Wearing Western Belt Buckles and Bolos
Belt buckles are generally worn as part of the traditional ‘ranch
hand style’. This outfit consists of clothes tough enough
to withstand the elements, but which also purvey a strong sense
of western style. Long, snug-fitting jeans that bunch at the bottom
are tucked into cowboy boots, whilst the belt’s buckle takes
prominent place in-between these and a crisply ironed and tucked
in western-style shirt. A cowboy hat completes the set – felt
in winter, straw in summer.
Bolo ties are used to complement further such an outfit, often to
‘upgrade’ the look, somewhat. To render the wearer more
elegant, a matching belt buckle or bolo tie may be worn, and the
two will preferably be crafted from sterling silver.
Many celebrities have been seen sporting western-style belt buckles
and bolo ties. To name just a few - Chuck Norris, Ken Norton, Mike
Modano, Gene Autry, Roy Rodgers, and John Travolta.
