Hank Thompson's Hat Defies Gravity



Hank Thompson always looked swell in Nudie, but what really amazed me was the way he could balance his hat way on the back of his head. Makes you want to hoist a Falstaff and salute his ingenious way of wearing a cowboy hat, and still showing off his coif!

In later years that hat finally left his head, and he compensated with every more elaborate Nudie Suits. Drink in the deep, dark lyrics to this Hank Thompson penned classic, and enjoy how the rhinestones on his Nudie Suit catch the light, even in black and white they put on quite a show.

  1. Nudie was ahead of his time. If only this had been filmed in color. Nudie and technicolor - like pb&j
