Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I could be wrong but don't think blue denims were all that popular with cowboys until maybe the 1920's. Miners, teamsters, woodchoppers, and such yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Doggle Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Somebody needs to tell that boy how to pronounce "Mojave". Hint: It ain't Mohoovee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Sam is correct. Wool pants were the choice of cattlemen until later and miners, and others wore cotton twill. A man wore a vest or coat also. So many urban legends in our society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Wool wears better than cotton so it was the popular choice for cattlemen until the 20th century. Farmers, miners and such wore blue jeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 A lot of them wore bib overalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Note that the old pair found in the mine have a high waist, no belt loops, buttons for suspenders, and an adjustment in the back. They looked to be in amazing condition. Wonder what, if anything, was in the pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuse Rivers Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Wow. Neat By the way, "Denim" and "Jean" were different fabrics. Denim was heavier, Jean was finer... "Due to its superior strength and washability, denim serviced the laboring set—pants made of denim were called waist overalls, or just overalls. Jean being finer, but still durable, was used to make topcoats, jackets and vests—in addition to tailored trousers for workers not engaged in manual labor." http://myhistoryfix.com/fashion/blue-jeans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Regardless, I'd bet, if I could afford them, there wouldn't be any large enough to fit most of us! Folks were smaller back then, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 A lot of them wore bib overalls. The bib overall that you see today were unheard of until well after 1900. I did a lot a research into this back when I was first thinking about getting into CAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 That boy needs acting school or public speaking school, or SOMETHING. Just throwing out random pauses in his sentences. Hard as all get out to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldom Seen #16162 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 First of all they were not called COWBOYS. COWBOY was considered to be a insult. A working hand considered himself to be a Livestock Man or Cattleman. Next a working Livestock Man did not wear Granger pants. Just two examples of how little CAS actually represents the pre-1900 Old West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Here's a link about jeans, trousers, overalls, what have you. https://www.motherearthnews.com/nature-and-environment/history-of-blue-jeans-zmaz90jazshe This link has a lot of info. Check out the tabs at the top of the main page: http://www.historyofjeans.com/ Levi Strauss got the patent for the riveted seems in 1873. He had been making "trousers" from 1860 on.

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Outside of his mispronouncing "Mojave" I wasn't impressed with him. He should have done a little more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
