Show us their hats!

[RJR]

This photo isn't of someone famous, outside of our family anyway. But I didn't know where to post this so thought this was good enough. This is a photo of my father-in-law in the 1930's sporting his old 1927 Model T Ford, saddle, bedroll, and a great Western hat. He was a working cowboy in the Nebraska Sandhills for about 50 years. I love this photo. He was a good man.

Farmers in Spur, Texas (in the panhandle, east of Lubbock), 1939. Notice the diversity of styles even then.

I was wondering what to do with all the turkey beards that Grandpa had down at the farm...

Think i’d make a hat brush out of them.

One of my favorites of "their" hats is in the William F. Cody museum in Cody, WY.

Oh yeah! How good was he with Selleck in "Crossfire Trail"? He's a favorite of mine.

And to have a pair of suspenders like the ones in the last pic. I'm in.

At 85 yrs of age if he does any more movies it might just be cameo appearances.

Cavender's has similar suspenders, I think.

I especially liked him in Absence of Malice.

Cool. His were probably done by Bohlin.

The first movie I can recall seeing Mr. Brimley in was Brubaker (1980), but his performance in Absence of Malice the following year made me sit up and take notice. To a degree it set the mold for his portrayals of "no nonsense" characters throughout his career, but he plays those characters so well that it's always a pleasure to watch him.

One of his no-nonsense characters was in "Boys of Twilight", a TV series he shared with Richard Farnsworth. It only lasted a few episodes, but I had high hopes for it. I guess even in the early 90s it was still too anti-entitlement.
