Shooting Bull Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 Since there was a lot of grumbling going on at EOT about this costume, let's test your knowledge of the costume rules. Is this legal? Please give the reasoning for your opinion. (The competitor being ugly as sin isn't a reason for legal or illegal.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stump Water Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 When I saw the pic in Yul's thread I immediately wondered how much guff you were going to get for that. We have one on this end of the country that wears bibbed overhauls only, legs rolled up and barefoot. AFAIK nobody's ever grumbled about his git-up.

John Kloehr Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 Short sleeve shirts prohibited, but no requirement for a shirt at all. And that is a vest because it has no sleeves, even if it was made from a shirt. Even if it was made from a short-sleeve shirt. Frankly, I'm surprised but must side with legal costume. I find only one possible restriction in the rules, all clothing must be "typical of the late 19th century, a B-Western movie, or Western television series." I am not qualified to say this vest does not comply with those restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Badly Posted March 6, 2024 Share Posted March 6, 2024 I think it's great costuming. All I need is an official ruling so I can cut the sleeves off a couple of my shirts for summer shooting.

A sleeveless garment, often having buttons down the front, worn usually over a shirt or blouse and sometimes as part of a three-piece suit. 2. A waist-length, sleeveless garment worn for protection: a warm down vest; a bulletproof vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 6, 2024 Share Posted March 6, 2024 Well, it would be a good bet that some of Gunzilla's outfits at EOT didn't meet the rules, but he got to shoot because, as they say, this is entertainment! I would say the same for Mongo even if he didn't meet the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
