Do you think they wanted the people in Detroit to know they were from Texas? And I'd love to have the hat on the far left!

I actually want one too. Even though I live in Texas, I don't think my wife would be caught dead with me wearing one of those. They're pretty cool though.

Thanks for posting, RBH. This photo is a good example for the hat etiquette thread. Note that none of the gentleman seated at tables are wearing their hats, which are hanging on the wall to the left. However, quite a few of the gentlemen seated at the counter are wearing their hats.
