Thanks Randy. You’re the one with all the pretty guitars. The Rand goes in its original box for the summer with plenty of red cedar chips for varmint control. Occasionally I have gotten it out in the summer after dark to wear to a fav cattleman’s steakhouse.Nice one, Jack. I hope the hat is not going into the guitar case for storage.
Dont cha just hate it when a hat draws you in like that lol?
Ah, yes - thanks for pointing that out! I first heard his voice as Friar Tuck in Disney's Robin Hood. Years later, I learned more of his career same as other veteran Western actors.
Ive got some cowboy/ cowgirl/ Pony pics of my Dad and his sister from the early 30's in Kansas City, Mo, and the mid 30s in Compton Calif. Dad said it was the same photographer that knew my Grandfather. This fellow traveled the country from town to town with a pony, a trailer with a mobile darkroom and a supply of Lil cowboy duds. He Developed/ Printed the pictures in the trailer while he was there and let the customers pick out the frames to mount them in. Id say it was an interesting job set.. prob a good life for the pony too considering the time.. although I suspect he was bored... every pic of the pony has its eyes closed. Dad always swore it was a real live pony, but Ive suspected it might have been a stuffed ex-pony lolI posted these under "Kids in hats," and thought members might enjoy them here too.....

All of mine are getting kind of threadbare. Been wondering if the newer 13MWZ‘s are as good & what the cut is like?
I’ve got a pair bought new just a few yrs ago (can’t remember exactly but probably 2022). Cut and fit is pretty much spot on to the older ones, as far as durability, not quite as heavy and hardwearing as the old Wranglers but more so than the current Levi’s.
Been thinking about buying one pair & having them shipped in to see how I like them first. Don’t like to hear that they are lighter weight.
Here’s the pair I have. They’re definitely a bit lighter in colour now than they were when they were new, but they’re one of about 4 pairs of jeans that I currently own so I wear and wash them often. A bit of fading and marks from phone, pliers etc. and a little fraying at the cuffs but honestly not bad at all given the amount of wear I put them through in a relatively short period of time.
The denim is identical to in the past, I bought a '70's NOS vintage pair a while back and recently, a new pair in unwashed rigid denim, the denim looks, feels and washes exactly the same. As far as I know they haven't changed the denim specs on these in decades, if not from their inception, it's the same incredibly hard wearing broken twill in the same unique bright Wrangler blue.
I have a couple pair of blues that are threadbare & worn thru. I have two pair in black that will go a while yet. Been wondering about the sand/wheat color & if they are spandexed or not.
I believe all of the 13mwz colors are still 13. oz non stretch and 100% cotton
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
That's interesting, my newer ones say Made in Mexico of US cotton, so it seems there might be a change since I bought them.
This is interesting to note. I didn’t realise there was so much variation even within that style name. Like the pair I’ve got right now is pretty hardwearing and solid, but I know I’ve had others in the past that were heavier and still had that same 13mwz label.
