Buckskins are clothing, usually consisting of a jacket and leggings, made from buckskin, a soft sueded leather from the hide of deer. Buckskins are often trimmed with a fringe – originally a functional detail, to allow the garment to shed rain, and to dry faster when wet because the fringe acted as a series of wicks to disperse the water – or quills.〔U.S. Cavalryman, 1865-1890, by Martin Pegler〕 Buckskins derive from deerskin clothing worn by Native Americans. They were popular with mountain men and other frontiersmen for their warmth and durability. Buckskin jackets, often dyed and elaborately detailed, are a staple of western wear and were a brief fad in the 1970s. The American jacket/tunic known as a wamus was originally made from buckskin with fringe. == Famous wearers == *Annie Oakley *Buffalo Bill *Calamity Jane *Davy Crockett *George Armstrong Custer *Sitting Bull *Wild Bill Hickok *Tommy Seebach 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buckskins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
