The history of the brand is not, however, found in its authenticity to the Old West or modern versions thereof. The Bohlin name is associated with California and the 1920s -1940s. Believe it or not, at the time, there were any number of large working ranches in the area and Bohlin and others actually did make fine stuff for folks to wear. It was a "combination culture" of the Hollywood movie cowboy and actual ranchers, My family was in the saddle and tack business going back to right after WW1 and though this may seem really "California cowboy" to a lot of you it's a very distinctive sub niche of western culture.

"Hey, is that a Diablo? No, it's a Lipshitz". Sweet.

A Texas company bought them and they've been stamping all the Bohlin stuff "HOLLYWOOD, CA" for years-- just plain dumb! The only place you'd see a "cowboy" dressed like Mix, Rogers, Autry and especially The Lone Ranger today would be in a San Francisco or Village gay bar; good luck with that $3900.00 though.

Three of the best are Big Bend Saddlery out of Alpine, Texas, Capriolas, Elko, Nevada, and Sawtooth Saddlery, Vernal, Utah. I own saddles from Big Bend and Sawtooth and they're some of the best out there. Capriiolas in Elko had a bulletin board, maybe still do, where you could get leads for a Cowboy job. They carry good rawhide stuff made by Nevada Cowboys during the winter months. All three have user friendly websites, well worth checking out.

Kate is a wonderful artist, and is tall and stately with a model like figure. Would love to see her wear one of these dresses.
I have fond memories of the net petticoats myself and my two older sisters had. Full circle petticoats that we starched and then hung on the line to dry. It was fun to wear them, especially to dances. However, it was not fun when the starched slips I was going to wear to a Jr. High dance were attacked by our family Beagle and torn to shreds! I remember a shriek of horror that come from my mouth and my Mother running to see if I had some terrible injury or something. Luckily, we rounded up some other slips and all was not lost..
Girly girls have our challenges....

I love the historical photos. Back in the '70s, college years, it was the era of Country Rock and I spent many nights at bars swing dancing. These were the perfect costumes and we all found them at thrift stores in Flagstaff, Phoenix and Tucson (although sometimes all we could find was the top or skirt). So many of them were hand made and I find it amusing how fanciful and varied the decorations are. In looking for the new dress (brown crepe with silver and gold braid and rick-rack) I bought a hand-tooled leather hand bag that I was going to use for another painting. I thought I might use it on occasion but I have been carrying it all summer. Unlike some others I have bought in the past this one is old but hasn't ever been used and is really clean on the inside. It's quite the eye-catcher and I get a lot of admiring comments when I plop it up on the counter when I pay for something in a store. I'll send you a photo.
