   I was going to reply to Wyvern75 in the vest thread   
   but decided this needed a new attention-getting header.

   The above is a web site that has the best collection   
   of "Working Cowboy" photos I've ever seen, online   
   or offline. While the photos are later dated than   
   the 1870-80 era, I doubt that cowboys had changed that   
   much in the interim.
