Farmer vs Cowboy

It's all about the hat.

This guy should have gone to Hollywood

But he probably enlisted in the Marines instead.

A Ward Cleaver-ish Cowboy

If Beaver's dad had been a cowboy, he might have worn a cardigan.

Previously on Shorpy

Have we seen him before? I seem to recall the incongruous cardigan sweater and straw hat. In any case, he seems perfectly at ease.

Not a Cowboy

Growing up in the 50's and watching every western movie and TV series created I consider myself an expert on real cowboys. The facts are as follows: No Stetson (sorry, straw hats won't cut it). No six-gun, no Winchester in scabbard, no vest, no chaps and really, a sweater? I'm embarrassed for him. I can't see his feet but I bet he's wearing penny loafers instead of boots. I could go on but I think I've made my case. I just hope Hoppy and Roy never saw this pic.

Where's the bling?

I'm a little disappointed he's not wearing a rhinestone suit. He'll never cut it in Nashville.
