The then 39-year-old, 150-pound Long was described as a "silent man, unassuming and shy, to the point of bashfulness [with a] face sunburned to the color of saddle leather [with cowpuncher's] wrinkles radiating from pale blue eyes." He wore "a ten-gallon Stetson hat, a bandanna around his neck, a bag of Bull Durham [[tobacco]] with its yellow string dangling from his pocket, and blue denim, the fabric of the profession".<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=GYP1usNNspsC&pg=PA117&lpg=PA117&dq=Clarence+Hailey+Long&source=web&ots=2ZYAcx0qpC&sig=keDu4F4iJvpR6L_aBewey66ITXc&hl=en|title=Shooting from the Hip: Photography, Masculinity, and Postwar America|publisher=Google Books|author=Patricia Vettel-Becke|isbn=0-8166-4302-4|page=117|accessdate=May 22, 2020}}</ref>
