I'll have to find the appropriate hat and at least give it a shot.

Is it cattlemen or cattleman?

I wore my old Moose River hat today when I ran (walked) in the 10K Cooper River Bridge Run. As we were heading to the start point early this morning, a local TV station reporter called me over for an interview. The question she asked me was, "are you going to run the race in that hat?"

Then she saw I had my little grandson ony back in a child carrier backpack and the interview shifted from the hat to the baby. But, there for a fleeting moment, a fedora was "in the news."

Guys, on the question of whether or not to wear a hat with a cattleman's crease, I went through similar doubts. Too cowboy looking, it looks goofy from the front, etc. But I spent a lot of time looking at old '50s and '60s photos of politicians and other men wearing Open Roads and Resistols, found some pics of contemporary musicians and other current public figures wearing them. I considered that my dad, who was born and raised and lived his entire life in Texas, wore a cloned version of a silverbelly OR with a cattleman's crease in my earliest memory of him. We live in a predominately urban and suburban culture now, and I still had doubts about whether a hat (or crease) more associated with rural America would fit and not be subject to ridicule. But more and more I thought maybe the advice that we're always giving each other here, to wear the hat and not let it wear you would apply to any hat you decided to wear if you liked the way it looked. There are many examples of urban gentlemen in the 1930s, 1920s and earlier wearing wide-ribboned fedoras with side dents. Alan wears his vintage westerns in the decidedly non-western city of Buffalo. Heck, Joao wears his wide-brimmed westerns proudly in Portugal, where he admittedly stands out as an oddity. The relatively tame cattleman-creased OR began to grow on me. Then I came across this review of a cattleman-creased modern Stetson OR on the Delmonico's website, by someone from Berkeley, CA, a place not associated with any kind of rural life, if it ever was. This pretty much decided it for me.

"There's something about this hat. It isn't a cowboy hat, and it isn't a fedora. It's in between. I steamed the curl down in the front just a teensy bit and this hat is perfect on my head. I get a lot of compliments with it. I love how it makes me look like an NRA loving Republican, when I am Lefty Liberal as they come. Something subversive, yet so historic. Lyndon Johnson wore one. The guys in the picture when Lee Harvey Oswald got shot are wearing them. Now I'm wearing one. So awesome."

Shameless plug I know but I returned home from my trip and my first printing of my first book was waiting for me. I was wearing a banjo Paterson when I got the good news. If you're interested in the Civil War here is a link to my book about a union regiment from my hometown http://www.lulu.com/shop/matthew-a-...teer-infantry/paperback/product-22621778.html
