Bushrangers in NSW in the 1850's - 1870's wore the working man's dress of the day, that is moleskin or cord material trousers, a long sleeved shirt with a collar and sometimes a vest over that. They wore a cravat or kerchief tied around the collar like a tie and on the head a straw hat made from the plaited leaf of the local cabbage tree palm or a felt brimmed hat. They looked much neater than the movie American cowboy and were better armed as well. The Navy Colt was a favoured handgun and was often stolen from troopers or settlers during a bail-up. When their clothing got too soiled to wear, they'd just steal more. Some were gentlemen, others were complete rogues. Some noteable bushrangers were Ben Hall, Johnny Gilbert, Captain Moonlight and "Mad Dan" Morgan.
