The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

[Lotsahats]

It's www.shorpy.com, a vintage photo website.

Is "shorpy" the name of a specific photographer or gallery? What constitutes "non-shorpy?" Is it anything before color photography?

Anyway, these are always great to see. Josh, your collection is FANTASTIC. I have saved several images onto my computer. Unbelievable stuff.

Shorpy is a vintage photography site that post's images from the Libary of Congress collection of images along with a few found images.
Back a while ago we where posting images that came from other sites other than Shorpy and someone didn't like that So this thread was born.
The Non Shorpy thread is for image found on the web that you find in your travels of the Inter tubes that you would like to share here.
Shorpy block's image linking so you have to download and Shorpy image and store it on you image hosting account. Non Shorpy images can be posted from what ever site that you find an image link that will post just the image to the thread.

Thanks, Jeff! I picked ones that I found interesting, but there are a ton more photos on etsy.

Found on-line. It's not a campaign hat, but it reminds me of one. No surprise, eh?

Thanks Ed, I love these old photos.
Also notice they have their hats on at the lunch counter.

Great pleats in those jackets too and note that a Cattlemen's Crease in not a Cowboy's Crease.

You are right Robert. I believe that it is a hold over from the 'western' days.
The area went from a frontier towns to 'big' citys.
The style of dress changed but some traits remained.

Not much point of a lunch counter if you can't wear your hat. It's supposed to be a democratic institution - at least since the early '60s anyway.

Those campaigners remind me of a bad@ss hat...

Don't let his intense expression fool you; Major Clarence Tinker, USAAC, was well beloved by his airmen. At the time of this photo, about 1931, he commanded the 20th Pursuit Group at Mather Field, California, and was busy with the creation of a "rest camp" where fliers could go to relax and restore their nerves. Tinker rose to major general early in WW2, losing his life in a B-24 crash over the Pacific in 1942.

Reminds me of Warren Oates.

No surprise especially given the wearer's identity:
