I carried my hat all the way to Israel with me. Here I am standing in the ruins of Caesarea-Philippi wearing my Merry Men hat and my TCU shirt.

God bless,Mudd
Guess I'll have to make my own. Missed out on the last couple auctions :knothead:
It's getting about time for me to do a giveaway.
Maybe I can get another one put together in time for a 4th of July giveaway. (I'll let everyone know)
God bless,Mudd
Okay I have to get one of these.Where can I get one or does anyone have any instructions on how to make one.Thanks John
x2 on the instructions... I can wear it while I watch Robin Hood. Wife thinks I am crazy anyway.
What say ye Mudd?
Here is something that might work.
If anyone knows how to do a drawing on the computer and can post it up on here.
I would gladly send that person the pattern so it could be shared with anyone that might have the desire to make one.
What do you think?
God bless,Mudd
Mudd,
Sent a PM with my address.
Gerry
That is a fine, fine hat.
My wife yells at me for sunburning my balding head over and over. She tells me I need a hat. I wonder if she's right?
I could but will be away from a computer for a while
Good on ya Mudd!!!!! I know my little ones would love to join your tribe :clapper:
Gerry I have a pattern cut out and I'll send it along with instructions.
If you can get a drawing of the pattern up with measurements and instructions then anyone who wants can make one without having to wait for me.
Pictures of you(whoever) wearing said hat automatically places you in the ranks of "Mudd's Merry Men" of "Sherwood"....lol
God bless,Mudd
Mudd - I'm not sure which I like better on you - the tights or the kilt ;)
Here's mine.

Mudd,
I will get it done one way or another. I think any well dressed archer needs a fine hat like this. Of course I will post a picture of me wearing it.
Gerry
OK, These are great. I have to make one. Thanks for posting pics!

58 years ago, anyone wore a Robin Hood hat before that?
That's a 1953 Mercury in the background

Mr LaClair thank you for those photos.
Somehow I just knew in my heart of hearts that you also journeyed through "Sherwood".
Welcome to "Mudd's Merry Men" @@
God bless,Mudd
PS; I owe you even more because you make me feel young again...lol
I got to make me one of those, i will be watching for the pattern post, my friends will think i am a little crazy, but then they probably already do.
You're most welcome Mr Mudd.... I am honored to be in the society.
Froggy
Mudd,
I made a 1/2 size drawing for now. Too big for my scanner, will try local copier store.

Ok hopefully it worked this time. Here is the drawing, pretty simple pattern.

Thank you Gerry!!
Now anyone who wants can make a hat but entry into "Mudd's Merry Men" means you've got to be man or woman enough to post up a picture on Pow Wow wearing it...lol
:archer:
Mudd, have you ever heard the Robin Hood song. It's sung to the tune of Streets of Laredo.
As I walked down through the green debts of Sherwood as I walked down through fair Sherwood one day
I met a young bowman all dressed in green Lincoln all dressed in green Lincoln and singing so gay
"Brace the bow oh so tight, it has to be just right then place the cloth yard against it's side A strong arm to draw it, then gently release it and true to it's mark the arrow will fly"
I ask the young bowman from whence he had come there he said I'm an outlaw, in hiding am I The grass is my bed and the leaves are my pillow my walls are the trees and my roof is the sky
He said, I shot an arrow at yonder stag there the keen edge broadhead pierced clear through his side he ran to the forest, where he sought safety he fell to the ground and there he died
Three blast from my horn brought my men from the greenwood we carried the stag to our camp in the glen, we roasted and toasted, of long shots we boasted no better companions than my Merry Men
His song slowly faded away in the greenwood,.. was he ever really here at all? now listen so faintly...the sound of a horn there would that be...could that be...Robin Hoods call?
Here it is..

Ron,
Most excellent - Marty would approve.
Mudd,
You are welcome but we are thankful for folks like you on this site. I will try making one this weekend. Need one for my dog.
Again, thank you.
Here's another "Merry Man".

PS:I believe this is Sir Paul of Athensham...apprentice in training.
That's my bud Keith Paul. Came up to the house and shot a bit with me, had him don the MMM hat .... he's not a member yet, but will be soon. Thanks for putting the pic up Mudd !!!

Mudd was kind enough to send me the template. I made mine out of a wool army blanket and it is actually quite warm. I see a couple other wool hats that Mudd made with some of the wool I sent him. Way Cool!
Got my pattern, now to find the material, and make me a hat. Ron, that was a bang up job on the Robin Hood song, never heard before, and you dont even need music.LoL
Here's the newest members of "Mudd's Merry Men" that came over and did some shooting with me today.

Great picture of your grandson David.
Thanks for sharing.

Weelll, now I've got to have one for sure. I've thought about it before but now it's definite.
I will try to find the picture of my son's first Halloween, he was Robin Hood. That was like 23 years ago! I made his costume, hat and all.
Ron, I really like that video. Too cool!
Awesome Aidan.."The Arrow" lion killer!
"I got him!"
