Maybe. Based on that photo, he seemed to be a little fastidious.

There is a hat somewhere in the paper...and it fits the thread. At any rate, it is the holiday season and if you are wondering what to get your loved one for Christmas in 1886, may I make a suggestion...

Thursday, December 20, 1877, famous Old-West outlaw Sam Bass (1851-1878) & his gang held up & robbed the Fort Worth-to-Cleburne stagecoach about ten miles south of Fort Worth. After relieving the two occupants of the coach of all their cash -- a grand total of eleven dollars & twenty-five cents, the outlaws allowed the coach to proceed upon its way, after which the gang members made their way to Fort Worth to hide out & spend their ill-gotten gains in the infamous Hell’s Half Acre red-light district (present-day site of the Fort Worth Convention Center & the Fort Worth Water Gardens).

☞The 1876 photograph depicting Sam Bass with some of his gang members was taken at a Dallas photography studio during a cattle drive to Kansas. In the photograph, standing left-to-right, are Sam Bass & John E. Gardner, & seated left-to-right are Joel Collins & his brother Joe. Note: The gang members in this particular photograph are not necessarily the same outlaws who accompanied Sam Bass during the December 20, 1877 stagecoach robbery.

He may have been. Seems to have paid a lot of attention to his outfit!

Cool shot. Could be where Rene Magritte got his idea from...

There's a joke in there with beaver and fur and the like for sure. I just can't think of it. I'm convinced this is what @Joao Encarnado's image of heaven is though.
