[QUOTE="red dirt shootist, post: 4215186, member: 52708"] I missed meeting Mcqueen by about 15 minutes, in Hamilton Montana around 78 or '79. I had gotten to be friends with a guy that had a 2nd hand store there, it was pretty upscale, and one morning I went into town to pick some things up and I stopped at the store. The guy says you just missed Steve McQueen, I say no kidding, he says remember those Angora chaps, and my head swivels to a blank spot on the wall, and I look back, and he says yeah he bought em. Now those chaps were museum quality white angora wool, long fluffy wool, batwing style, anybody that is into vintage cowboy stuff would have killed for them, I don't remember the price, they were way out of my reach, but I looked at them every time I went into the store like they were the Mona Lisa. Stuff like that, the saddles, the chaps, the spurs, the bridles are such rare and one of a kind thing from the west, a really special time and place in our country. The movie Tom Horn, the next time you see it, look at the hats, what a collection of beautifully blocked hats. The lore of the west and the cowboy is something we should never let die. And obviously it meant something to McQueen. So anyway, I have that going for me. [/QUOTE]
