What does ‘Rawhide’ have to do with this? Well, nothing really… the cowhide just reminded me of the show I use to watch as a kid. There I go reveling my age, LOL Anyway, ‘ Rawhide’ was a show on TV when I was young. It portrayed the challenges men faced while out on the cattle trail. I guess that is the similarity cattle trail and cowhide vest.
I have this crazy awesome girlfriend, who is a real cowgirl from Texas. She gave me this beautiful cowhide vest to wear. I am just the fashion , artsy type who fell in love with the vest. my girlfriend texted me last night and asked for a pic of the vest. So here you go… me wearing this sweet cowhide vest.

Your cowhide brought out a long forgotten memory. When I was in college, we had a cowhide rug from my husbands’ grandmothers farm!!!! Never thought about making it into a vest!
Too bad you don’t still have it.. Can’t tell you how many things after you get rid of them I wish would of kept but at the time was of no use to me…lol
Oh, and that jingle for “Rawhide” was so catchy, it is still in my head!!
I can still picture the opening of the show every time I see the word rawhide and hear them saying those words as they head out on the wagon trail. Client Eastwood was so young then….
