As you may know it's not hard for me to get enthusiastic about Sugarloaf hat culture.
Daily Whip Out:
"Barefoot Sonoran Paisano con Sugarloaf"
Yes, I love those old sugarloafs and bemoan the lack of them in Western films In my opinion, every single film about the Old West should at least have a version of this hat style on a variety of characters.
Under The Hondo Brim
Even films made in Mexico seem to have a hard time replicating the very hats they made so famous.
Low Crowns All Around
But, at least the latest bio-pic on Doroteo Arango went to the trouble to include a big, ol' sugarloaf, or two.
Pancho meets Emilio Zapata in the film.
And, that would be this film.
At least it is a step in the right direction.
Viva Mexico Cabrone, Indeed!
One of these days I am going to pull the trigger on this little book project and then the big, tall sugarloafs will get their due.
