Only you Santee could take a plain, boring, whatever subject matter such as gloves and make it educational and entertaining. Hands down, you've got it covered
You subscribed to me three years ago, it took me a minute but I am just now seeing your channel and I have to say, this is not something I would have searched up, or probably ever have found. But I'm really glad I did, this channel is bad ass.
If it doesn't exist already, I'd like to see a video some day talking about the historical prevalence of "stacked jeans", wearing one's boots under their long jeans. Stuff like why people wore pants inside the boot, why some people didn't, and why stacked jeans became the norm? Love your content!
Miners and cowboys had to deal with environments that were bad for their pantlegs. I.E. thorns, brush, streams, etc. By tucking them in, you save that hem from getting shredded or stained.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Ah, alright! Do you have any idea why they started to stack their jeans overtop the boot instead? As far as I know, there are cowboys still doing this today.
@@ChateauLonLon From personal experience from growing up around cowboys and in the country, if you where out in the pasture or stables you may tuck your pants into your boots to protect your pants from the mud and manure, but then wear your pants over your boots any other time, for fashion it looks better especially with the type and style of boots we have today, as well as comfortability I find that if I wear my jeans inside of my boots it tends to be uncomfortable and the pants tend to bunch up around the ankle and at times it can be harder to walk in. As well as most "cowboy" boots today are not really fitted unless you special order them and tend to rock more back and forth on the ankle and up as there tends to be a lot of extra room and the pants over the boots helps negate some of that movement compared to older boots you see worn during the time that had a more tighter fit and didn't flare as much as most modern "cowboy" boots. From what I have seen however I could be wrong on that I am not expert. Also it depends on the person you will still see people wear the pants in the boots vs over.
Another great video, sir. Gloves were useful and practical and everyone wore them or used them for some job. Between about 1840 to the early 1900s , neither men nor women would be in public without gloves. Even into the early 60s, ladies still wore gloves.
Mostly in the East or Europe. At well-to-do funerals, they would give out gloves. If you look at photos from our frontiersman, they rarely have on gloves. Signs of the practical pioneers.
It’s always a pleasure to see you santee your knowledge on the Wild West is amazing no wonder you have such a awesome channel it’s awesome being part of your family could do with some nice warm gloves in the weather we have in the U.K. take care santee thanks for sharing you are a legend 👍
Hello Santee! Speaking of gloves I should have been wearing them outside this morning when I was hanging out my wash! It's pretty cold in my neck of the woods! Love that picture of you and your wife! Thanks for another great video. Take care & God bless!
Loved the video once again. I wear gloves a lot did not know they used fingerless glove back then though thanks for the education... Have fun and keep your powder dry.
Hey Arizona Ghostriders. Stay strong in these perilous times! America is dying but you guys help me remember how great we used be! I wish I could go back in time to the old west and I wish this was all a bad dream.
A better America will be born out of the ashes of the old one. It is about time we the people stand up for our rights and stop the government infringing our rights.
@@stoundingresults I want to believe that, but current events are painting a different picture. Things will only get worse, as is prophecied in revelations, before Jesus returns.
Mary Todd Lincoln, In 1865 bought a bulk purchase of 300 pairs of kids gloves. No one knows why exactly But she herself had habits of expensive clothing and was known to have a few dozen pairs herself.
I think she had OCD,she always had a spending habit that got worse as she lost two sons and her husband as well. She eventually ended up in a mental hospital. Her and Lincoln's biography is here on RU-vid.
Being a true user of work gloves everyday of the week, I enjoyed learning about gloves from our past. Thank You for another entertaining and educational video Arizona Ghostriders. Have A Great and Safe Week! Happy Trails!
Also depends on the type of leather. Kangaroo skin is ideal for wet conditions, dosen't slip , especially on reins , Buffaloo hide is very thick and hard wearing and stretches. Pig skin is thinner but hard wearing. Hide gloves are better for hot work.
Really keeping the old west alive. I love the fact that you have created a super repository of well research information. Has helped me a few times as a Cowboy action shooter!!!
I didn't even realize that this was your new video today. I saw it in my reccomended but I didn't check the date so I just thought it was one of your older videos that I have not yet seen.
Hi Santee always a pleasure mate. Gloves Gits mazing just how often one uses them, from my days on the farm to driving i think i always have gloves on, I remember been a teenager an a workmate pranking me telling me a certain set he had stopped you getting shocks from the electric fence on our station, anyways just grab it he ses so i walk on over and casually grab the wire and get 6000 volts through me lol, good times , hope 2021 is been kind to you thus far my friend may the rest be amazing,
@@ArizonaGhostriders + lol kiwi humor mate , not as bad as when I worked in a shearing gang and got given a bottle of oil and took a swig thinkin it was water lol, Tell yah mate ive had some beauts when it comes to been pranked at work. you to Santee stay safe out there
What movie was that trick shot with Maureen O'Hara from? Also, besides looking sharp, what are the advantages of gauntlets, and who would be likely to wear them?
Santee, I'm looking to make some fingerless gloves for a western character I'm planning to do. I know it's used for the working class and everything, I like the idea of gunslingers wearing them, it ups the cool factor. So, in your opinion, what would be the best type to make fingerless gloves?
The animated glove stretcher looks remarkably like a handlebar mustache curling iron. I was recently fitted for a prosthetic eye, how about a video on disabilities and the ways they coped with them?
@@ArizonaGhostriders my profile picture was taken by my high school buddy right after I received the prosthetic. Both of us were amazed at how closely they had matched my real eye and he couldn’t wait for his wife to see.
Hope they made them better quality than they do today. I have to replace my gloves yearly due to holes forming in the fingertips. And I don't have long nails at all...
Great and very informative , and even a handy video Santee. Im gonna fix my tanned leathergloves a bit after watching this. Thank you and keep up the amazing work you do :)
Thanks again Santee & Co. I must say that your grasp of the subject is worth pointing out . I have another thought , but just can't put my finger on the right wprds. See Y'all down the trail .
another great video Santee.... was wondering if you had heard the news of the passing of actor and songwriter, Ed Bruce this week.... He wrote the song, "Mamas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"
Another good one! Santee, if anyone complains about your caffeine addiction, tell them you’ll buy them a cup of coffee and talk to them about it. Make sure it’s the kind that can float a horseshoe. 🤣
hi Santee, great vid as always! i have a question, what is the name of the mountain you always see in the background of all the cowboy movies and tv shows filmed at Old Tucson? i think that mountain is as famous as the movies and actors themselves
Nice video, Santee. And remember, "No glove, no love." *:D* Though ironically, Gloving is a thing with the younger generation nowadays. (Nothing dirty or sleazy.)
"take this job and shove it" wish I could have that song play where I work when I finally leave for a job I actually enjoy. Have you done a video about bounty hunters I forget? The reason I'm asking is because I saw Jonah Hex movie (2010) and I'm wondering was there ever a bounty hunter as tough as him? P.s. the actor playing Hex did a great job
Man santee i sure do love these videos Im a huge fan of western history Especially the era of when the age of gunslingers and lawmen went extinct Btw in about a year and a half I'll be joining the u.s army I really gotta study up on my general history I hope to one day see you do a video about language and slang in the old west Have a great day partner!
I'd like to know what methods did the gunmen use to tie down the holster to their body so it didn't flop around when drawing their revolver out? Any special knots used? Thanks!
Not drinking out of an Arizona Ghostriders Coffee mug... Santee, Dirty Dan needs to talk to you. Actually, a porcelain covered metal cup with the Arizona Ghostriders logo would be quite tony.
Could you do a vid on drifters (the classic Eastwood archetype) please? Either as a Dressing the Part or as an exposé on travelling with clothes & other essentials for those not in the "I can afford a stagecoach" class, if it's not too much trouble. As Southern Hospitality was definitely a thing, there must have been at least a few of these guys out there, doing odd jobs an whatnot.
You can also put some chewing tobacco, salt in water for a few days and rub it in. Follow a work pattern and then go lighter to simulate an uneven dye pattern
