Hat Maker's Craft and Life Echo Old West
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO — He is of an era when men rode the range, packed steel revolvers and toughed it out with nature, protected only by their wits and good fortune.
The problem is that Larry Rosenbaum lives in a time of cell phones, digital recordings and television.
Still, Rosenbaum has managed to carve out a niche for himself, creating a way of life that resembles the 1890s more than the 1990s. He doesn't own a television, uses a bedroll instead of a tent when camping and shuns matches in favor of steel and flint.

Rosenbaum is one of the few people left in the nation who make beaver felt cowboy hats in the old tradition--handmade, individually crafted to fit a person's build and character.
He is a one-of-a-kind hat maker in a time when few people wear hats. But he sells his wares in a place where the rough-and-tumble lives of pioneers are appreciated--Mission San Juan Capistrano.
