Western Wear – a Uniquely American Joy

 

Western wear is derived from the unique style of the western clothes worn in the early American West.  Western clothing is closely styled after the singing cowboys such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers.  The extravagant western wear costuming consists - most of the time - of rhinestones and detailed embroidery.

When you watch Hollywood’s red carpet events and candid pictures of actors and actresses, you will see some of this western style in their wardrobes.  Western wear is a part of modern apparel and has a big influence in today’s fashion world.  Just look at the cuts of shirts for the women and the way many shirts fit a man’s physique.

In addition to the western clothing appeal, people are demanding longer lasting, more durable fabrics for their clothes.  They are also finding ways to incorporate the ornate detailing of the embroidery and classy rhinestone decorations into their modern wardrobe.

Many people agree that getting back to their roots and buying authentic western clothing is the best way to grab hold of the classic western wear style, durability and comfort of the true western apparel.  Designers will manipulate a piece of artistic western wear until a lot of times it won’t even resemble the original piece.  What is the point of buying western wear when it doesn’t have a trace of its roots and doesn’t come near the comfort level our western wear will give you?

Even though many of these celebrities and fashionistas are only buying them for looks, it shows good common sense when it comes to shopping because they know good quality clothing when they see it.

In homes where money isn’t coming from every which way, western clothing still makes even greater sense.  With reasonable prices and the long lasting durability of western wear, you will be able to save a lot of money.  Expensive department store clothing may look good for a time, but when it comes to holding up for every occasion and being affordable for people in all walks of life, it just doesn’t make sense to spend that much money on something that won’t last long and won’t always fit into any dress style for almost all occasions.

Western wear is unique in and of itself.  The durability of the clothes is nearly unmatched.  The stylish trends and confidence you have when you wear the western clothing is amazing.  Finding out that you can buy them without taking out a second mortgage on your house is also great, but you will be the most proud of the way you feel in them.  The comfort of western wear is desired by everyone, and unlike a lot of other clothes, everyone can afford them.

Where can I find Western show Saddle pads?

I just got a brand new saddle and am trying to find a new show pad to look awesome for the show season. Where can I find western show saddle pads that has some bling? I want a solid black one possibly with some pink rhinestones Any websites that you recommend would be great thank you.
I show in Reining and cutting, so you usually dont wear much bling on your shirts thats why I was thinking wearing a pink shirt and then finding a black saddle pad with some bling since my saddle doesnt really have much

My favorite western catalog is Sergeant's, but most horse-related catalogs have western pads (both show and practice pads). Of course, I don't know what discipline you're speaking of--I show the western all-around classes (WP, HMS, etc.) and haven't yet seen the rhinestones on the pad. Personally, I'd prefer a slightly less "loud" pad just because my show outfits and my saddle are going to have enough bling with the silver (saddle) and crystals (outfit). You may be doing barrel racing or something, though, and I can't speak for that.

Any tack website that has western gear should also have western pads. Ebay is also a great resource for both new and used equipment. You may have to add the "bling" you want to get a pad that specific.
