Dressing the Part: The Townsman

[@robertreisner6119]

Santee, I have 4 1880's suits, several matches the famous picture of Luke Short, Bat Masterson, Judge Parker, and Butch Cassidy as shown in the 1900 Dallas Photo of the Wild Bunch. My better half made them for me. I also have many 19th century accessories as watches, diamond stick pins, and rings. These are just a small amount of my various clothing outfits of the old west. Take care and our best wishes to all of the Arizona Ghoust Riders and God Bless America.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thank you!

Could you do an episode on Dressing the Part: The Blacksmith?

[@williamchristopher1560]

They wore 2 types of vests, one with a collar and one without. The one with a collar was deemed sufficient to wear without a coat in public. The one without a collar was assumed to be worn underneath a coat.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

it’s funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same: the vest/collared shirt/trousers combo is still a look for professionals and folks with money, just the watch style and hat wearing changed and the joke is “you look like a million bucks” is literal with that look and intent 🤣

This is a good video. This is when Sears & Roebucks made it big, selling out of their catalogues.

[@nieldooley2906]

Enjoyable videos. In England we still call a waist-coat by that name; a vest is what we wear under our shirts. It is traditional not to fasten the bottom button of a waist-coat, is this something that may have been also done in the old west with formal attire?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I didn't know you still called it that. Very cool! Interestingly, costumers have always unbuttoned my bottom vest button on western film sets, but I have yet to see a photo of that practice as it relates to the frontier. Probably should look more....bet I'd find one. Thank you for the info.

[@Soniclion1985]

@@ArizonaGhostriders I work in the funeral industry and I've yet to meet anyone who fastenes their bottom button of their waistcoat. So it's still in go today. I believe it's to stop your waistcoat wrapping at the bottom.

[@jordanhicks5131]

@@Soniclion1985 its for when you sit down i think. But i've always buttoned my bottom button and just unbuttoned it before i sit down

[@nieldooley2906]

The tradition of not fastening the waist-coat at the bottom originated because Edward llV was not able to fasten his bottom button, because he was slightly overweight. On noticing this and to prevent Edward experiencing any embarrasment, the gentlemen in his company proceeded to unbutton their bottom buttons and thats how the practise spread.

Wait so how exactly do the detachable collars work? Are they sewed to the shirt or is it like a neck band you place around the collar and fix to it with a strap or button or something?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

There's a single button on the back of the band collar of the shirt that attaches to a buttonhole on the detachable collar. Then, the collar buttons together on the front (like a normal shirt collar does).

Walt Disney once said, "When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable."
