"...photo from 1920 features the Stetson Harmony Circle including John B. Stetson Company salesmen sporting several of the styles offered at the time. This photo was originally published in the March 1920 edition of the 'Hat Box'." -- Stetson University duPont-Ball Library Archives.

I'd wear any one of those, but would probably have trouble getting past door frames with the one worn by the fellow seated on the floor on the far right.

"Girls from the Plains," 1917. Marguerite (Carignan) Primeau, left, and Genevieve (Forte) Froelich would both turn 20 in 1917. Genevieve was rolling a cigarette, while Marguerite held one. The portrait was a light-hearted spoof of how many cowboys, and wannabe cowboys, had been photographed. Frank Bennett Fiske made the portrait at his Fort Yates (ND) studio on the Standing Rock Reservation.

I wonder if the Old 97's ever covered that?

Happy Decoration Day.

I wouldn't mind the morning commute so much if it afforded this kind of view...

Always liked this look but that's too much daily shaving & trimming.

I like how the dog has a chair. You should share that one over on the Bib Overalls and Suit Jackets thread:

Bib overalls and suit jackets

Can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about bib overalls worn with an old sports jacket (or likelier an orphaned suit jacket) that looks oddly "right" to me. I am reminded of this by photos of one of our own so attired at the Hooverville picnic our Southern California...

Jack, I ran across some info on a J. W. Gibson harness co. in TX that sold out to Stetson in 1899. Also, according to Shepler's company history, the company started when Harry Shepler bought the J. W. Gibson Harness Co. which operated in KS from 1899-1946.

Good info BB. It definitely appears to be Gibson.
