Protecting Clothes in the Old West

[@kentuckylongrifle8640]

The did the same thing in the "original" old west (Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee). Most hunters wore a "hunting shirt" to protect the shirt and waistcoat they tended to wear. Most hunting shirts were older, worn shirts. They would make a cut up the middle of the front, put it on like a jacket and secure it with a belt or sash. There are some documents stating that leather hunting shirts were worn as well. But again, they were worn typically over a newer shirt and waistcoat. You could also put them on in such a way that when you put the belt (or sash) on, their were folds in the hunting shirt that served as extra pockets. Great episode as always!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thanks for the added info.

I know it was later in the depression days when the flour millers found out that women were making dresses from flour sacks they started to make them in nicer colors, designs and pin stripes… I saw that on a documentary one time 😎✌🏻🍻

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

Many Yavapai had them made out of flour sacks! I’ve seen several! My ex had one her mom made her when she was a little girl!

[@davidkanengieter]

I know ladies talking of using beets and tea to dye flour/feed sacks for making dresses.

[@tlinrin887]

My grandmother who was born in 24, told me that the women would trade sacks so they could get matching and complementary patterns.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yup

[@michaelpriest6242]

I was researching flour sack garments and came upon a photo of a woman sporting a tattoo on each arm. How commonly were women tattooed, and was it more common in some areas of the US than in others?

It's a family legend that one of my great, great, great uncles ("Spray & Pray Carl," they called him-- although we're not really sure why) used a lot of spray starch on his Civil War uniform to keep it looking dapper, even under the most inhospitable of circumstances. So much so that when he was at "Little Roundtop," the musket balls would just bounce off when fired from further distances... It all ended, though, when he couldn't find his regular brand (you know, because there was a Civil War, on) and he switched to a cheaper one with a thinner mixture. We just love telling the exploits of "Spray & Pray Carl" at family reunions and at the supermarket and such... Btw, if there was a boy of that age that didn't have a thing for Mary Ingles, he probably grew up and went to work for Bud Light. *smirk😏

My personal favorite clothing protectors of the west are gaitors! Little shin high leg covers. Lewis and Clarks men would have worn them with their uniforms too keep their legs from getting scratched up like miny chaps. They were my favorite part of my historical outfit. I thought they looked sharp and it was fun to interpret with. Thats one of the reasons i love your channel. You always talk about specific info that you wont see videos on anywhere else! Keep up the great work Santee! Hope you're having a great weekend!

Santee, great episode thank you so much for sharing. Little House on the Prairie was one of my favorite shows too and I've always enjoyed it I figured pretty much though the reason they had those covers was protect their dresses since clothes were so expensive. One last little trivia note, Levi Strauss his brother Robert is buried here in Leavenworth Kansas at the Lansing Cemetery called Mount Muncie. He died the year Levi Strauss company was founded in 1873.

[@Aswaguespack]

The KZbin Channel, the Welsh Viking, has recent videos on Medieval Fabrics and Clothing. Clothing was so labor intensive to make that it was a family’s most important possessions. A burned house could be rebuilt faster than it would take to rebuild a family’s wardrobe. So every attempt was made to exercise the utmost care to protect a family’s fabrics and clothing. So items to protect valuable clothing like aprons would have been necessities until the 20th Century when relatively inexpensive mass produced clothing would be available. Great show Santee.
