Historic-Period-Clothing---Part-II-Country-and-Western-Costumes-(FI)
Loren Bridge has the confidence to match Tom Selleck’s movie characters and often models country and western costumes for www.wyomingclassics.com. His wife Elaine Bridge, the seamstress for Bridge Over Time & Wyoming Classics creates period clothing that could walk off any Hollywood set. Depending on Loren’s wardrobe he might play a Mountain Man, a wealthy Cattle Baron, Taylor Made or Stampede Pete. His personality quickly transforms when he dons a 19th Century outfit for his Cowboy Action Shooting persona Taylor Made.
Country and western costumes are truly period clothing made specifically for reenactments, historians, museums or vintage collections. The Cowboy Action Shooting persona, Taylor Made, appears to have stepped from the stage coach having enjoyed the ride with Wild Bill Hickok to Deadwood, South Dakota for a weekend of gambling. His persona is a fictional character Loren created, from the late 1800s. His clothes are “made” by his wife and he plays a Taylor guitar hence Taylor Made. Bridge Over Time & Wyoming Classics has several clients who are Cowboy Action Shooters that desire specialty made country and western costumes. One particular character walked right off the sheet music…
With the discovery of the 1915 sheet music written for the Missoula Stampede (Montana) the character Stampede Pete and his female companion Pattee Canyon came alive in 2009 at the Western Montana Fair with Kirchmann Media Group. The lyrics provided the clues for Elaine Bridge to sew period costumes for both fictional characters. The lyrics taken from the original sheet music paint the picture even further of the rowdy Montana cowboy:
