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, [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Fashions of the Old West", url: "http://www.saddlesandharness.com/carriages/75-fashions-of-the-old-west/" });</script>]]></description>
