Cowboys and vaqueros are the two popular words that are linked to this style of clothing. Though the words are different it all refers to the occupation that started in a region of Spain by the 12th century. The people at these areas had cattle rearing as one of the major occupations. These cattle herders wore tight-fitting trousers, hats with low crowns, jackets and steady boots. These were the usual dressing styles and the extra garments that were included in the design may be the result of the varying weather conditions in the particular area. Cowboys, vaqueros and the gauchos while referring to the same occupation were different groups and thus had slight difference in their clothing style. But the common factor with all the three styles is that they love wearing flamboyant styles.

The vaqueros influence in the American style of clothing started when the Spanish arrived in the Mexico by the 1519. These people started their jobs by establishing ranches and stocked them with cattle. These cattle were mostly imported from Spain. These people soon trained the Native Indians in the Mexico to ride on horseback and on the basics of handling cattle. At the start of the 1700s this occupation of cattle rearing had spread along the country to a great deal. The places which first adopted this lifestyle are the ones that we now call Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The native cowboys in these areas were called as vaqueros. Vaqueros is a word that has its Spanish origin meaning cow. These cowboys were well known for their roping skills for which they used braided rawhide.

This was the very first time that the ranchers and vaqueros of that area were given the opportunity of having trade in local markets for their animals. Therefore there were a lot of confusion on how to make this work and do it in the right way. The cattle were taken in large groups and the hard riding vaqueros accompanied them to control the herd.

This might be an overkill but the greatness of their riding skills were the key point.
