Real Cowboy Hat

[Cyrano]

Around the time of WW II, Danbury Connecticut, about 15 miles from where I grew up, was the hat capital of the nation. There were signs in most businesses: "If you're a salesman, don't come in here unless you're wearing a hat". Most of the production was fedoras, however, this being the east. Stetson had a huge factory there. All gone now; most of it moved west.

Boys,
I've been lookin at horse flesh all my life...
And that right there is as handsome a cowpony as a feller wearin a hat could ever fork.
And I ain't kiddin one bit.

Su Amigo,
Dave
