Origin of Lampasse

No mention of what was worn by cowboys in the western US? Typical

What are you talking about? If these are colonists from northern Europe, then the clothes must be from northern Europe.

Cowboys wore Indian clothing. And there were no colonists on the prairie. There is no such data.

Look at all the fringe on the jacket. Now imagine trying to get a wayward cow or calf out of a mesquite thicket in that thing. The fringe would be getting caught on ever twig, thorn or branch.

Most likely, the fringe was for sewing clothes, these are apparently cords that tied pieces of material, and they were not cut off. They didn't use thread.

On the wooden boots of the peasants, this is all the more useless lol

Cowboys wore work clothes of the day. This would have been the late 1800s. Few of them were immigrants fresh off the boat.

There is a link to what actual American cowboys wore. Now you can stop with the nonsense of Bast shoes and fringe jackets.

You really are clueless.

The fringe was not meant for tying pieces of material. And if they were not cut off, you are talking about tying things to the coat? LMAO!

There were no immigrants from the ships on the prairies, they were not even in New France. There is no evidence that they were anywhere outside the colonies.

That is why I said "Few of them were immigrants fresh off the boat.".

And as far as coats go, most cowboys in the old west would have a duster style coat, not some hippie fringe jacket.

The duster was perfect for the cowboy. It was split in the back, so it stayed in place when sitting in a saddle. It gave coverage to the legs, even when riding. It was durable, typically made of waterproofed canvas.

Also, New France was gone. It had become part of the US at least 75 years prior to the cowboy heyday.

So British peasants couldn't be cowboys?

Vice versa. The British were expelled to Canada and Europe from the colonies, but Washington returned them. Then they were apparently expelled again

If they could afford a horse, saddle, bridle, blanket, the clothing, and could pay to get to the open range, sure they could. But they would have to know how to ride VERY well. They would also need to be able to rope cattle etc.

The status of the British has nothing to do with the fact that New France had been sold to the US by France.

Where styling does come into play ...
Native Americans, mountaineers and cowboys would often cut pieces of the fringe to use in securing items to their other gear, or repairs to existing gear.

It was often as much utilitarian as fashion.

I have no information that they could afford a horse.

sale is fake. This has already been discussed. This is invented to hide the fact of the expulsion of the British from the colonies.

Cowboys provided their own horse. Most used their wages to have a string of ponies. Without a horse they could not be a cowboy.

You made ridiculous claims about the sale being fake. But the US paid the money and France gave up their claim to the land. So New France no longer existed by the time the cowboys were working the open range.

His timeline manipulations and desire to completely reject anything that doesn't fit his limited understanding or preferred perceptions ...
Makes his overall ideology look like swiss cheese ...

Military units using various decorations is not news. Most were either designed to shock their opponents or add to the decorative pomp of the dress uniform.

of course, British peasants could not be cowboys, they could barely feed themselves
