You look mighty sharp sir, if I were to join you I'd have nothing to wear but my brain tanned leggings and breech cloth, while packing my squirrel rifle.   :toast  :*:

I wince at seeing my images, but 80 years changes everything of everyone and in my case not for the better ... but thanx!

Yes, that's my real hair that I let grow for a bit over a year.  Not that I saved on getting hair cuts as my was/is a hairdresser.  Last month I commissioned a Colonial Williamsburg wigmaker for a proper 18th century hairpiece with long trailing queue so that I can finally get a dang hair cut!

Thank ye, Rondo.  You'd be right at home wearing what ya got, totally 18th century and what was used by many a rebel militia for the duration of the war.

Rob, You post a mighty striking picture.  Well done.
Personally, Indians would not be much interested in my scalp, not a heck of a lot to get a hold of.  Even the fringe is getting kinda thin.  As I understand it, God only made a few perfect heads, the rest He covered with hair.  That's my story and I am sticking with it.
And I surely know what you mean about being an octogenarian.  And it ain't for sissies.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest Up to God.

Well done.  You look like the real deal and very authentic.  I am jealous of the hair.   :yessir: :hairy :bigsmile:
