Why should ’60s Nashville stars have all the fun? Found this original suit on eBay. Sadly, the pants are much too short. Definitely not an all-the-time thing, but it puts a smile on my face to drag it out from time to time.

Age on hats
These two hats are the same model- same dimensions- same age. One was hardly worn- one was worn to death. Take a look.
7X Clear Beaver Stetson
You could pick up a good quality Stetson $7.50 when this hat was made. That $7.50 would buy you a better hat than a modern $150 stetson. This hat cost $50. That was a hell of a lot of hat. The quality of these is amazing.
Stetson cavalry hat
John Wayne would probably like this one.
Stetson XXX
This hat, sold by the Outlaw Trading Post has a raw edge and a corded brim. It is somewhere between a cowboy hat and an open road fedora.
1930s NRA boss of the plains
This one is NRA (National Recovery Administration) marked, which dates it to the early-mid 1930s.
Boss of the plains
Boss of the Plains/ Campaign hat. Clear Nutria Quality. This one had been squished for a long time, and while it’s a lot better than when I got it, no amount of water, steam, or blocking could remove the creases entirely.
No. 1 Quality Stetson Boss of the Plains
I have a weakness for early westerns. I don’t know why- too many cowboy movies as a kid? The allure of the open range?
This is an early Stetson Boss of the plains, probably dating from the 1920s. These were the real working mans hat of the time.
Vintage Stetson Boss of the Plains
This one probably dates from the 1920s. Typical boss of the plains crown. May have had a curled brim edge at one point, but if that’s the case, it’s long since been cut off. Textured leather sweatband, no lining. Wide ribbon. Deep imprints. No. 1 Quality, a western designation of the time. Very high quality fur felt.
Asymmetrical Snap Shirt
Kind of western. Kind of futuristic. Kind of retro.
