Retro Dude Ranch Fashions Video- What would (or will) you wear!?!?

Often while packing for a ranch vacation, I enjoy deciding what to wear, as it's sometimes items I don't necessarily sport in the city. When headed to a dude ranch, I'll bring my cowboy hat, boots and figure out some shirts with a bit of Western flair. When I came across this video on "Dude Ranch Fashions" from 1948, I had to share it!

Filmed at a Texas ranch, the Flying L, you might laugh at some of these descriptions and the fact that the fashions are from Nieman Marcus (haven't seen anything like this in a department store lately...), including a "cotton frontier-suit with chaps and a cowboy hat." What would you wear at a dude ranch? Get our packing tips in this article and watch more dude ranch videos below.
