Some Clothes That Cowboys Wore
BANDANA:
The bandana had many uses, most notably as a dust mask while driving cattle, as earmuffs in cold weather, as protection from sunburn on the neck, as a potholder for hot pots or branding irons. Red was the most common color and it could be made of silk, cotton or linen.
Boots
Boots with pointy toes and high heels were what they wore. The heels allowed a good grip in the stirrup and the pointy toes made it a lot easier to move in and out of the stirrup. Leather chaps were worn to prevent injury.
