Buckshot Bear Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 There's a lot of western clothing available in Oz but its all modern wrangler, ringer, rodeo and jackeroo wear mostly. I will have to import into Oz from the States, I've found these sites so far - https://www.wildcowboy.com/main.sc https://www.wwmerc.com/cgi-bin/Category.cgi?category=home&type=store https://www.historicalemporium.com/mens-old-west-clothing.php Anyone have any other places I should look to? I have bought a pair or Ariat boots, something I've never owned before. Another question: Do you fella's go as far as wearing spurs or are they a nuisance/annoyance?

DeaconKC Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Spurs a nuisance? YES!!!!! Nope, I don't wear em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Spurs take some getting used to when maneuvering during a stage. I like hearing the jingle and the look, but I could see how the smaller cavalry spurs would be less cumbersome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasparilla Groz Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 James County Mercantile is a local shop that does a lot of period clothing. James Country Mercantile Sutler, Liberty, Missouri www.jamescountry.com I have a nice set of spurs. Only wear them when shooting Classic Cowboy. not often... concerned about tripping on my own big feet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Skinner Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I wear them often and have not had any problems. However I ain’t prone to tangle footitis nor am I pigeon toed , knock kneed or do I duck waddle when I walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 If you dress as a bartender, shop keeper, banker, blacksmith or other "townie", spurs would be superfluous. Walking in spurs is an acquired skilled... the earlier you start the more natural it seems... driving can be a bit trickier, and they play havoc with the carpeting when you do! https://www.cattlekate.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to be careful and lucky not to get tangled up with your spurs! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I love spurs, big obnoxious rowels with noisy jingle bobs. Been wearing 'em since my first year shooting. Never had a problem with spurs, not tripping, not stairs. I own 5 sets now and won't/can't shoot without 'em just cause I don't feel full accutramented without spurs. I shoot Classic Cowboy and spurs for me are a natural part of that costume. You don't need to wear spurs in any category, even CC (as long as you meet the other costume item requirements) but if you get used to them, you'll probably love them.

Ezra Hawthorne Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Might not be cowboy exactly, but there's a lot that is period correct (also a great Youtube channel): https://www.townsends.us/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WymoreWrangler SASS 46187L Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I've always wore spurs, been in the game for almost twenty years. And Work N Ranch is awesome to deal with, highly recommended... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
