Tales of the Old West – Cowboy Costumes

Tales of the Old West fascinate us.  Boys dream of being Wyatt Earp or Blondie.  Women dream of being Annie Oakley, or one of those incredible beauties who captured our attention with their voice and style in the local saloon.  Perhaps some of us even like the idea of being the Mexican Bandit, giving the likes of Marshall Jed Cooper a run for his money. 

There are a few, those who love a good bit of comedy mixed into our Old West fantasy, who favour The Frisco Kid, or Avram, the Polish rabbi.  He survives outlaws and almost being burned at the stake by Indians as he works his way across the west on his way towards San Francisco. 

All of these and many more make excellent ideas for Cowboy Costumes

For the Mexican Bandit, consider the Authentic Looking Poncho, combined with the Mexican Bandit Sombrero hat, Bandana Neckerchief in Red and the Mexican Handlebar Moustache.  To transform your Mexican into Blondie from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, subtract the moustache and add a blonde wig and the Cigar with LED. 

To be Tommy, the Frisco Kid or just your above-average really cool cowboy, consider the Western Cowboy Costume, which comes with a three-quarter length brown coat, mock shirt front and bootlace tie.  To complete the look add the Western Wandering Gunman Hat, Western Holster and Belt, and Western Black Boot spurs. 

For those who aspire to Avram, consider the Rabbi costume complete with the robe, beard, hat with hair, and scarf.
