And the other side. And the back. And from above. And...I wonder what that crease looks like from the front?
It ain't over until the wheels come off and someone goes to jail ...
That first pic looks like Bobby Knight is distressed for having to wear a suit.

Staring off in space, he looks to me like he is getting an inordinate amount of pleasure from a shoeshine. Staged?
It gets confusing. Supposedly LBJ's favorite was the Resistol Wide Country in 3X. Harry Rolnick made them in different sizes for President Johnson so he could give them away to friends and visitors (a la Ammon Carter). But they were said To be gold stamped on the sweatband "Made Expressly For President Lyndon B. Johnson". In SB only. The satin liner has an outline of the State of Texas and reads: "Johnson City LBJ Ranch". I've never seen one.They're calling these Stetsons, but I wonder if they are Resistols? Whichever ... I'll take that row of 7-1/2s.
