Day 274 - Western Coat and Hat

10/1/2010
This gentleman was proud of the jacket and hat that he had inherited from his brother. Note the wonderful beading down the front and the cape of fur over the shoulders.

Before you say anything, I am not generally in favor of hunting for fur but I will not criticize someone who has such a wonderful example of Western folk art as this jacket.

This photo was taken in June at the National Cookie Cutter Collector's Club Convention in California. This is my friend, Shirley with one of her cookie jars that she won in the convention raffle. We shared a lot of laughs.
