Great Book

I liked the historical information on the evolution of modern western wear, the pictures were outstanding. For me the book was a little short, I would have liked more in depth information on what the westerners were wearing in the 1880 to 1910.

Tyler and wife, Valerie Beard's knowledge and collection of Western boots and clothing is superlative bar none. After reading their colorful, detailed books full of glorious photos, it is obvious they are the very best authoritative voice on the subject in the west!
