Show us their hats!

^^^^^ Dig the bibs @Desert dog !

Do you think you could live with that crease? (I bet you could if you had his hat).

If I had his hat I would wear it as is! Bibs are the only thing I ever saw him wear. I have a great memory of running trot lines with him.

My great uncle Jim seemed to like crooked creases! Here he is with my great grandmother.

Love that photo Ed, but I would have to straighten the crease. LOL

Cowboy Teddy Blue Abbott and (at right) Charles Russell in 1919. Abbott's memoirs inspired the book Lonesome Dove.

I thought this was an interesting photo taken in 1925 at the Reunion of the Old Trail Drivers Association at the ***ter Hotel in San Antonio. Seated is Texas rancher Charles Goodnight. Standing left to right: Gutzon Borglum-sculptor of Mount Rushmore, photographer Erwin Smith, and West Texas Cowboy Blake Alexander. Charlie was a tough old bird and I like his hat.

I like all those old photos of real cowboys. I have noticed, that they aren't quite as picky about their crown treatments as we seem to be!

@Hurricane Jack has a fine Pickett movie poster.

Capt. Joseph Bennett Briggs 1842-1906

No hat but posting this pic as it is rare. Missouri Partisian Ranger John Nichols shown shackled in ball & chain on the day he was executed, 1863.

Probably my brother's first hat, pipe, and most likely his first horse.

I really like this photo. I am a fan of tall open crown hats.

I like this photo too. It's been posted somewhere here before, and every time I see it I'm puzzled by the gent behind the bar wearing what appears to be a modern ball cap.

Yea I think it is short bill cap so it probably isn't too modern, but maybe early part of the 1900's is my guess, but I could be wrong.
