Cowboys originally wore western wear on the range. USPS issued four 2021 stamps featuring iconic cowboy clothing.

Stamps depict a cowboy hat, belt buckle, boot with spur, and western shirt with popular symbols.

Hollywood’s Western films popularized cowboy fashion in the 1940s and 50s.

Movies introduced stars like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and John Wayne, inspiring people’s interest.

This led to increased casual wear of cowboy hats, boots, shirts, bolo ties, and bandanas.

Today, western clothing is widespread, showcasing love for cowboy culture or serving as a daily work uniform.

Western wear serves as a reminder of simpler times, evoking smiles when proudly worn.
