Hope that I can respond to you David? Anyway, thanks for checking out our videos and commenting! Seems like we agree that women did indeed wear hats. Haven't come across anything though indicating that women were restricted to wearing hats ONLY when riding, so my best guess is that they wore them whenever they wanted to. Also, we seem to agree that women wore jackets, but how often may be a matter of conjecture (maybe whenever they got cold?). In my ignorance I wouldn't be able to see a bodice-like thing with long sleeves as being anything different than a jacket, or substantially different from the short, tight-fitting jackets that the men seam to have been wearing at the time. In our case, Olga absconded with my green jacket because her rebozos weren't enough to keep her happily warm. I suspect that the early Californio ladies weren't above engaging in such behavior as well.

Central Mexico does not use riatas, it is mostly Jalisco only nowadays with a few exceptions in Colima that use riatas but they call them soguillas de cuero crudo. (Rawhide soguillas). Central Mexico area uses ixtle for their sogas/reatas To be more specific it is mostly the coast and West Sierra of Jalisco the place where they use rawhide riatas. The area from Autlán to the coast including el Tuito, Mascota, Talpa de Allende, Tomatlán, la hurta, among others. There is a video by David Alonso who talks about it.

When you mentioned the rebozo it reminded me about a song called : rebozo de Santa María. There is a place in Mexico famously know for making the finest rebozos, where people would and still go buy rebozos so fine that it would go through a ring 💍 Las Adelitas during the Mexican revolución about 100 years ago, wore rebozos and there are plenty of pictures. Today, las escaramuzas charras still wear their attire including rebozos with laborious and gorgeous knots.

@@california_traditionssorry for the late answer, i was basing my opinion on what i’ve read in websites, blogs, books, museums and facebook groups in my case i’d represent a californio look with a simple gown (the design would depend on the decade i choose to represent), a neckerchief or a mantón de manila pinned around the shoulders, and a camorra (black silk headscarf) or a tápalo wrapped around the head to make the “californio” look more obvious your interpretation is totally valid though! i think it suits Miss Olga a lot if we have in mind that older women tended to be more traditional in the way they dressed in comparison to younger women who were more influenced by the latest fashions

Although these noise makers could have been used to wake people up. I have a contribution to your channel. I served as an altar server on a small town in the middle of the Sierra Madre in Jalisco Mexico and the Basilica that I served on had one wooden box that looks the exact same as the one you are showing here. This wooden box I’m talking about was only used during the holly week in the Catholic faith. It is during holly Friday and I cannot remember if other day besides holly Friday. Anyway the point is that the wooden box is used during the religious services and or mass because the bells were muted during those days and no music was played. About the matraca there is a big one in the catedral de Morelia Michoacan. That matraca is so big that is on the tower of the catedral and it is used on the holly week as I mentioned above. There is a video here on KZbin about this matraca and the people who move it to make noise are called matraqueros.
