Seriously. Can you see what they are? Can you please tell ME what they are? (I've never been to cowboy country so consider me clueless!)

If you were putting together a cowboy quilt, how important would this print be (considering other cowboy motifs like lassos, boots, hats, horses...)

Which is better? The darker one or the lighter one?

They look like chaps and gloves and belt buckles.

They are chaps. You wear them over your pants to protect your legs from brush etc.

Grama Lehr

I would say Chaps and leather gloves. . . I like the light one better.

cjomomma

I'm not sure but they look like chaps ( sp?). They are worn on the outside of jeans. For what purpose I don't know. I like the lighter one better.

MissippiGal

They ARE chaps, and gloves, and belt buckles.

ChubbyBunny

I can tell what they are and I'm not into western gear. I prefer the lighter one.

QuiltingGrannie

Ditto. Chaps, gloves and belt buckles. Some of the chaps are only the one side and look like they are pistol holders.

Chaps are worn by cowboys to protect the legs from the brush and such.

A different style of chaps are worn by motorcycle riders to protect their legs from the bugs, dust, dirt and road rash when they have an accident. (Leather chaps, leather gloves and leather jackets and boots - protect bikers!)

The lighter one shows what things are better. It also depends on what you have to go with it, what the rest of the colors you are using are.

Of the two, I like the lighter one better. As to the importance of this print vs. ones of other cowboy things, I'm of this opinion: those of us who watched Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and all the others on t.v. & in movies in the days of yesteryear, would find this print just as valid as one with lassoes, horses, hats, etc., but am wondering about today's youth, if not from horse country. If they don't live in ranch & rodeo areas and are not familiar with the old t.v./movie cowboy look, they would perhaps not get the significance of this print. Speaking for myself, I like it a lot, but I also like all the other western stuff.
