Artwork Featuring Hats
NC Wyeth, father of Andrew, was one of my favorite artists when I was in high school art classes and had time to draw. Many of his paintings had very vivid outdoor imagery and lots of energy. One of my favorites was one of a caped Confederate soldier (guerilla?) in winter woods, looking back... -
Terms Which Have Disappeared
Haha! Both of those are alive and well here in the Southern Appalachians. Although I'll have to say in all my life I've never seen anyone swing or throw a cat. Toss, maybe, but not throw... Another cat saying - "a cord of firewood should be stacked loose enough to let a squirrel run through...- Woodtroll

Not a place for tall hats, or tall vehicles! Pretty neat, though!- Woodtroll

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
That’s sad news indeed. I enjoyed his acting, and he always seemed to me to be a decent, straightforward person.- Woodtroll

Artwork Featuring Hats
That horse's face looks shocked, like he's a southern horse that just learned he's carrying Grant! :D -
Show us their hats!
I sure enjoyed these photos, Brent, thanks for sharing. It sounds like a very interesting life for someone who's not afraid of hard work! No "taco" brims on any of those hats! -
Fedoras afield
A fine hat earning its keep in beautiful country. I really like my R.M. Williams, too. Thanks for sharing these photos! -
The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.
Yes, that's right. The bags wept through (I think they were cotton canvas?), and the air coming into the radiator cooled the water through evaporative cooling. I bet you'd have hot water in that bag if you didn't take it off as soon as the vehicle stopped, though! -
Musician's hats
A true gentleman and a proud American. He will be missed. -

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
That's a real loss. He was much more than an entertainer. He was a real man but still a gentleman, and he was a fiercely proud American. He will certainly be missed. If I'm not mistaken, this is the debut of "In America" on one of the awards shows:- Woodtroll

Fedoras afield
Jiminy cricket that's a high bridge! The second set of photos give it a whole different perspective. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the folks who built those high bridges and trestles by the "primitive" means available at the time. That they have endured all this time credits the... -
Out Your Back Door
We've recently had to cut some mature trees that had gotten big enough to threaten the house; most were saplings or wrist-sized when we got married and moved in here. We also recently lost a couple of big white oaks to age/disease that were large trees when my granddad was a young boy playing...- Woodtroll

Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven
That would certainly warrant a drink, or a few! -
Out Your Back Door
I know some cultures consider a visit from an owl a bad omen, but I think they are really amazing birds. I especially appreciate the great horned owls - lay their eggs in the snowy weather, and still tend them well enough to turn them into young owls. Their calls seem to be common here on cold...- Woodtroll

Looking for hat information?
You may find the RM Williams model of Akubra to your liking, if you have a small-to-medium head. I have one, and it doesn't look that big on me, but I have a very large head. https://www.australiangear.com/rm-williams-by-akubra-mid-brown.html# Current price is about $126 with $16 shipping to US. -
Looking for hat information?
I have an Akubra Adventurer, and while I like the hat in its own right, unless you have a very small head size the Adventurer will not approach the proportions of that hat. I'm fond of larger all-weather hats too, and have gone through a similar search. I agree with DH that focusing on a used... -
The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.
This same thing happened in the “How far do you have to go to be a tourist?” thread a week or two ago. Folks living in places with their own social ills, throwing rocks at other folks. The self-righteous hypocrisy is wearing very thin.
