In an age where cowboys, Indians, outlaws, and lawmen roamed the rolling plains of the Western United States, there was a distinct fashion and style best suited to a lifestyle of horses, dust, and hard work. While the Native American Indians had their own style of riding horses, most of the settlers adorned spurs, chaps, cowboy hats, and duster coats. These items were suited for the environmental conditions as well as spending hours each day on horseback. As time passed, these standards of Western wear were remade and introduced to the mainstream public, some of which have become popular apparel even in modern times, like the cowboy hat.
Though the old days of the West will never return, you can still celebrate the ruggedness and tradition of exploration that ushered the Old West into the history books with Western apparel.
