I ran across this picture of Edward James Olmos, cool hat and shirt!
I find that he wears hats often.

Frank Phillips. Bartlesville, Oklahoma oilman and founder of Phillips 66.
I'm due for a visit to his old place. It's been quite a few years.

This post shows my roots. Do you suppose it comes from being born in Oklahoma? I enjoy seeing the various hats worn by Sourdough Slim

Even though the event turned into a celebrity gig in its later yrs the Cow Thieves & Outlaws Picnic continued for many yrs after Phillips & all the old timers passed away. And the annual Mountain Man Camp too.

Interesting. The fedora at the end suits him best.

Woolaroc was Frank Phillips’ summer home. He was a big fan of the old West. When he started the picnic & reunion it was by invitation only & one condition was that it was a day of amnesty which all lawmen & outlaws had to agree to. It was a day of fellowship & storytelling. No arrests were ever made. Frank was most comfortable in an old west hat & attire.
Today Woolaroc is mostly a museum & wildlife preserve.
Woolaroc is a great place. I've been up there several times. Phillips really picked out a great place.
Be aware though that there are free roaming buffalo. They are not pets and are not tamed in the least. Give them space as they are boss.

I like the hat, and I think it looks good on her, but I wish Borsalino would stop printing their logo on the ribbon--it makes their hats look like cheap rubbish sold in tourist shops and at gas stations.

If she'd survived long enough, Minnie Pearl could have endorsed them.

I think, we, who believe in, and wear hats, not baseball caps, but hats, fedoras, homburgs, derbys, porkpies and any others including newsboy caps are persons out of time. We should have lived in the days of life in noir, the black and white times of humanity. Heck it's even difficult to find an automobile where-in you can keep your hat on your head whilst driving.

Perhaps, but perspective is much different. We see those days, looking back, as easy, romantic, and with a promising future ahead. Many of us have boxes full of hats. At the time, however, times were tough. The depression, the dust bowl, world wars, and working sun up to sun down, My grandfather's each had two or three hats over their entire lives and those were more tools than fashion.
Great post, however, as it is good to remember the good times and remember the best in our forefathers every now and then. There are a few people I'd like to meet and a few places I'd like to see 100 years ago.
I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

Some of us did, but we were little kids, and our memories are a bit dim.

There is an actor who puts on a one-act play as Mark Twain during season at Hannibal. Mostly telling stories in character but it’s pretty good.

Maybe 10 yrs ago now Cowboys & Indians Magazine attended & covered the celebrity picnic they have nowadays. The columnist & writer from Bartlesville (the Original Cowboy, can’t remember his name) who wrote the book on the CrossBell Ranch & the Mullendore Family Murder usually covers it too.You got my intrest up!!!
Pretty cool !!
