How do you wear your Hat?

BARBECUE GUYS SEEM TO HAVE INCREDIBLE VARIETY OF HEAD GEAR .. HEALTH DEPARTMENTS ARE FOND OF HAIR NETS AND HAVE SEEN MANY BEARDED COMPATRIOT WEARING THOSE SAME HAIR NETS IN MEAT PROCESSING PLANTS. THANKFULLY WE HAVEN'T BEEN REQUESTED TO DON SAID ATTIRE ON THE BARBECUE CIRCUIT.. CHECKING BACK THROUGH OLD PHOTOS OF THE BONES CREW ON THE ROADS OF AMERICA, I NOTICED WE HAVE INTERPRETED HEAD GEAR TO MEAN AS LITTLE AS A EYE SHADE IMPRINTED WITH THE B.BONES LOGO TO FULL DRESSED CUSTOM COWBOY HATS .. MY FIRST WAS A WRANGLER, DENNIM  NUMBER FROM A LOCAL SADDLERY SHOP. BLUE AND HEAVY, I LOOKED TO REMOVE IT AS SOON AS THE SUN HAD SET. BROTHER JERRY,  A RIDER OF MANY A HOG, ALWAYS ARRIVED WITH TAILPIPES GLOWING RED HOT AND A BUG SPLATTERED ,JACKET BENEATH WHICH, WAS THE USUAL ROAD OUTFIT, LEATHER PANTS, TOO WIDE LEATHER BELT,  A T SHIRT THAT PUT WIMEN IN THEIR PLACE. ( OFTEN SEATED BEHIND HIM ) AND HEAD LKERCHIEF FOLDED TO SHOW THE BRAND OF A LOCAL WATERING HOLE OR THE SIMPLE AND NEEDING NO EXPLANATION SKULL AND CROSSBONES.. HE WAS A GRILLING FOOL AND WAS A GREAT ADDITION TO THE TEAM.. HEAD BANDS BE HUNG, HE WAS THE MOST FUN WE HAD BEHIND THE GRILLS.. BROTHER JERRY ALWAYS LEFT ON THE LAST DAY OF THE EVNT, NEVER STAYING TO PARTY, WITH FRESH CASH IN HIS POCKETS, HE WAS ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER PARTIES ... THROUGHOUT THE YEARS WE DONNED TRUCKSTOP, DUMP BIN HATS SELLING FROM $9.95 TO $29.95  ALWAYS A FAVORITE WITH THE TRUCKSTOP CASHIERS AS WE TROOPED OUT WITH 10 TO 20 NEW HATS FROM THEIR SALE BARREL.. SOMETIMES THEY THREW IN AN EXTRA EGG BISKET SANDWICE . JUST THEIR WAY OF SAYING THANKYOU .. FEEDSTORES AND DISCOUNT TRACTOR SUPPLY  STORES.,  SINCLAIR STATIONS AND . ALL SPORTING EVENTS WERE ONCE WORN UPON OUR HEADS.. I HAVE A TOP HAT WORN FOR CHILI COMPETITIONS THAT STILL REEKS OF GREASE, CHEAP BEER AND SMOKE.. IT CAME COMPLETE WITH LEATHER TRAVELING BOX AND AT FIFTY BUCKS WAS TOO CHARMING TO TURN DOWN .. ON OF MY FAVORITE HATS, LADEN WITH KCBS PINS,  LIES UPON A FLOOR IN GALWAY BAY, LISDONVARNOE, IRELAND.. OUR TOUR BUS LEADER , MUCH ENCHANTED WITH MY AMERICAN COWBOY HAT ASKED TO WEAR IT TO SILKY SULLIVANS SALOON IN THAT FAR OFF ENCHANTED LAND.. SEEMS THE LOCALS WERENT AS ENCHANTED AS SHANE  (THE TOUR BUS DRIVER) AND PROCEEDED TO STOMP THE HAT AND SHANE INTO SUBMISSION BEFORE VACATING THE PLACE MERE STEPS AHEAD OF THE LOCAL CONSTABULARY...   OLE BLUE EYES GIFTED ME WITH A SILVER BELLY STETSON ON OUR 25TH ANNIVERSRY TO WHICH SHE HAD ADDED A STERLING SILVER HAT BAND.. ONE OF MY FOVORITES YET TODAY .. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO DECORATE A BARBECUE FANATIC... MUCH LIKE A RODEO COWBOYS BELT BUCKLE IT SEEMS A HAT HAS TO DO THE JOB FOR BARBECUE COMPETITORS.. LAST IS THIS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE IS FROM  SHORTYS COWBOY HATTERY. OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA.. SHORTY WILL CUSTOM FIT AND BLOCK A CARFULLY CHOSEN CHAPEAU JUST FOR YOU.. THE CHOICE IS LARGE AND ALL ARE BEAUTIFUL   I LOVE MY HAND BEADED RIM AND MATCHING BAND ON A WONDERFUL 10X SILVERBELLY ..
