is awesome I just bought a stetson Seneca pecan color an a black gambler stetson but maybe my next one I get from Mrs rhonda!!

[@shannonpattenthetexasbb]

My uncle Carl and my stepfather Bill had those feather bands on their cowboy and they got me in the dressing like that and I probably watch the movie Urban Cowboy no telling how many times

[@jhscheppele2448]

How fast was that bird flying when it hit the front of your hat.

[@johnwang6937]

[@keithbaker5932]

[@Mayito_Tamps]

[@ljgaines8170]

[@neillgarber5096]

[@josephsalazar5831]

[@Tyler_B.]

Getting a hat done by Ronda is the only reason I would ever go to California

[@trentcostello5158]

Spur an lubbock both got some the tuffest fellers you Wana tangle with bet.. lol

[@trentcostello5158]

Should do a cross between a stetson cattlemen an a tuff hedaman hat with the brim trim! I'd buy preferably resistor brand but hell ya!!!

[@TXALTHAUS]

You should do a video on all the hats Larry Hagman wore as JR Ewing on Dallas

[@btuff]

[@mikeywhite6691]

[@Jackson-qy3ve]

The straw had a brick though

[@ljgaines8170]

I worked in a western store at that time when did Urban Cowboy come out the Urban Cowboy line of shirts matching shirts for him and her and the whole nine yards in Corsicana Rogers collection of hats and shirts designer jeans she was right everybody was trying to get in that click it was ridiculous

[@kadecox7591]

Charlie Daniels Texas it’s a mighty fine place to be

[@RichardsWorld]

I might stop by this store. I went to a Cowboy Clothing store today and he didn’t have any Stetson hats in stock. He said Stetson hasn’t accepted any orders for 5 months now.

[@ronaldgavlick732]

You can buy a hat anywhere . Don't know what makes her so special ?

[@btuff]

Probably the fact she gets more views than most shapers?

[@katherinepoletto7875]

One MOVIE YOU DIDN'T TURN OFF WAS -- "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" 1978? JUST SAYING A FACT,boys and girls.

[@robertcalzadillas8224]

Spur TX

[@markaddis84]

*Kotter….the show was called Welcome Back, Kotter.

[@RetroClassic66]

The TV series Travolta was on was Welcome Back, KOTTER, not CARTER. Carter was the President when KOTTER was on TV. KOT-TER. KAH, not CAR. Grrrrrrrr.....

[@btuff]

LMFAO

[@rickeytrammell8502]

Do you ever do a gus hat

[@JoeBob-ve2wc]

I've worked my family land for years. Not one man in my family has tattoos. My Momo would never allow it.

[@dalesmyth7398]

Not everyone loved that movie, including me. We called those old boys Drug Store Cowboys. Bull-riders from that time did not wear a hat shaped like that. They were more opened brimmed, not turned up like that. And the shape of the top, really is wrong. Look at Larry Mahan or Donny Gay's hats, that was the hat shape from then. That style that Travolta was more of a bull-dogger hat, but not quite. I think I didn't like the movie so much because I knew J. Travolta was in that disco movie, and I really hated that thing, had an old gal to talk me into going to see it, man I was ready to leave in the first 5 minutes, but hey, she was a good looking old gal, so I toughed it out. And those feathered headbands back then, gosh awful things. I remember Mickey Gilley wore them, as did a few others, and the guys that I was around the rodeo arenas hated those feathered bands too, something a goat roper would wear on his hat. About this time too, a transition from wearing Levi's to Wrangler blue jeans was on the rise. Me and some of the other fellas still wore stove-pipe Levi's, and then in a few years, they laughed at us. I remember Larry Mahan had a line of clothes, some of the wildest western shirts back then. Donny Gay used to have a clothes store in Norman, Oklahoma, I used to go in there often, met him many times. I grew up admiring Jim Shoulders.

[@asanmartinjr07]

Nothing wrong with Levi's. I never did like Wrangler's.

[@keithbaker5932]

@@asanmartinjr07 - I still wear Levi's. When that book "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" came out about 1981 or '82, one of my aunts said "A real man'll eat whatever he damn well wants to." I think the same applies to what jeans he wears, vehicle he drives, brand of beer he drinks, any of that stuff. I got more to do than worry about other peoples' business.
