No. What I'm trying to do is discuss/educate anyone who is interested on what people actually wore during the "cowboy era" in this instance.
Take the modern cowboy boot. The originals were worn by Mexican Vaqueros but rarely by American cowboys who generally wore a Wellington style, square toed boot, if they could afford it. The modern reincarnation of what was the Vaquero boot didn't show up until the 20th century, we call it the cowboy boot.
did you look at my link?
Just now, missed it the first time. I collect hats, not baseball caps, real hats, unique hats, period (historical) hats. There are a few haberdashers I used to use exclusively, when I had the money, they're the best, making their hats using the original process.
That's freaking awesome. I was crashing hard last night ( bad cold and the NQ combined with tequila) I must have missed that this was what you do.
Too cool. Amazing. Oh I love it.
