And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
So, help me out here - on the few occasions when I’ve worn a “cowboy” hat I knew which way to put it on because the little tied ribbon in the sweat band was supposed to go in the back. A hat which starts with a flat, round brim . . . I suppose the owner can shape the brim and the crown as he pleases. So how can you look at somebody else’s hat and tell that it’s on backward? Inquiring minds . . .
Crown folds are either equal front to back or slightly forward. I have never seen the the folds at the back but you are right, it can be made that way. Just never have seen it. Been wearing them for over 65 years. Straw summers felt winters. Lost a few to the wimmins.................
Ahem....(raises hand from the back row)....That's the way "they" are wearin' 'em now. The front rim is shaped wider than the back. I know, I know stoopid but hey, when the Austin gyrls get all doey-eyed while looking at you....well, hm.......
nope. she's got it right.
ReplyDeleteForwards, backwards, upside down, on top, or underneath, I wouldn't care.. I'd just be happy to be there.
ReplyDeleteno. she's just looking backward - optical illusion
ReplyDeleteHat's on right, but too much makeup for sure.
ReplyDeleteStill looks good.
ReplyDeleteNah, you know she's got both arms full of ink.

DeleteThe buckle on the band is supposed to be on the left side, but...
DeleteWho cares if the hat's on backwards or that she may have on a bit too much makeup? She's stunningly beautiful...
ReplyDeleteHat's okay; too much war paint.
ReplyDeleteToo much war paint for work, unless she works in town. Just say'n.
DeleteJpaul
I guess too much paint and baubles but she carries it very, very well.
ReplyDeleteIt's like bodywork on a vehicle: if you can see it, it's not done right!
