AVANT goes to meet the first cowboys who populated the American West, and also discuss how artists and Hollywood have contributed to mythology of the cowboy. They also tell the story of one of the greatest rodeo tailors of all time: Rodeo Ben, the man who designed the first Wrangler jeans.
Each story dives into the history of the United States - especially the West - and offers a modern perspective on the way these clothes have influenced the course of history and continue to interact with our society today.
IN THIS ISSUE YOU'LL FIND:
• How the Arts have mythologized the American cowboy
• The Western shirt, an American identity
• The Origin of the Stetson Hat
• Black cowboys: a forgotten history
• Dude Ranch Duds
• From suffragettes to Marilyn Monroe: the rise of women’s jeans
