HOW THE WEST WAS WORN by Chris Enss
Bustles and Buckskins on the Wild Frontier
HOW THE WEST WAS WORN examines the sometimes bizarre, often beautiful and highly inventive clothing of the Old West. You’ll learn how a cowboy’s home state determined the way he wore his pants and hat as well as how to distinguish one Indian tribe from another by their moccasins. Meet John B Stetson, Adah Menken, Amelia Jenks Bloomer and others who developed and promoted clothing in this era. 125 pages chuck full of photographs and illustrations. 7 1/2 x 9 softcover.
