I just read an article in one of the western magazines about the "art of saddle-making" and certainly how saddlery has changed over the decades.

I don't blame them. :-)<br /><br />Great post, Cheri. People love to know the how and why behind the things they wore. It all had a purpose!E.

I agree that some of the spurs look too mean. But don't you remember hearing those cowboy spurs clinking across the wooden floors in those TV westerns?!

We've talked about that so often--and the same with the Bonanza characters--Ben with his leather vest, Hoss with his hat and vest, Adam with the all black outfits he wore, and of course, Little Joe and that green coat of his. LOL This was sure interesting, and I bet those leather cuff guards were sooo hot! But necessary!

Boy Scouts and Girl Scout employ the use of the bandana in the their uniforms and are taught how to use them for practical things just like the cowboys.<br />Some spurs look like they would hurt the horse if used with too much force. <br />A nicely researched article, Cheri.
