Showing Buffalo Bill as an example of what men typically wore in the old west is kind of like using Madonna as an example of what women typically wore in the 1990’s.
Let me ask yall something...if you live east of the Mississippi and you go out to Arizona or New Mexico or anywhere in the west to stay for a few weeks or months or even permanently, do you switch to an entirely different type of clothes? Or do you just take the clothes you have and dress for whatever weather you encounter? The "wild west" was happening at the same time as the Victorian era. People out west dressed in basically the same clothes as the folks on the east coast. Unless you actually worked livestock, you wouldnt be dressed like a cowboy. You would be wearing the same shit as everyone back east. And unless you were fairly well off financially, it wouldnt be a suit and a bowler hat or top hat either. It would be the same brown slacks, suspenders and ratty white shirt as everyone else.
The pictures in this film are from studios but to get a better idea of how people were dressing in the west we need to examine photos of street scenes. There are many Photos of frontier towns and although they weren’t dressed like those in the studios they were dressed differently from the city people of the east. You do see a lot of wide brimmed hats and boots. Not like they’ve been portrayed in western movies but people in the western frontier did seem to dress differently from people back in the east in some ways
You mean rhinestones are a myth ? I thought Glen Campbell on horse back singing “ Rhinestone Cowboy “ was wearing what was considered their “Sunday go too meeting clothes “ .
Todays movie producers usually shy away from westerns, With good reason. When they do make a western every one wears a duster jacket. I wonder how much time they really ever invest in getting any of the facts straight ? And the actors just don't look real or authentic enough. Half of them probably refuse to leave their cell phones in their trailer's incase their agent calls.
How do people know dinosaurs will existed we weren't there we just have bones for all we know they're wingless dragons some with feathers some with none
Attire and terrain are plural. They don't have an 's' at the end. Ever. Spend a bit of time to check your grammar. Or pay me to do it for you. Don't embarrass yourselves by showing your ignorance.

Just like today it depends on your status that will never change
Damn, the dude at 1:00 looks like the love child of Ray Liotta and Freddy Kruger! Bruh...
None of them dressed like John Wayne or Gary Cooper.

Lol no because I dress the same in Louisiana as I did in California it's all good
You missed some great photos of Jesse James the West's most famous outlaw.
You give a lot of content in a short period of time, thanks! Keep up the hard work!
The Derby bowler hat was the most popular hat in the west.
I love this kind of American history 👌🏻

What about the women and children? This is incomplete.

Enjoyed this as food for thought. However, am a little skeptical of your facts and conclusions.
So. Do better.

You got most of this stuff wrong
Why were the guns airbrushed out of the photos??
No knife stays sharp unless it's honed regularly.
Bravo

I have never seen so many pissy people about the smallest mistakes
Very bad. No mention of the trousers. No mention of chaps or spurs. And jeans were what laborers wore, cowboy was no damn laborer.
No gq in 1870 Montana boys

That was embarrassing wasn’t it? That’s all I could hear and didn’t pay much attention to the content.
