Wardrobe:

- Clothing Suggestions:
Jeans
Work boots
Flannel shirt
Denim shirt
Dickie’s type jacket with t-shirt underneath
Down filled vest
John Deer hats (not brand new, preferably beat up)

- As far as the script goes, the dialect should be very plain – noaccent, but animated actions. These guys are upset about these politics.
How hard can it be to find angry – excuse me – hicky blue collar types who are angry in West Virginia? Joe Manchin’s losing! I assume some of the people making him lose are upset, and have hats.
