Meet Cowboy Fashion Designer Nudie Cohn

[@flintlong2937]

I met Nudie in 1974 when I had two shirts specially designed by him. I still got them and I still wear them on stage. They are like antiques! They've been "let out" once or twice! HaHa! One of them has Roy Rogers trim! I'll have to put them up on KZbin one of these days. I loved Nudie's work! We all did. He was the best. He was the last word in costuming! He was and is a class act! Thanks for reading, Flint Long

[@ShotsMerkzAll]

let's see

[@KodiCooley]

I'm so surprised Porter Wagoner wasn't mentioned. He had the most famous Nudie suits, and rocked them better than anyone else

[@ciaphascyne8866]

"you can be anybody" that right there is the god damn american dream.

[@poopypanysou812]

I met Nudie many times. We'd get out of school and see his cadillac parked in front of a bar near our junior high school in Fresno, CA. It was the white one with the horns and calfskin seat and the coins embedded in the landau cover. It was the first car I ever saw with an alarm. As soon as we touched the car, Nudie would come out of the bar with a drink in his hand. He was really a nice guy and told us all about making Elvis's clothes. When I finally got my driver's license, we would drag race.

[@gracesix]

Watched this 8 yrs ago; had to come back. I want a nudie suit!

[@hunhs]

This Cowboy story needed more work, I think, felt that they put this thing together in one day.

[@MrPopeye776]

Nudie is a legend. Love his suits. Love to have one

[@margaretross9150]

Nudie Cohn's clothes were works of art, and he seemed to be a really nice guy. Gram Parsons used to take his guitar to the shop and play for them.

[@spacealienjesus709]

I love that cowboy look It's amazing and there has been nothing like it since.

[@ChrisHansenNBC2]

Gram Parsons!!!

[@1flamingomoon]

Always drooled over Nudie's shirts. Nothing like a rhinestone cowgirl!!

[@doakmasarik9862]

I knew Nudie as a kid . He was in the town I lived in. I saw this car hundreds of times.

[@mytoiletisrunning]

I think the fact Vice focuses on such obscure topics like 70's rhinestone cowboy fashion is what makes these documentaries so good. I think it's what we've all come to expect from Vice. Vice has a knack to dissect even topics that aren't particularly an interest of mine and make it worth discussing. I think it's funny a Russian immigrant would appreciate stereo-typical cowboy culture enough to bedazzle it. It's fascinating to look closely at what most might not appreciate initially. >w>

[@PatrikGelis]

David Allan Coe is the real rhinestone cowboy. He never cared what Glen Campbell had to say!

[@gojes22]

David Allen Coe’s crew stole our microphones after a show. He wasn’t a nice guy. Actually. He was an ashore and not near the talent of Glen. Although, in his long hair days, he looked great pounding on the drum.

[@PatrikGelis]

I was just reciting some lines of one of DAC's songs. They just came to my mind watching this video. Well, I know that DAC is not the definition of a saint. And stories of stolen mics don't surprise me. But I disagree with the statement that DAC was not near Glen's talent. Glen is undoubtedly one of the best guitarists in the world and I love to listen to him playing. But when it comes to conveying melacholy, situative feeling and pulling the listener into a song and also writing tremendous pieces, DAC is way up on the list. He also has stupid and bad songs. But listen to one of his earliest records "The mysterious rhinestone cowboy" and all four parts of "For lovers only" and you will know what I mean. I quit listening to country music, though. I came to understand that all time and talent ought to be used to give glory unto our gracious God and Redeemer. I dearly recommend you to seek Him earnestly. May He bless you too

[@mikego18753]

Fantastic.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Great Video my Dad was a huge Country and Western music fan and i remember seeing so many great performers in the 70s wearing the clothing i remember the cars being something my Dad thought were fascinating

[@LARRYCORY1]

If I could afford one I would certainly buy one or two!!!!

[@VNMFTW]

She called it "Rolling Stones" magazine 3 times.

[@slimeronio]

graham parsons jacket was the best

[@realityransom]

This was not bad: short, interesting and to the point.

[@AintItGreat]

amazing how someone so pivotal to Americana was Russian

[@daniefoflyge64]

How do you fit someone for a custom G-string? And how do I get that job?

[@GP1706]

Awesome video as always team vice

[@brianmgrim]

Missed opportunity to play ‘like a rhinestone cowboy’ for this doc.

[@uwusmolbean]

that's Gram Parsons show suit at the beginning !

[@myfriendisaac]

5:13 He was dressing everybody ✨

[@holdmybeer]

That last suit was awesome.

[@burninsherman1037]

Now post Malone is wearing those badass suits to damn near every awards show he goes to.

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

What a doll. So cool and inspiring!

[@flintlong2937]

I just remembered...I"m wearing my two Nudie shirts in a KZbin video called, "Flint Long Boogie Woogie!" You guys absolutely have to check that out and check out these two cool shirts, one green with fringe and the other red, white and blue roses! Long Live Nudie's Legacy!

[@radicalaccounting]

Fasinating, thanks for covering something I would have never heard about otherwise.

[@216trixie]

She's looking right at the cover and said he made the "cover of Rolling Stone[s]". Over and over.

[@kateo4052]

Bring back the rhinestone cowboy look pls

[@robkamanda]

This S#!T was Dope!!! Good Lookin Vice... Good Lookin Yall!

[@AmB39]

I'd think it would be funny to see people who attack the reporters to try to get in front of the camera themselves. I bet they would be somewhat humbled

[@nickbagelboy]

He might've been the original "Pimp My Ride".

[@elizabethclaiborne6461]

Porter Waggoner? I’m researching his suits to make one. Wear it around.

[@turkey0165]

I would like to see women’s clothing with a little more class and Nudie Inspired flair! Guy was a clothing genius!

[@AnnieCappuccino]

Nudie made the gorgeous suit you see Lolly Vegas wearing in the Midnight Special video of Come and Get Your Love, as well as the more subtly elegant grey suit Lolly wears in the Come and Get Your Love VH1 video, also here on KZbin, and the great red suit Lolly wears in the One More Time video you can see here. Search Redbone and you'll see them. There's something really special about the way Lolly wears these suits.

[@BigBlack81]

Thank you sir. You summed up that comment rather nicely.

[@miketv2331]

2:30 the rhinestones may have been shipped in from NY, but everybody knows they're mined outside of Nashville

[@Jesus.X]

That car is awesome

[@FashionJunkie4]

That was like the versace of the 50's and 60's

[@PhntmStudios]

does this have anything to do with nudie jeans?

[@nanky432]

Lived life LIKE A BOSS!!!

[@jeebersjumpincryst]

where are rhine stones mined from?

[@full6330name]

you're comment deserves 1000 thumbs up.

[@FuZeImproVizZe]

This guy was fucking gnarly

[@justinchambars844]

i want a nudie suit bad i want something that looks like a porter wagoner suit

[@jewelbrie1555]

I want one!!!!!!!

[@DeadSon85]

Forgot to mention anything about the denim!!!

[@xZellOne]

Bravo.

[@smole321]

where are the good vice documentaries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wasonnnn]

Expert reporter #1

[@vollsticks]

I thought they were supposed to be poppies on the Gram Parsons suit?!? Bit disappointed they didn't mention Captain Beefheart's suit that he's wearing on The Spotlight Kid cover....

[@danxl5]

Nope. It's technically a fashion magazine.

[@lousyjesus]

Where is Thomas?

[@TechRatReviews]

That guy is a genius lol

[@thormx47]

i dont blame him for making g strings, and liking it

[@thedevo01]

I... I thought a 'nudie suit' was something you wore without anything under it..

[@iGavid_Doggins]

scroll all the way down in their channel

[@ceil5001]

The magazine is called Rolling Stone, not Rolling Stones. How could she keep making the same mistake over and over again when the cover is right in front of her face!!??

[@lynstaudinger]

Who cares, people get a life!

[@jeebersjumpincryst]

nudie's grandaughter looks like she eats well

[@WillJupiter]

Not that I have anything against the fact, but why do Jingle Punks make all the music for pretty much all the vice videos?

[@purpoats]

the brady bunch lul bad memories of rhinestones >___>

[@modestgrower]

Rhinestone Cowboy OG

[@datmeme6590]

The original buchone 🤠

[@hilo221]

Pot and Jesus, lovely.

[@CJAEY]

Do one with Hiroki Nakamura(Visvim).

[@216trixie]

"embordered seats"..lol

[@ElKuku9999]

That dude made bank

[@violeman]

I guess it all depends on who is watching !!! But id like to see more about these G-Strings !!! DEv

[@imVexedBruh]

what are you talking about, its a great topic shes just way too bashful to be an interviewer.

[@juanmorell4884]

Ukrain might have been part of Russia when Nudie emigrated to the US. You know how eastern Europe has changed so much during all of the XXth century.

[@xbradx11]

I was hoping it was Nudie jeans :(

[@BelleReviews]

Finally a female reporter.

[@mrblisterfist]

Was part a of the Soviet Union until its demise and gained independence in 1991. Perhaps she found it easier to say "Russia" instead of Soviet Union? People really like to interchange the two when speaking of the past. ~good day

[@216trixie]

His first name was Nudie. Why did the granddaughter take his first name as her last name?

[@FraterOculus]

beautiful comment

[@UnderwaterFuzzPedal]

damn that car is hoss

[@dancergrl47]

omg i want the weed one

[@shannondawn44]

That is a replica of the famous Gram Parsons Nudie suit , which is in The Country Music Hall of Fame , although it's the wrong color

[@romey138]

One day I will own that car.

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

I know where the missing shoes are to Elvis Presleys gold lame' Nudie suit is.

[@ml.9746]

This young lady had never even heard a Gram Parsons song before.

[@micheleangelo9273]

The Gram Parsons Nudie is not even close to his Jacket. Sad that I could make a exact copy but she can't? I don't understand. If she put the original into production she would really be honoring her Grandfather.

[@diegojames8678]

you have a copy? make video of it

[@shannondawn44]

Bradley Vanhoy I agree

[@Kronicilln3ss]

Wow hunter S. Thompson must have sort of been a cow boy but multifarious he was for sure but this thumbnail reminded me of him till I read the title then I got sad cuz I thought vice had finally done some "Gonzo journalism!" or a tribute or story on one of the worlds most fascinating characters please vice either do a series that emulates his style or do stories on him a legend a prodigy ur channel has him to thank or it probly wouldn't see the success it has since u guys are borderline there s

[@d_oneee]

that girl would be ten times prettier if she did something with her hair jeez

[@Lo-Fi-Go]

I want the weed jacket!

[@w120426]

haha im waiting for that to

[@SouthwayMexicanOfficial]

Tight.....

[@CrackinJacks138]

When Nudie moved to America, Kiev was part of the Soviet Union so it was technically in Russia.

[@justinphilm]

hey man don't be so harsh, she just needs to find a new calling

[@DennisChaves]

WAT. So are you saying Nudie wasn't an artist? Even though he pioneered a new style of clothing?

[@norxcontacts]

Same thing to me.

[@kevin4227]

Kiev was part of Russsia formerly known as USSR before '91.

[@Jaejgaren]

It was back then only difference is that it was called Soviet union and not russia.

[@DennisChaves]

Well when she was a kid in was part of the USSR. Which is sorta like being in Russia. So maybe that's why she said it was in Russia.

[@sajseven]

That has not always been the case.

[@a89proof]

2:52 - Scrach your greasy scalp with both hands, then proceed to rub your fingers all over someone else's clothing. Classy.

[@Techn9cian123]

George Jones had the silver dollar car.
