American Cowboy Features the Edge Ridge Hat Band

February 4, 2011

American Cowboy recently issued a Collector’s Edition dedicated to John Wayne. Page 46 features a picture of Wayne in traditional western gear. They then list all of the places you can purchase similar items today. We are pleased that American Cowboy recommended David Morgan’s own Edge Ridge Hat Band. The article was written by accomplished Western Stylist Thea Marx.

All of our braided hat bands are made of kangaroo leather. Besides being one of the strongest leathers around, kangaroo leather is also supple and light. Not only do we use it for our hat bands, but also for our chin straps and whips.

Kangaroo Lace

September 10, 2010

David Morgan sells two types of lace: hand-cut and machine-cut. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. Use the information below to help plan your next braiding project.

Hand-Cut Lace:

Hand-cut lace is best for small projects, such as hat bands and lanyards. The lace is cut in our own workshop. Unlike a machine, we are able to avoid any scars in the skin. We stretch and test each roll. There is, at a maximum, only one join per 60 foot roll. Available in black and tan. Sizes: 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch.

1/8 Inch Hand-Cut Lace

Machine-Cut Lace:

Machine-cut lace is cheaper than our hand-cut lace and is recommended for beginners. However, a machine cannot navigate around scars and will include weak points in the lace. It is also not stretched and tested. There are usually two to three joins per 50 meters of lace. Available in black and tan. Sizes: 3 mm and 6 mm (approximately 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch).

Pure fur felt in Akubra’s Imperial Quality. The hat is fully lined and has a 1 1/2 inch grosgrain band. Carbon Grey.

Our Moccasins: The Hinman Tradition Continues

July 16, 2010

Moccasins have been a part of the American landscape for hundreds of years. Soft and comfortable, their popularity has never waned. Many wear them around the home or in the outdoors. The soft and supple leather fits like a second skin.

Our leather moccasins are made by the Geier Glove Company in Centralia, Washington. Geier purchased the business from the Hinman family. In 1960, Fred Hinman, a taxidermist, began crafting the moccasins using the traditional style.

David Morgan sells three types of moccasins. The Leather Moose Moccasin with the high ankle or low ankle, and the Leather Bison Moccasin (low ankle) with Sole.

Our Western Inheritance

Karaka Whips

June 10, 2010

Although David Morgan is known for its leather whips, we understand the cost can be prohibitive for some. Since many new whip enthusiasts aren’t sure if they want to pay the price for a leather whip, we provide a synthetic version made by Karaka of New Zealand.

Karaka Products is one of New Zealand’s leading providers of whips. Because the whips are synthetic, the cost is much lower than a leather whip. They are also low maintenance. Not only can they get wet, but they work well even when wet. They can be used in the snow or mud. And if you get them dirty, water will clean them. They do not rot, will not break easily, and are maintenance free. They do not stretch, and there is no need to add any dressing. Inexperienced users can feel secure knowing that they will not damage the whip.

While you can find a cheap whip on Ebay, they will likely be too light, too loose, and a real challenge to crack. Don’t buy a wall hanger, get started in the right direction with a Karaka.

For Valentine’s Day: Everlasting Love Jewelry

January 29, 2010

The Celtic symbol of everlasting love – in Welsh, serch bythol – is formed from two triskeles. The triskele, a three cornered knot, denotes body, mind and spirit. When two triskeles are joined together, they form an everlasting circle of eternity. Thus the figure represents two people, joined in body, mind, and spirit in everlasting love.

Everlasting Love Bracelet: The three symbols entwined denote past, present, and future. Devolved length is 6-1/4 inches, width at the center is 3/4 inch.

Everlasting Love Earrings: These sterling silver fishhook earrings are double sided, about 1-3/16″ long.

Everlasting Love Necklet: This sterling silver necklet is double sided, about 1-3/16″ long. An 18″ sterling silver chain is included.

Trade Bracelets, An Excellent Christmas Gift

December 4, 2009

A trade bracelet is a unique gift for someone who appreciates wildlife. The bracelets we carry were originally created in Seattle using designs from Tlingit carvers. They were sold to Indians along the Pacific Northwest coast who would then give them away at Potlatches. Our bracelets are struck from dies made in the early 1900s. The designs were created by Bill Wilson, a Tlingit from Hoonah, Alaska.

Each piece reveals a detailed image of an animal set at both ends of the bracelet. They are narrow and will sit nicely on a slim wrist.

Lace Cutters Back in Stock

October 30, 2009

Update: January 10th, 2018. Unfortunately, The Thomas Company is no longer making the lace cutter. We hope to find a new manufacturer soon. Or, if you or a friend are handy with carpentry and would enjoy making 25 or so of these at a time please contact us at: catalog at davidmorgan.com or give us a call at: (800) 234-4934.

When we sold our last lace cutter several months ago, we discovered many people still wanted to purchase one. We found The Thomas Company, a local Seattle company, to make a new lace cutter based on the old specs.

This leather tool is a favorite of magician and whipmaker Louie Foxx. Louie has told us he’s tried a lot of the other lace cutters and prefers this one for comfort and durability.

Made of beechwood, it holds an injector blade that adjusts the lace width from under 1/8 inch up to about 1/2 inch. Two razor blades are included with each cutter.

Although the lace cutter is adjustable, we find it easiest to use multiple cutters set to each width we routinely need. For more information on using the lace cutter, please see David Morgan’s book Braiding Fine Leather.

New Drizabone Products

July 24, 2009

David Morgan has added several new Drizabone products to its catalog. All are fabricated with the same 12 ounce oilskin cotton used in the traditional Rider’s Coat.

The Brumby Jacket is a shorter, bomber style coat. Lined with flannel, with corduroy collar and cuffs, it’s great for a stormy night.

The Bush Hat is made of the same oil cloth as the rest of Drizabone products. It’s tough enough for the Australian bush, so you can depend on it in a thorny patch. Water repellent, with meshed side vents for breathability.

Drizabone’s Travel Wallet will stand up to the toughest adventures. It’s large enough to carry all of your cards, cash and checks. The dry waxed cotton doesn’t have a greasy feel.
