Very cool- more stories please keep em coming thanks for the entertainment it changed my disposition after looking for gas for the last 2 days down in North Cacalacky
Thanks for watching, Robert! Man, i'm sorry for the woes back in the USA...been trying to keep up with the news here in Germany. Is the situation getting any better?
Hey Todd, thanks for watching! I was kind of in the same boat...i knew bits and pieces, but wow...what a “rags to riches” story! Anything else specifically, that you’d like to see?
Great stuff! You always knew a Nudie! My mom lived next door to Porter Wagoner when he was an up and comer and just starting to get his look going. Great post!
@@THEjohnnyfalstaff No. I don't remember exactly. I do know my mother lived in Missouri. I would guess either Sedalia or Joplin. I'm leaning towards Sedalia Mo. She was around 15 and he was older. Him and the band he had would always sit on his porch playing music. Mom said they'd always whistle at her if she walked by lol.
Thanks for that. I knew them as Nudie Suits for a very long time before I understood the story behind them. Awesome. From the days when musicians had some appreciation for the "show".
Hey 78, thanks for watching! Yeah, it feels like you get more bang for your concert buck when the artist doesnt look like he just finished mowing the grass before going onstage.
Thank you for taking the time to make this very informative video. Love the cool outfits. Love your stories and videos. Hope you’re feeling better.. God Bless you sir.
Hi Susan, thanks for watching! It’s cool to dive into these kind of videos...i thought i knew quite a bit about the gentleman, but there’s always room to learn a little more. 🤠Feeling pretty darn good over here, getting better all the time!
I always loved those Nudie suits on Buck and the boys.I want one or 2 but they’re so expensive. I’ve always fronted country bands and I’ve always thought we were supposed to be looking sharp.
Thank you for that info, and thank you for keeping our Honky Tonk country culture alive! Heard of so-called country song with bongos the other day! Keep on picking and singing 🤠 🎸
Hey Donnie! Thanks man, I appreciate it...keeping busy with writing and making this kinda stuff till i get my voice whipped back into shape. You doing any pickin these days?
Was at the Lankersheim store once in the early 80s. Bought a rufflled shirt. The store was very large, almost warehouse-like. And it had mostly brand name clothes, like H Bar C, the Nudie made stuff being available by request/appointment. The knid of place you could spend 12 hours in and still never see it all.
@@THEjohnnyfalstaff Yes, several. Oohs & ahhs for days. There were also lots of plain western shirts, formally wrapped in cellophane packaging, pinned to the cardboard stiffeners. Very old school. The odd (sad) part was, I was the only customer in the store.
What? The only customer? Man, that is sad...but we had it similar in Houston (minus the Nudie suits, of course)...old school western wear store - cellophaned H Bar C shirts and very few shoppers.
You would make a fine narrator for all the classic biography shows about the musicians of early County Music. Fire Marty Stewart and give you his job. I understand Marty has the largest collection of those suits in the World....Pretty sure. I enjoy the history lessons you put out. Well made, Brother. I hope I spelled Stewart correctly and hope it isn't Stuart. Any how, I hope you're up to the 80% level now. See ya!
Thanks Patrick! Haha!!! Naw, i think Marty is the guy for the job...would love to crack open a beer with him. Hell...I’d love to crack open a beer with anybody at this point in the lockdown! Still slowly bouncing back, but getting there! Yeah, it’s Stuart, sorry bro! 🤠
Sehr interessante mini Sendung Johnny, danke..👍 Toll gemacht mit passender background music.. 💖 Diese Anzüge sind die reinsten Kunstwerke.. Sind und bleiben jedoch Geschmack Sache.. Danke, war sehr unterhaltsam !! 😍
Hallo Gaby, danke fürs Zuschauen! Ich war schon immer ein großer Fan der Nudie-Anzüge, leider sind sie ein teurer Schatz! Vielleicht eines Tages in der Zukunft ...
Thanks for Johnny for telling us about this amazing Honky Tonk Country tailor and I hope that you will own one especially designed for you. Your friend from Cape-Town,in South-Africa
The ONLY time I ever considered having a baby happened at Nudie's on Lankershim in 1992. I was looking around in awe at everything, hoping to spot someone famous (especially Dwight Yoakam), and saw a pair of baby diaper pins. There were little guns in holsters! Damn, I should've gotten them regardless.
Hi Carina! So were you considering a baby because of Dwight Yoakum or the cool accessories? 😊 I had those diaper pins when i was a baby, Mom still has them!
Thanks KM, i have some ideas on the burner. I did make a “Top 5 Honky Tonkers” and a “What is Honky Tonk” that you may find interesting. But WOW, you met Angus Scrimm!!!! Havent thought about him in years!
@@THEjohnnyfalstaff Ha. Guess you saw the video of my son. Yeah. Scrimm was a true gentleman. My kid grew up on film sets because of my work, but he was actually star struck by Angus Scrimm. The only time I've seen that happen. BTW, my son's gone from a chubby kid to a handsome young man...he's the angry teen in this music video (I did some of the makeup fx for the shoot). Check it out if you get the chance: th-cam.com/video/r1gqt96Cq4c/w-d-xo.html
@@kmhorrorbiz8706 i saw it, was so cool to see Mr. Scrimm! I watched the music vid, too…while it’s not my thing musically, the video is excellent, you guys nailed it. Where are you located? Where can i see more examples of your work?
@@THEjohnnyfalstaff Thanks! Not exactly my kind of music either, but I enjoy working with the crew that shot it. I'm in Atlanta and work at Silver Scream FX (you can find me under the artists tab at silverscreamfxlab.com). We're the folks who made the Cheddar Goblin for the Nicholas Cage movie, Mandy. Mostly, I make rubber monsters for movies and tv shows. You might find this weird little short film that I worked on amusing--th-cam.com/video/gEzXRuGujGc/w-d-xo.html. By the way, my wife's a fan of yours too. We really enjoyed Honky Tonk Blood. The Twister scene is definitely the stand-out moment. Classic.
@@THEjohnnyfalstaff Just sent you a friend request on FB. If you're curious, you scroll around my page and see some of the monster and mask stuff I've done.
Hey Jeff! Yeah, super cool threads! I actually had the good fortune to try on a Porter Wagner suit from the 70s, it was like draping a masterpiece on your body… Absolutely surreal!
Oh man, I hope that Wynn Stewart suit went to someone good. He was super short so it probably would not have fit the average modern hipster. Are you still in touch with the store owner?
@@THEjohnnyfalstaff my mother in law is Nudie’s grand daughter, Jamie Nudie. She and a business partner opened Nudie’s Honky Tonk in Nashville, which is now THEE hot spot on Broadway. There is some Nudie’s merch available at nudiesrodeotailor.com. You should reach out to Jamie Nudie on social media and say hello, she loves talking all things Nudie. She’d be happy you stopped by to say hello. Cheers!
@@deathcoredad Hi Angelo! I bet you guys have some fantastic stories. I did have a short conversation with Jamie on instagram...super nice lady! Hope to meet you all someday, maybe even do some picking in Nudie's Honky Tonk. :)
Great story!
Thanks Terry! yep, he achieved the American Dream!

Dang, I’ve known that Nudie was the designer but never knew the history!! You’re a veritable wealth of knowledge, thanks for sharing
Hey Todd, thanks for watching! I was kind of in the same boat...i knew bits and pieces, but wow...what a “rags to riches” story! Anything else specifically, that you’d like to see?
Nothing says cool like a Nudie suit!! Thanks for sharing!!
Hey Ben, i wish i could afford to be that cool! 🤠

Great job. 👍
Thank you much, Wild Bill!
Knowledge is power. You Sir are Powerful!
Well, some mornings are better than others! Haha! Looks like you are doing quite well these days, Mr. Daniel!
The short waisted coats are my fav’s.
Very nice! I knew a little about Nudie suits but not all these details. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching, Will!
That was amazing, Brother! Well done! Hope you are healing. xoxoxo
Thanks Lee! All is going well on this side of the pond, sure could use some vitamin Texas, tho...hope to get back soon!
My father in law was Doye O Dell. He had a lot of stuff made by Nudie.
Thanks for that. I knew them as Nudie Suits for a very long time before I understood the story behind them. Awesome. From the days when musicians had some appreciation for the "show".
Hey 78, thanks for watching! Yeah, it feels like you get more bang for your concert buck when the artist doesnt look like he just finished mowing the grass before going onstage.
@@THEjohnnyfalstaff you can still get a lot of bang for your concert buck at a Marilyn Manson concert with all the costume changes !
@@sheridavis5555 haha!!! While Mr. Manson really isnt my thing, i must admit that the gentleman definitely puts the SHOW in SHOWbusiness.
I love this!!!
Hey BT, thanks for watching!
Damn straight I bought it
An offer we couldn’t refuse! 🐴
Absolutely Cool!
Hey Javier, thanks for watching!

Thank you for that info, and thank you for keeping our Honky Tonk country culture alive! Heard of so-called country song with bongos the other day! Keep on picking and singing 🤠 🎸
We’re giving it hell, Luke! ...without the bongos. 🤠🎸💪🏻

I’ve wanted by one of those suits since I saw Porter Waggoner on TV as a tiny child. I can sew, have studied tailoring, it’s time to make one!
Wow!!! I need one in my life as well!!!

Buck Owens suits were actually made by Nathan Turk.

I heard Prince inspired Newdie back in the 40s.
How are you doing today Pecos? You're the one that turned me on to Johnny through your channel. I thank you for all you do.

@@patrickspringer6534 Cheers Patrick. Make sure you've seen Johnny and my video in Huntsville TX.
never knew tex williams was one of nudie’s first customers
Yeah, his story is a great one!
Oh man, I hope that Wynn Stewart suit went to someone good. He was super short so it probably would not have fit the average modern hipster. Are you still in touch with the store owner?
Me too, S! Unfortunately the the owner passed away shortly after, and the store closed. Lord only knows what happened to that stuff.
