Good find, @Stracci! Staying with fashion designers…

Jack A. Weil “Papa Jack”, who founded Rockmount Ranch Wear, was the longest serving CEO in the world, working until age 107. Papa Jack made the first Western shirts with snaps, with his design and vision being fundamental to popularizing Western fashion and expanding its reach into a more mainstream market. Considered the longest continuously made shirt in the USA, the classic ‘Sawtooth’ pocket & ‘diamond’ snap design remains an American fashion icon.

I need to watch it again, great cast. I just listened to the theme song on YouTube quick to hear it again, and a movie montage ran with it. I admit all the people falling off the horses made me cringe. Got bucked off couple years ago and ended up with a concussion :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This one isn’t great, but it’s a different view of the same scene.

Last night, Devil’s Doorway (1950) was on TV and it made me take another look for Robert Taylor’s belt. Found a few more photos. Awesome belt buckle in a pattern I’ve never seen before.

The jewelry he’s wearing is from his friend, David Dear in Pojoaque, NM. Richardson was a regular at David’s shop, and used to stop by just to shoot the breeze. Santa Fe sterling silver gold jewelry designs

Don’t have a photo of him wearing this bola, but this is one we made for delivery to Eric Clapton through James Rogers Silversmiths in 1988. The silversmithing work is by Bruce Morgan, my shop foreman at the time,

Good looking bolo, Mike. So is your ex-shop foreman the same Bruce Morgan who made my watch band?
