    About this ebook

    A photo-filled look at the cowboy accessory that’s become a modern work of art and fashion statement.

    No longer just a rag to wipe the sweat and dirt off a cowboy’s face, western scarves have become a work of art. From hipsters to rock stars, this “wild rag” is a unique fashion statement.

    With beautiful photography, Diane Zamost, an expert in western clothing who’s spent over twenty years buying and selling at horse shows, rodeos, and western arts festivals, takes the reader through the history of the scarf, its uses, and creative ways to tie it. Celebrate cowboy couture at its finest!

      Western Scarves - Diane Zamost

      Introduction

      It’s been said we are all born into a place and time for a reason. My place—the newly settled northern suburbs of Chicago. The time—early 1950s. Okay, not exactly cowboy country, but the West came to me through a magic box called a television. Those early days of this new medium will forever be impressed upon the minds of those of us who experienced them in personal and sometimes profound ways. You can guess what my way was. In the 1950s and ’60s, there were more westerns than any other genre of entertainment, and they influenced a whole generation. Who didn’t play cowboys and Indians, good guys and bad guys, or white hat and black hat?

      So, where did this cowboy thing come from? my dad asked, not long before he went to ride the other range.

      Looking back, I believe it instilled in me a sense of ethics and grounding that hasn’t been seen much since. And who didn’t have a cowboy outfit? Mine was sent to me from Aunt Ruthie who lived in San Antonio. She had no idea what she started. The outfit was white with big red roses and green vines embroidered on the shirt and pants. It had pearl snaps on the shirt and pants pockets and a red belt. Classic! A cowgirl princess was born. I am still hunting for that now vintage outfit. I know it’s out there somewhere. My look was completed by pretending my bike was a horse. The seeds were planted.

      Left to my own devices at an early age, it wasn’t long before I started seeking out the real horses in my area. I would walk and ride my bike miles to the stables, just to hang around and eventually trading chores for a chance to ride. Trail rides led to horse shows, which led to dude ranches, all the while I would think, Where’s all the old cowgirl and cowboy stuff? The fancy fringed gloves, the embroidered shirts? Where’s the short peewee boots and colorful scarves with the images I’ve carried around in my head all these years? I know they’re here somewhere. And they were.

      I don’t remember whether I saw an advertisement or if someone told me about a cowboy and Indian auction. Auction? I thought, Okay, could be interesting. So off I went.

      I was mesmerized by the bits, spurs, saddles, the smell of the leather, and the feel of the hand-carved, tooled grooves in the leather. All the beaded moccasins and gloves, cowgirl shirts and outfits, and blankets a girl could want! The ranch and rodeo, cowboy and cowgirl images on scarves and blankets, the
