Cowboy Hats: A Little History

Published by Sigrid under cowboy hats

No cowboy will be left without a cowboy hat. Whether you are talking about cowboys in the old days who rode their horses a big part of the day to modern cowboys who now drive anything from bikes to trucks to fancy cars, no one will leave their houses without a cowboy hat.

The high-crowned and wide-brimmed head gear is one of the most distinctive accessories of the North American cowboy. Modern cowboy hats are usually made out of fur-based felt or straw. It is not very often that they are made out of leather but modern designs now use leather in making cowboy hats.

Cowboy hats are manufactured in different colors but most of the time, the colors that are sold in western wear stores are brown, black or beige. These hats can be produced in virtually any color though so you can basically pick any color you want. If you want a pink cowboy hat for example, you can always get one online.




Cowboy Hats: Their History

Cowboy hats go as far back as the 13th century. Mongolian horsemen wore broad-brimmed hats during this century and was later on adapted by other people from allover the globe. No one knows however how they became popular.

The history that we know  however starts with John Batterson Stetson. According to historical accounts, Stetson made a high-crowned, wide-brimmed hat from horse hide to fulfill a bet. These hats became very popular because they protected horse riders from the sun and the crown was used for fetching water. The hat was also used to fan the fire when out in the woods or anywhere where cowboys had to be outside. This made Stetson hats quite useful.

Stetson then started selling his hats under the name “Boss of the Plains”. They were sold for $5 each.

Cowboy Boots Still In For 2011

Published by Sigrid under Cowboy Boots, Cowgirl Fashion

Are cowboy boots still fashionable for 2011? No need to shout “Yes” to your computer screen, we all know that cowboy boots will never be outdated but what does the world of Fashion say?

The world of fashion says that cowboy boots are still deemed fashionable for this year so fashionistas out there should not lock away their cowboy boots in the storage.

If you are clueless as to how to wear cowboy boots, here are 3 tricks on how to pull them off.

  1. Wear Them Under Your Jeans. This is one of the most effective ways of pulling off cowboy boots giving those who are hesitant in wearing them a chance to actually wear cowboy boots.
  2. Flaunt Those Boots. We say a big yeeehhaaa to this one because cowboy boots should be worn to be seen or noticed. Apart from their durability, cowboy boots are a work of art so flaunt them. You can wear them over your skinny jeans or get a nice skirt to go with it. Tights and leggings are also a good way to show off those boots.
  3. Wear them with a dress. Dresses are cute with cowboy boots because they make dresses look very casual and comfortable. You would have to pay attention to the accessories you will be using though.

What You Should Avoid

Now, now, I know you think wearing them with your Daisy Dukes is a good way to wear them but if you do, please do not wear a plaid shirt with it especially if you are not in a city or a town that does not see such outfits on a regular basis. You would not want to look like you are wearing a costume or anything but then again, if you are comfortable in wearing the whole fringed vest regalia, no one should stop you to. Do keep our advice in mind though.

Motorcycle Boots For Summer Riding Season

Published by Kyle under Motorcycle Boots

Men's Motorcycle boots

When the sun comes out it is the perfect time fire up the motorcycle out and start cruising. There is nothing that compares to the open road on a beautiful, sunny day. But before you ride, you need the right gear. You wouldn’t go out riding without your helmet or jacket so why would you ride without your motorcycle boots?

There are numerous benefits to wearing motorcycle boots, but one of the most important is that you get protection from the sturdy construction of the boot. Many people think that motorcycle boots are just for the image, but they do serve a purpose. For the same reasons you may wear gloves or a jacket, if you ever dump your bike you will want as much protection as you can get.

When you are out riding, you need footwear that will be able to withstand possible road debris and give you the support you need when you are riding. Sneakers and other shoes are not sturdy enough to be considered safe when riding.

A good pair of boots is just like anything else when it comes to motorcycle gear, so you should wear what you want. But if you plan on riding often, investing in a good pair of motorcycle boots is always your best option. This is especially true for beginners and safety should always be a priority when you are on your motorcycle.
