Cowboys and Cowgirls

Cowboys are American workers who care for cattle, typically from on horseback. The heyday of the American Cowboy was in the late 19th century, the days of long cattle drives. Cowboys were typically young men (or less commonly women) in the American Southwest, who were responsible for driving the cattle to and from market and for keeping the ranch in shape between drives.

Why did cowboys wear vests?

Jeans are made of one of the toughest fabric that can be found, fabric that is tougher than that found in sweat pants, slacks or dress pants. Though jeans are not the toughest material in the world (they're pathetic next to Kevlar), they are durable and wear much better than any other fabric when working in the saddle and with livestock. Jeans are also just a part of the cowboy/cowgirl protocol when trying to even look like a cowboy or cowgirl. It's also protocol when working around and riding horses, provided they fit snug and are not super baggy like some punk gangster or hip-type people wear.
