Hunk in Wooly Chaps, Old Real Photo Postcard antique renaissance revival marquetry I am very picky aboutThough I believe his wooly chaps, bandana and rope were a costume donned for the sake of the photo (provided by the photographer, to be worn in front of saloon backdrop), this guy looks to me born to wear them, and perhaps he's just realized his calling as a cowboy!
