Chili Roasting Time with Vintage Pioneer HBT Coveralls!

This is one of my favorite times of the year, fresh green chilies from Hatch, New Mexico! August and September bring harvest time for these wonderful green delights and the smell of roasting chilies is Heaven on earth for a born and bred Southwest fella like me.
I thought it appropriate to show these cool vintage 1940's or 50's Pioneer herring bone twill coveralls with some chilies. The chain stitching on the back is great, but the spelling of chili (chile?) is questionable-was it a mistake or was that how they spelled it back then?
If you can find them, try some fresh roasted Hatch chilies and savor the taste of the great southwest!
