The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.
In addition to the medal, what he's wearing appears to be grey wool with metal buttons and not styled like a regular business suit, even from that era. -
The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.
Since Mr. Bankhead served as a Confederate officer during the Civil Wear, I suspect that what he is wearing is actually a Confederate veteran uniform? Possibly a reunion photo? -

Show us your Guns!
I have always wanted a Remington M-95 double-derringer, but the fact that ammo hasn’t been available in years and the prices are usually sky-high put a damper on that desire. Over the weekend I found one in very good condition at a “can’t pass this up” price – except that it has a broken hinge...- TPD166

What is your favorite hat crease?
Both of my Heritage Grade CD hats (moonstone and silverbelly) were stiffer than the other two Deluxe CDs. The SB has become very soft, but I wear it more than any others. The moonstone brim is still somewhat stiff, but I have worn it less than the other three (I'm hoping the new crease will... -

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

What is your favorite hat crease?
All this diamond talk prompted me to re-crease my Moonstone Heritage Grade Camp Draft last night. When I get my BGCD back from Texas Hatters, the last non-diamond hold-out will fall! -

Show us your Guns!
I agree. While I started in the revolver days (1981), I did occasionally carry an S&W Model 59 in the early 80s. My agency switched from revolvers in 1987 and most of us carried Glocks (Sig 226 and Beretta 92s were the only other options). I switched agencies in 1989 and was issued a 5906 -...- TPD166

What is your favorite hat crease?
If mine had come out looking like that, I wouldn't have changed it! -
What is your favorite hat crease?
I have four - two diamonds & two teardrops. But I am planning to change another to a diamond when I get it back from TX Hatters in a couple of weeks. -
What is your favorite hat crease?
Maybe it's just me, but I am always amazed at the drastic change in appearance that can come with even the slightest alteration to hat. I have a Campdraft Heritage Grade that I originally made in a center dent/front pinch & rarely wore - one day I decided to change it to a diamond & it's worn... -
