United Press International
Sandra Kauffman thinks the cow
boy look in fashion is popular be
cause it represents a direct link to
our past.
She calls western apparel “hero
clothes” and city dwellers "the legi
timate heirs of the cowboy.”
“The cowboy did a very danger
ous job in a hostile environment,”
she said in an interview. “City dwel
lers today have the same kind of
guts. We feel like loners, like one
person fighting the system.”
Kauffman, a native New Yorker,
disagrees with those who say urban
people look ridiculous in cowboy
clothes.
“If putting them on,” she said,
gesturing at her jeans, shirt and
cowboy boots, “makes us feel a lit
tle bit taller and stronger and able to
cope, that’s great.”
Kauffman also thinks western
wear’s popularity parallels the fit
ness trend.
"When Americans became in
terested in physical fitness — hik
ing, backpacking, camping, horse
back riding — I think they became
very interested in the land, and be
gan to ask, ‘Could I live like that?”’
The cowboy was glorified for
fighting off Indians and outlaws but
Kauffman thinks his real heroism
lay in working in a hostile climate, in
temperatures from 60 below to 120
above zero, and often risking his life
to stop stampedes in a hazardous
landscape.
Her crash course on western
wear and lore began with research
for her third book, “The Cowboy
Catalog” (Potter $22.50 hardcover,
$10.95 paperback). It is a guide to
buying and caring for apparel and
riding equipment and an entertain
ing history of a period almost every
one romanticizes.
She bristles when people call
cowboy outfits “costumes.”
“This,” she said, pointing to her
own apparel, “is worn all the time by
people in 16 states,” including
HAPPEN Peter Ustinov imag
ines the “unthinkable” with

explicit scenarios of nuclear
holocaust culminating in a fall
out shelter where, in the after-
math of each calamity, he
reveals how it happened.
many in the Midwest and the South
and even in New York State, where
more than 90,000 horses are used
or ridden for work and pleasure.
“They are survival clothes. They
were designed for protection. The
shirts were tapered at the waist so
they wouldn’t catch on the horns of
a steer or on the brush or saddlery.
“Boots are masterpieces of de
sign in terms of protection,” she
said.
If you’re thrown, she said, you
can kick free from the stirrups be
cause the tapered heels keep your
foot from going all the way through
and the pointed toes let you to catch
stirrups quickly in mounting.
Cowboy hats’ high crowns are
designed for coolness, she said,
and their wide brims offer protection
from sun, snow and rain.
Her husband’s family has been in
the riding equipment and apparel
business since 1875, when his
great grandfather founded H. Kauff
man & Sons Saddlery, in Newark,
N. J. The company moved to its pre
sent East 24th Street address in
New York City 60 odd years ago.
Western wear today is a $4.5 bil
lion industry, says Sylvia Kor-
nelsen, executive director of the
Denver-based Western and En
glish Manufacturers Association.
Kornelsen described that retail
sales estimate as conservative.
The single most expensive arti
cles are probably boots and silver
accessories such as belt buckles,
Kauffman said.
During research for her book,
she said, she was shown a $25,000
pair of handmade black leather
boots decorated with rubies and di
amonds. But good leather boots
can be bought for $90-$150, she
added, while alligator-skin dress
boots can run $1,400-$2,000 a pair.
Well-made cowboy boots can
last 20-30 years, she added, so
“you have to think of them as an
investment.
