Was this taken just before the gunfight?

Same day but Loving wasn't shot in the back until later.

Richardson looks like he's about to jerk that smoke wagon.

Happy Truman Day (observed) Missourians!

Growing up in Detroit, I used to love his monument. Didn’t know he also had style!

Adam Savage stretches an eBay western. Unfortunately he's fallen under the "everything is an Open Road" spell, because he keeps calling this Resistol western an Open Road .

Yep, it’s clearly a Whippet and not an Open Road. Rookie mistake.

Quite surpised that he didn't have a hat-nozzle for the Jiffy steamer in that massive workshop of his.

A "Rum Bunch" (and their dog) as the Brits liked to say back then.....American photo postcard......circa 1915. I love collecting photos like this...

Authenticated in 2017 thru facial recognition software.

1. Pat Garrett
2. Unknown (Billy Wilson?)
3. Barney Mason
4. Henry McCarty, William H. Bonney, Billy the Kid
5. Dave Rudabaugh

Barney Mason had been a member of a loose knit cattle rustling gang consisting of Billy the Kid, Rudabaugh, & Billy Wilson, when he met & became fast friends with Garrett. Mason eventually agreed to become a gang informant to Garrett.

Pic was likely taken in 1880 with Mason working as a deputy to Garrett when the 3 gang members were being moved from the jail in Las Vegas, NM to Santa Fe, NM under fear of vigilante justice. That may explain why Rudabaugh was allowed to have a gun unless it is merely a prop for the pic. No known pic of Billy Wilson is known to exist.

It's amazing what you come across when doing a search. For what seems like ages I have been looking out for a pair of art deco shoes. These popped up on some page that was nothing to do with shoes.

Then, just below the photo of those shoes, I saw this wonderful picture.

It's thirty four years since we said farewell to Fred, yet it's as though he's still around. We have a TV channel called: Talking Pictures, it regularly shows reruns from yesteryear, last week it was the turn of, The Towering Inferno. Along with an alumni of famous actors in that movie was one, Fred Astaire.
In The Towering Inferno he danced with Jennifer Jones and received his only Academy Award nomination, in the category of Best Supporting Actor.

My mother had a crush on one of the actors of the day, his name was Spangler Arlington Brugh, but MGM gave him a much more Anglo kind of name. Our family name is Taylor, I can tell you in all honesty, my name is not Spangler.

You might have seen him in his trademark Homburg, you will no doubt have seen him inspecting the troops wearing a pith helmet and you've possibly seen him in a topper. But I bet you have never seen him in one of John B. Stetson's finest, have you?

Another share of Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart), the inspiration for me personally wearing hats

I must remember, leave out comments. Where did Churchill find that hat?

Politics are not permitted on the Lounge, but politicians in hats, well that's ok, especially when a certain president is seen sporting some of the finest:

Looks like he chose to have the second one with sprinkles!

Maybe that 's why JFK is reputed to be the one who started the decline in men wearing hats.

Uh oh, here we go again.

A couple of local (Mountain Grove, Missouri) boys from back in the day. What the heck is going on with that "neckwear"? Reminds me of the turtleneck dickies we wore in the '60s/'70s.
