I embrace your nerdness. I remember years back when the book Packing Iron about period western gun carrying came out. I spotted it at the local library. When I went to check out, the librarian said, "When we got that in, I was wondering who would read it. I should have known it would be you.". So I understand comepletely.
Loved this episode! I wear modern-day vests all the time. Though intentionally try not to look like a biker. Especially love Winter vests. They keep my torso warm, but still allow free range of movement of both my arms and my shoulders. Plus, yeah; those extra pockets are great.
The pockets, what sold me about 40 yrs ago, they come in hand. I’m a pocket watch kind of guy (have about dozen or so) and they look good hanging on my vests (also over a dozen) have a problem, collecting things I like, ie: vests, watches, hats, boots etc, one these days “The Old Lady’s gone shoot me. Oh yea got a bunch of those too (lever action and single action) think I might have a problem 🤪. Nice vid, 👍🏼❤️🤠
The staple of my daily outfit...love my vests! Though I found out this past year that there are some that work better in the hotter weather...and some better for winter.
They also wore the single vest alone because of the heat. They were just as stressed by the heat as we are today & found ways to combat the heat. Even women around the house wore simple dress smocks & used cottons of light color during the summer's when going out.
What's really cool about that vest is not only is it a copy of the Yuma vest, big Yuma was also filmed there at Old Tucson. So that's like a double whopper!!!
Great video as always. I have had several vests over the years. Had a nice Confederate military vest that I really liked. I now have a gray civilian version to wear with my Confederate uniform. I also have a nice herringbone twill vest from Wahmaker. A friend gave me a copy of John Wayne's vest for my fiftieth birthday a year ago. I love a good vest. Great for everyday wear.
I’ve seen pictures of Boers during the First Boer War wearing what were essentially tactical vests, with pockets or tabs to hold stripper clips of ammo
Hello Santee! Professional gamblers Brett and Bart Maverick would never be caught without wearing their fancy vests! Well, most of the time, anyway! Another classic television duo who always wore their fancy vests well were government agents Jim West and Artemis Gordon of "The Wild, Wild, West". It seems these four had this in common along with getting involved in strange adventures featuring scheming women and wily villains! Lol! Thanks for another great video. Take care & God bless!
Dang it, Dan. He's at it again. I have one vest. Made of Canvas. I need to get another one and a overcoat. Keep the vest and canvas duster while outside, but in town, wear a fancy vest and overcoat.
It was a year back I think that came across your video on Dressing the part: Cowboy and ever since I've been keeping my eyes out for a good everyday waistcoat. A great video to get more insight into these lovely pieces of clothing, thanks! also you're looking mighty smart in that Crowe waistcoat!
Thanx Santee. In addition to being a good video, this video led me to watch S.C.A.R. Watching it for the third time I saw a commercial afterward for a belt I think I want to buy.
Santee, you might have to do a follow-up on this one! Something thats always bothered me about vests is that little cut out at the bottom. No "vest" I've ever seen in history ever had that. Yet, almost every place sells them like that. Also the back. "Vests" are usually made of a silky material, while the front is made of something tougher, like canvas, etc. I haven't seen a single picture of any vest like that in history. Maybe that's the distinction between "waist coat" and "vest?" Personally I've always wanted a John Wayne Rio Bravo vest, but it's not exactly historically accurate, but it's still pretty cool. Maybe if i ever find one...no one will notice?!
Earlier in the period (1840s) they began putting that little cut in. You can see it on some illustrations. the ones today are a bit extreme, but those notches did exist, more for dressier vests.
Fun fact: The French word Vêtement means clothing or garment & gets anglicised to vestment. Thus, it's possible that it got truncated in American English to Vest.
Vests are great for keeping your "core" warm on those frigid days out on the range. My favorite is the one that Clint Eastwood wore in Two Mules For Sister Sarah.
Mighty great lookin' 3:10 to Yuma vest. Perfect match. My collection of vests consists of, two leather, two herringbone twill, and three canvas. I need to distress at least one of these, but still trying to decide which one.
Another great episode Santee! And if you think my vest collection is elaborate, wait’ll you see all my hats. - Jed (who also has no shortage of Coffee Mugs) 🤠
Another great educational video from the juggernauts of western living history. Many thanks!! The part where the guy says "that's just stupid" is so cool. Please make it a regular bit, like the mail bag.
Old west vest, the cargo pants of the old west. We replaced the pocket pistol with a cell phone charger. I found the canvas vest to be a bit surprising but it makes sense. You have a rugged job in an unpredictable climate you probably want something that is going to hold up no matter what. Speaking of vests just about every picture of me dressed up as a youngster was in a vest. It was my moms solution to dressing me up with most bang for the buck. I started refusing the vest around 11-12. Now I am watching this and going that 3:10 Yuma vest is mighty nice...
@@ArizonaGhostriders It was quite the scandal that Kennedy wouldn't wear a hat in public. I remember reading a news article from the day talking about the death of polite society. If a gentleman wasn't wearing a hat how could he properly greet a lady if he didn't have a hat to pinch between his thumb and forefinger and tip it to her.
I understand your nerdiness 😊I got in to living history in the middle seventies. When The Mountain Men with Heston and Keith came out I just had to have a bottle green Capote like Heston wore in the movie It is good to be a nerd.
This is going sound odd, but remember my martial arts background. I was impressed by Dan's neck grab. He got the trachea which causes the victim to lift up and back. An untrained person tries to throttle the whole throat. However, to actually keep you safe, he turned his thumb out instead of in. Whether done intentionally or not - good technique!
I heard about the vest thing years ago. Every man wore them. Shirts didn't have pockets. And like you said, vest holds a lot of stuff and hard to get things out pants pockets while sitting. But no leather vest? I would have figured leather would have lasted longer and easier to take care of.
I worked for American Express for about 5 years..at the time we were required to wear a 3 piece suit...Casual Friday for us meant that we could wear a sport coat.
Great video. First Dan gets your boots and now your vest, he’s gonna be one slicked up dude. Schaefer sells some really nice canvas vests, I’ve got several.
Arizona Ghostriders, The Canvas Vest from the old West must be where Bikers adopted Leather Vests for riding Motorcycles. Yes I know they originally cut denim jackets
I always love Waistcoats, and when I call them that My mom takes a double look at me. With as many time as shes done that I think I'd need to borrow that bottle of old stink eye from you Santee. Don't worry I'll pay to refill it, but I do think she'd appreciate the gesture. Haha great video as always Santee and Compadres. Stay safe and healthy, I love this channel and everyone who watches it and We as Compadres need to stick together. Have a wonderful day pard. Lastly, I'll look forward to seein' ya on down the trail.
Just ordered me a new vest and boots then turned on your channel... Don't reenact or anything just love the style of the time. I got a black classic canvas work vest... Outgrew my last one somehow they keep shrinking 😆 😆 😆
I have never worn a vest, but might have to get one. I seem to remember seeing many of the wearers of vests wore them unbuttoned. Not only the "big" cowboys either. I wonder why?
Jed does have quite the awesome vest collection. And hat collection... and old west firearm collection... and... haha. Your 3:10 to Yuma vest though... I’m green with envy. It’d go nicely with my Hand of God holster rig 🤠. Love the videos!
I was a farrier for years always wore a vest in the fall and winter freed up my arms still wear one most days. Also like gilets which are longer more like a coat without sleeves good for ccw
Seems we have both been in love with a vest from a movie - I'm still searching for that one Poker-dealer's vest from 2006's James Bond: Casino Royale movie.

If i had that vest, i would watch the movie & point at it every time it's shown shouting 'he's got my vest' lol
HAHA!
I love how people in the old west come up with such great fashion.😉
It was a dressy era
Vests were an iconic part of the Victorian wardrobe. They were both elegant and practical. Thanks
Yup! You're welcome!
Thanks so much Cheese !! That 3:10 to Yuma vest is Fantastic !!!! Now all you need is the Cimarron Holy Smoker revolver to complete the outfit :-)
Yeah, right? Thanks.
Getting to be just like Saturday morning cartoons for the new century the way I look forward to you weekly video.👍
Hahaha!
I don't have enough of that material to make one for Dirty Dan! I hope to have a bigger collection than Jedidiah Knight. Thank you Santee!
Thank you, Richard. See ya later!
Beautiful work! Was that a one time thing or is there a chance I could commission something from you?
I wear a canvas vest everyday for working outside, and I don’t know what I would do without it. Great video!
Love that!
And according to Horrible Histories, Charles II was quite the party animal. :)
Oh yeah. Just look at him! :-)
He also liked wearing a fancy wig.
@@eldorados_lost_searcher It was all the rage, it seems.
They also wore the single vest alone because of the heat.
They were just as stressed by the heat as we are today & found ways to combat the heat.
Even women around the house wore simple dress smocks & used cottons of light color during the summer's when going out.
Right. They were jealous of the local Indian women because they were able to wear a lot less.
🎶See our vest, See our vest, made with real gorilla chest🎶
Every time I hear the word vest, I think of that episode of The Simpsons.
LOL!
Santee, I had thought you were completely vested, but I see that you got divested. What a drag.
HAHAH!
Santee was really...invested in this episode's creation.
Oooo, good one!
What's really cool about that vest is not only is it a copy of the Yuma vest, big Yuma was also filmed there at Old Tucson. So that's like a double whopper!!!
@@LarryTalbot_1313 Sorry to disappoint you, but the remake with Crowe was made in New Mexico. The original was filmed in part at Old Tucson.

Arizona red wears the John Wayne vest everyday too. Cool collection, Eric.
Good Howdy mornin' Santee!! Lookin' sharp!
Hey, thanks. I clean up ok.
@@ArizonaGhostriders in your 'Sunday Go To Meetin' Clothes.
Poor Santee, I knew somebody was going to get that nice vest from you. I may have to rethink my wardrobe choices.
Right?? You have vests?
the idea of having a character almost makes this video seem like a dnd guide which is pretty cool
ok!
I’ve seen pictures of Boers during the First Boer War wearing what were essentially tactical vests, with pockets or tabs to hold stripper clips of ammo
Don't know much about the Boer Wars, but I wouldn't doubt that!
Finaly we have this video!
Hope you liked it.
Mighty fine. Thanks Santee
Very welcome
Those vests are really cool. I want one.
Awww, then if we both show up to prom together wearing the same vest it will be awkward, Ralph!

Ain't I though. Thanks for watching. Check out the vests at River Junction trade co...or Wild West Mercantile.
These just keep gettin' better and better!
Glad you are enjoying them.
Great lookin' vest from Richard. I'd put it in the gun safe!
HAHAA....then there would be no room for the guns. My safe is a small one!
@@ArizonaGhostriders You're right. I wouldn't wanna wrinkle it either.

A "3:10 to Yuma" vest could prove to be profitable to a proprietor, if they would simply make their self known as a seller. I'd sure snag one up.
