Rags

[LazyK Pejay]

How many folks wear cowboy rags and do you use a slide (like your SAS badge)? I have been doing research on cavalry scarves and found many wore them but usually not yellow. Custer wore a dark blue one with a 7th Cav pin as a catch slide. I am thinking dark blue or red. Also when I search I find the rags are really large (42")? Thx.

LazyK, you can tie it with a slipknot or use a slide, whichever you prefer, but a cowboy never tied it in a way that it wouldn't come loose if it got snagged on a branch, etc, unless you wanted to hang yourself.

[LazyK Pejay]

Do folks always wear them tied in the front or "Duke" style back to front? Thx.

I've seen em tied front, back and sideways. It seems to be a personal preference.

[Silver Creek Slim]

I wear them with the knot in back. I had blue, red, and yeller ones.

I wear them at times. I just tie a knot and usually put it to the side. I don't believe the Enlisted Cavalry ever wore the yellow scarves like you see in the movies.

Glen?  Glen?  Glen.

Hmmm.  Sounds familiar.

Does anybody remember a Glen 'round here.

Glen who??? I know a Snidley that werks there now and then...more then.

Pejay untill the heat and humidity gets on around here I where them 6 to 7 months year. I double wrap in the winter(the reason for the large ones)and tied...For the same reasons Big John stated. Shooting and for dress I where a slide. To the front.

This is my slide.  It is a large concho with a ring on the back.  My rags are standard cotton bandanas.  I have several of them, mostly paisley.  I do have a Jack Daniels Field Tester bandana that I wear on occasion.  This usually gets a few laughs.

[Big John Denny]

LazyK, don't worry about color so much. The enlisted troopers bought their own scarves and wore what they could get, except for Jack Daniels Field Tester rags.

Arapaho Kid, I knew it would be you.

Hey!  Big John!  I gotta be different!

[Big John Denny]

Don't we all. How come the buffalo head?

The Buff was sacred to the Indians and with my persona of a White, raised by the Arapaho, I had to honor the beast.

[Big John Denny]

I use a slide with a cat on it. You figure out the meaning on your own.
