THE INFAMOUS DERBY GANG RIDES AGAIN!

[Queasy Dillo]

I love membership discounts.   

[theirishguard]

maybe a derby with a western brim, larger, would work.  go to  www.cmhats.com   Tom

I am an old retired Deputy Sheriff, those cmhats folks are out of my price range. Those derby's are made for skinny folks, not an old tall, fat retired Cop.

Have you looked....really LOOKED...at my avatar?

My Dear Lawdog, do not sell yourself short - Oliver Hardy was 6 foot 1 and over 300 pounds and wore his derby quite well ....
not to mention the Coonskin Cap he wore opposite John Wayne in The Fighting Kentuckian.

Well...that's one reason I like mine (aside from its inherent stylish nature).  It's one of the few hats I've found that doesn't make my face look fat. 

No more than the inevitable.

I fear I suffer from the opposite effect - "too much" hat and I look like a bean-pole with a giant sombrero perched atop it ....
add to that my inherent receding chinline and "weasel-like" countenance and the derby just makes me look like Stan Laurel and people double over when'er I pass by ....

What about those of us that just wear one part-time? Are we eligible?

[Forty Rod]

Post a picture just once and you're branded.....uh accepted..... for life.

[Brunello DeSalva]

Howdy, this here is my first post. Not a big fan of posting but I do enjoy reading and lurking about. Any whoot, I have broke my silence to support this here hat faction... goes to show that not all of us "shooters" is a ranch or cattle worker. Some of us is plain ol' good nature, city folk that make a honest living by the good ol' trait of bushwhacking!

Hi,

I just wanted to paste this pic to show that I am a standing member of the Derby Gang ...

[Forty Rod]

Welcome aboard fellas.  Ain't we a handsome bunch?   

[Texas Lawdog]

Forty, I plan on becoming a member of the Derby Gang. I got an shave and a haircut after one year and now I am ready to become a member of this distinguished group.

[Forty Rod]

Show us that fine hat.

You'll be welcome as a cool drink in west Texas.

Down at Walkers 47's swap meet yesterday and a kid about ten years old said he liked my hat.  I talked to him for a bit and we may have a new convert.

Forty, I ordered me a Derby today. I hope it will be here when I get back home on Sunday.

[Forty Rod]

Well, there goes the neighborh.....I mean, WELCOME ABOARD!


The more the merrier.

[Queasy Dillo]

Hey Uncle Forty - ain't the neighborhood been broke for a while now?  I seem to recall a certain downhill slide along about the time I showed up. 


Wait....




....say, you figure there's a connection there?   

[Forty Rod]

If it wasn't so much fun sliding, I wouldn't have slid in the first place.  I have slud ('tis so a real word.) for so long now I couldn't stop if I wanted to.
